I go to write out an invoice, and it takes me twenty minutes to find the checkbook. (On the piano, where I wrote out the check for the last piano lesson.) I write out the check, find an envelope, and can't find the stapler. I finally find the stapler (on Elvis's desk) and it has no staples. I know I've seen a little box of staples somewhere because one of the kids spilled it recently and I stepped on a staple, but now it's nowhere to be found. I run around the house looking for it, yelling the word for staple in French because it's galling (gaul-ing?) that I can remember the word for staple in French (it's "agrafe") but cannot remember where the damn box of staples is. And so it goes. A five-minute task takes an hour.
I have given up on the staples and stolen a paper clip from somewhere, and now I'm going to wind some yarn. I've got more Cashsock, that luscious blend of cashmere, merino and nylon, and I'm doing a big update tomorrow on BBF.
I've done a bunch of colorways in batches of two skeins, just in case you decide you want to treat yourself to a shawl's worth...I'm going to bring back free shipping through Christmas, too, so use the code "STAPLE" for free shipping on orders over $25.
P.S. Has anyone seen the stamps?

I know where the stamps and staples are, but where the hell is the scotch tape?

Stamps are in my purse and the scotch tape is on the shelf, but where are the scissors for use with paper, not fabric?
Is there any added discount for writing the code en francais?
Har dee har har
Dude, I totally spun up the Wensleydale and the Falkland, and I am in LOVE. Once I ply it I'm posting pics.
Wow, I am truly not alone! Found the stamps, scissors and staples but has anyone found a way to have more than 24 hours in a 24 hour day? That would be so helpful.
