"Outside my window, Spring is holding its breath."

**Mari** · 03-25-2008, 09:27 AM

o_O We've got some serious hail coming down here. I hope my little sis isn't out there right now or can at least find some shelter... Wouldn't want her to come back home bleeding. O_o

But be careful, because the last time I underestimated the woolliness of the wool and I ended up making not a scarf, but an extra blanket... (One was too big to use as a scarf, so I made another and sewed them together et voila.

)
I left it behind in Japan though.

Ok, I'll be careful. My first task is to go to the store and get some new needles and yarn. I was using a couple huge needles that my friend had, but we're going to go to the old lady store one of these days and find some good stuff.

That would be bad....just a little bit.

The... old lady store? Wahahaha! That's so funny!
Hehe, my sis just came in and asked why I was laughing.

She didn't have to go through the hail, fortunately.

Anyways, good luck. Knitting is quite fun, or at least, I think it is. Though I never seem to be able to finish something... (other then the previously mentioned scarf/blanket

)

I've made this so far:

That's so pretty!!! I love knitting

I think it's fun.

You there, has your sis decided about her college yet?

**Mari** · 03-25-2008, 04:06 PM

Me here, no she hasn't. Nor have I. For me I have an open campus coming up this Friday. I went with my sis to an open campus from Marine Biology (I showed it to her and she was really really really enthusiastic) but when we got there after 3 hours of travelling, we could go home again, because (contrary to the information on their website) my sisters previous study weren't on the right level and basically she was told that she wasn't smart enough for it. By the studycounsellor... Honestly, I could strangle that woman! My sis was feeling down for a week.

She is now again looking for a backup study. Her first choice is Forensic Research by the way, but I guess I told that already.

Anyway... cup of tea anyone? Chocolate eggs? *places chocolate eggs on the table and pours a cup of tea for herself.

Oh, good gracious. Sure, I love chocolate eggs. And a cup of caffeinated tea, please. Just about to go on a long drive.

**Mari** · 03-25-2008, 04:21 PM

Ummm *wonders how to make caffeinated tea* will Earl Grey do? *pushes the eggs forward* Have some!

And be careful when driving!

Earl Grey is swell. I just meant "Not the occasion for something floral and herbal"

I'm not leaving right this instant...but in a bit.

**Mari** · 03-25-2008, 04:31 PM

I have at least 13 different flavours, ranging from green to black with just a few herbals in between, so I always have something people like.

So, are you off for something fun?

Not so much, lol. It's endorsement season. More nuts than a chocolate factory.

I have the good job, though. A friend of mine attended 6 Easter Egg hunts, last week.

**Mari** · 03-25-2008, 04:39 PM

I have no idea what you are talking about, but great! ^_^

At this time of the year, the woods are full of wandering packs of politicians, trying to get people to say they're best. Who says it, and when, controlls a lot of the money for the campaigns.

However, if you are already elected to certain positions, you have to kiss every baby and cut every ribbon you can. Hence the easter egg hunt issue.

These days, you need all those moments posted to your website, too.

**Mari** · 03-25-2008, 04:46 PM

Ah, okay. I think I understand now. (I think the Dutch public would be very shocked if our politicians would start kissing babies

)

The last sane person · 03-25-2008, 04:57 PM

Whiskey Sour please.

**Mari** · 03-25-2008, 05:03 PM

Argh! Sane, I love to pour you a drink, but what is a Whiskey Sour? I know plain Whiskey, Red Whiskey and a Whiskey Baileys mix, that okay too? *starts looking for Whiskey in the cabinets*

sisterandcousinandaunt · 03-25-2008, 05:06 PM

Let me do it, Mari. Cherry, twist, or both?
