Check it out!! I was just settling in to do some booooring reading this morning when the FedEx man came with a mysterious package from Minnesota (most cool people seem to be from Minnesota, in my experience) and look what was inside:
You done good, SP! I just about started to drool when I saw what was inside:
320 yards of Artfibers Origami, a "paper" ribbon yarn with a strand of bronze metallics (you know I love metallics!)
560 yards of Schaefer Yarns' Anne, THE SOFTEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL finger-weight handpainted superwash merino / mohair / nylon yarn! I adore this colorway, in fact, I was just scheming about how to dye some like this myself, and effort headed for certain failure. Probably this will go to either a couple of pairs of socks or a lightweight Clapotis.
A Pinocchio tape measure, straight off probably a one-year stint on my wishlist! I looooooove him!! I'm constantly struggling with my non-retractable tape measure, but I'd been waiting until some nice person got me this hilarious one. After all, Pinocchio is not the kind of thing one buys for oneself :). I adore him... honest!!!
All packaged in a cute-as-a-button vinyl purse, which I think my 5-year-old niece and I will be fighting over. She will win, she always does.
I'm lucky to have such a cool secret pal - thanks so much, SP!

Posted by: sara at March 4, 2005 4:27 PMHi Jessica!
I was just trying to find out when Darnell's documentary was going to be shown on TV and I ran into your website!
You never told me about it when we were working together. Anyway I would ask you how you were doing but I've read your blog and so I have a fair idea.
This Wednesday they showed the documentary at Northwestern and it was really good although, of course, not as exciting as having lived through it. They only show me a couple of times for a split second so I was happy about that (they must have listened to my not so subtle hints that I did not want to be on TV).Like somebody already told you, you and Monica have the longest appearances of all the students. You both look like serious, smart, concerned students.
Anyway, I hope to keep in touch more and I'll be reading your blogg to see what you are up to.
Marie
