reboot

Today has started off all wrong. Last night, strange sounds in the barn kept us awake (an owl? a raccoon?), and this morning- a pregnant stray cat showed up on our porch for a belly rub. Poor thing, I bet she's due in a week, which means one vet appointment to check on the kittens and another for a post-birth spaying appointment. Also, the nice Toshiba laptop I ordered was out of stock, so I had to scour the internet for an equally awesome deal while trying to figure out the differences between processors and Windows Vista operating systems. gah! It's no wonder I woke up and named a yarn "Short Fuse."

I did finally settle on a laptop which was souped up beyond my needs but still within budget (a toshiba satellite with 4gig ddr and a 320 gig hard drive for a little over $600). And the cat appears healthy AND friendly... so I suppose there's a sunny side to my dilemmas that I should be grateful for.

Oh, and last night, a package arrived- these gorgeous rainbow locks by Wild Hare on Etsy.The locks are so beautiful! They're perfectly clean and very very fine and soft. And the colors are extra-delicious.

I'm planning on brewing a cup of wild blueberry tea and settling down with my drum carder and my favorite colors for a small batt session to chase away a hectic morning.
