Concerns

So, I went to a birthday party on Saturday for our friends' daughters, twins.  I had a lady that I don't know tell me she was taking a picture of my children because they are just so neat (or some such thing).  I was so stunned by her moxie that I couldn't say anything at the time.  I looked at my husband and declared that I really hate when someone thinks they can just do that.  I mean why?  I ALMOST told her then I'd like to take a picture of her kids, just to see what the response would be.  I didn't.  I regretted my lack of response, mentioned it to a friend at work, who came up with a phrase I intend to use next time: "I'd rather you not" or "I'd rather you didn't.  I'm just funny about their privacy."  I like that.  I'll try to use that.  Now I'm having to ask my friend to give me the lady's information to contact her.  But, she has taken it on and told me that she would talk to her since her daughter is in the s...

What I was trying to say was: so my Verizon contract is up later this year and I'm debating Blackberry vs. iPhone.  I think I like the fact that the Blackberry has a keyboard and seem to have trouble with the accuracy and speed of a touchscreen for text/email.  BUT, love the iPhone geekery!!!  Come on, it appeals to the engineer side of my brain....

New yarn and bad news

I got 2 skeins of yarn at a LYS (in a neighboring town) that I hadn't been to before today. Very exciting! I talked to the owner and a patron who works in a yarn shop about 1.5 hours from us. We talked about Stitches South coming up in April in Atlanta. I had heard of it from the NeverNotKnitting podcast recently- she attended Stitches West. I am thinking about trying to attend but that coincides with the kids' spring break and the in-laws' visit. Maybe I can get MIL to come with??? She crickets, so I'm hoping maybe I can entice her to get some yarn before her 3 month vaca in Alaska- she'll need some to take with her, right?!!? I'm hoping anyway... The bad news was the lady from whose farm the alpaca yarn came from just passed away suddenly about 6 months ago. I had known her when I was considering starting to raise alpacas and visited her farm. She and I hit it off and realized that we shared our birth date! Well, she used to bring a couple of her al...
