Let the Temptation Begin ...

So one of my first thoughts this morning, the first morning of the SoS, was how am I going to get that skein of silk yarn for my mom's b-day present in August? I was panic-stricken. Does the SoS start today? Or is it between the holidays? ... thus making tomorrow the first day and today a sort of Fat Monday for Yarn Lent ...

I worried about this for a while, worried about which yarn store would be open today, worried about why I was taking this all so seriously, when it hit me -- my exceptions! I could buy my mother's yarn during our trip to the Northwest! Hurray, souvenir yarn and birthday present rolled into one, problem solved!

This is going to be a long summer I fear ...
