Am I going crazy?

A bit of a random thought (geez, where do I think I am-over at the CPA-completely pointless and arbitrary-group over at Ravelry?!) ...anyhoo...my Kozy Shack 'no sugar added' chocolate pudding is tasting not so tasty tonight! What's up with that?

While I'm being random, I thought I'd share this with you all, too: a friend of mine was off work yesterday. Seems she had poisoned her boyfriend and herself with some soup she had made with some sort of Elephant Ear plant she had bought at-HOME DEPOT! It went something like this, "They sell this plant used in a soup at asian markets and when I saw the plant at Home Depot, I thought it was the same thing..." OMG! The side effects and details sounded ghastly and I still can't get over that she: 1) did not go to see a doctor, 2) didn't call 9-1-1 and 3) lived to tell the tale! I just hope her liver hasn't incurred irreparable damage! Apparently she couldn't speak and her boyfriend could barely speak to poison control...

OK, yet I digress (and the pudding is still tasting weird to me...) And now I've no time to add pics to my report on Camp Crow's Feet! I think the majority of fun was already reported, but I will follow through with the rest of Camp very soon! This is what I have so far, but no pictures for ya...

Camp Crows Feet: Revealed!

Camp Crow's Feet-After Wednesday...

OK, I have to report that after Wednesday came...Wednesday Night! You had to be there, but it was on this night that you will read references to "Ghost of Alice"s, the Recovering Catholics Support Group, and other knitter-bonding activites...(I think the bartenders will never think of knitters in the same way. ever. again...)

Thursday was upon us with another rigorous schedule of classes! My 'tribe' enjoyed a morning class with "Dumb and Dumber" (Steph and Tina)-but we learned so much that "dumb and dumber" truly is a misnomer! For instance, how is it that Tina is able to continuously address (and obsess) over the whole gauge issue only to ultimately prove that many things just plain are 'NOT TINA'S FAULT'? And she never seems to run out of ways to bring that gauge issue home!

Poor Cookie A. was our fourth and final class of camp-and unfortunately at that point, I was just plain tired and worn out! Cookie had some great material for us-we learned about and worked on traveling stitches. She even came up with her own 'Cat inspired' labeling to help us invision the concept of traveling stitches!

That night was the Underwater Knitting competition, but since I had SassyMan and Lil' Emp hanging out at the Resort, I ended up pre-occupied and missed this year's competition. That evening, we didn't have 'campfire', but I ended up working on our Sock Monkey "homework", since we were charged with the responsibility of showing up the next day, sock puppet and sock monkey in hand-completed and ready to play! I ended up hanging with some camp buds and it was an absolutely wonderful, creative, serendiptious time! Lou worked on her "Beatnik" monkey and pondered a name after adding a knit beret and goatee...oh-and a gum cigarette! I threw out the name 'Thelonius" and someone threw out, "YEAH! Thelonius MONKey!!!!" We roared out loud! Lisa decided her cowboy monkey (with hat) would not be complete without some 'chaps', which then led to a lasso, which then (the next day) segued to boots with spurs and making it an anatomically correct male species of a monkey...and lo and behold, she had her BROKEBACK MONKEY! It went on and on like that-tossing out ideas and expanding and playing upon thoughts and themes. Truly incredible experience!
