Yarn anticipation

So, the other day, I got this little email from Ms Supergirl herself, Rebecca, saying that she was coming to Paris and wanted to mail me something from here. I told her not to be a silly goose and we eventually decided to meet up instead. She just casually said, "I would love to bring you supplies if that helps out!" Little did she know insert somewhat evil laugh here that I would first make one little purchase to send to her and when she said, "I have plenty of room! Please feel free to send me stuff" that I wouldn't hesitate to take her up on it. I just got off the phone with the lovely Sheila who is putting a bunch of stuff in the mail to Rebecca to bring to me. Sheila was way too patient with me when I was saying things like, "I want something thin, but not scratchy and not cotton and not too fuzzy and in a nice color, but not pastel and not bright." and "What kind of gold, baby shit gold or is it pretty?" She actually asked one of her employees in a loud and clear voice in what I can only assume is the middle of her store, "Is this the color of baby shit? How would you describe it?"I am so freaking excited I can't even stand it! How on earth am I going to make it another 11 days until Rebecca is here?! I will certainly be unbearable until she arrives.

And not only am I going to visit with one knitter, I am also going to see a second! Kris, the francophile Norwegian is coming for a long weekend with her best pal and has kindly agreed to see me to enjoy some pains au chocolat and red wine. I told her if we had enough red wine I might even sing a Norwegian kiddie song I learned from an exchange student in high school (If you're out there somewhere Gerd-Elin, I think of you and I'm sorry we didn't stay in touch! It's all my fault.)
