Greetings from Saggy Bottoms KY

I really am going to have to stop going out in public anymore. I mean, every time I do something is always happening. I guess I could look at it as material to write that novel I  have always wanted to write, but sheesh, it's kind of getting out of hand.

So there I was backing up my car to park in the parking lot of Hobby Lobby, yeah, I back up to park just like a gangster! And then as I was getting all the things together that make up the magic that is me...I looked up and in the parking spot before me a woman was getting out of a car...and...hold on, this one is a doosey...her jeans were so far down that I not only saw her butt crack but almost the bottom of her cheeks. OMGosh. I know my face was making expressions that I could not control.  When she got out of the car, she tried to pull the jean back up, but they were about two sizes too small for her, she kind of looked like an armadillo in a sweatsuit..it was not normal,  I just wanted to scream "My eyes!" but of course I did not. I was kind of wondering the whole time I was walking towards the door if this chick had a sister who shops at Kroger and who owns Elmo pajamas.  It does kind of make you wonder.

So after that traumatic experience in the parking lot, Hobby Lobby was a bust. They did not have my Stardust yarn. I had thought about pulling a Brando yell right there in the yarn aisle, you know where he looks up at the sky and screams "Stella"...well, I of course would not have been screaming Stella...maybe Stardust...but not Stella. But I thought I'd better get out of there before something jumped in my basket and I'd have some ex'planin' to do to my Ricky Riccardo who also goes by the name of Hubby.

As I was making my way towards the front door....I saw this cool looking rooster cookie jar. He was awesome. I could just see him sitting there at the end of the bar in my kitchen...of course if you get a cookie jar, you are duty bound to fill it with something yummy..something that is so delicious that just looking at it puts ten pounds on your butt! You know what I mean.  :)   I almost ran out of the store just thinking of the 10 extra pounds and what I had seen earlier. Needles to say, the rooster is still calling Hobby Lobby home!

Wishing you all many stitches of love.  :)

Is that cookie jar on a display with a bunch of red and black and antique white colored kitchen/table goodies? I think I've been looking at the exact same thing at the store near me. All the goodies on that display are yelling at me each time I pass by! How I LOVE that store! Lord knows, I'm in there all the time! With my 40% off coupon, I buy one skein of yarn at a time often...it's only five minutes from my house so I have the luxury of such wastefulness! I'm laughing aloud at your encounter in the parking lot! What did her mother teach her about dressing? There are plenty more out there too! Ciao, Bella - and thanks for the giggles. Annette

You crack me up! I wear sizes of clothes bigger than me so I can hide my fat and there are bunches of chicks out there wearing 3 sizes too small and they think they look good. NOT. I bet they are sisters! lol

Have a wonderful weekend Miss Vicki! And if anyone can get that beautiful throw done it's you!! xoxox
