Green Ink!

I love my knit tribe.  I know I have said that before, but it is true.  One night I was trapped in a commercial for Ink Joy pens. I noticed that green was a one of the ink colors.  I tweeted I had to have some of those green pens.  Like magic, one of my knit tribe shows up with four green Ink Joy pens for me.  She apparently had a surplus of colored ink pens.  Thank you, Kara, and thank you knit tribe for being so awesome.

Many Shades of Green

I love my wife, you know I do.  However, relationships take time and work.  After almost 25 years together (though that number is the sum of a very complicated word problem) I recognize the ebb and flow of a relationship is not the same today as it was 10 years ago, or for that matter last week.  Some days, I admit I love Natalie more then I do other days.  I am sure it is the same for her. 

Lately, things have been good between us.  As I have alluded to before, it has been an emotional and stressful summer.  Natalie has been my rock helping and supporting me through the tempest.  I am lucky to have someone I love by my side.  I know you, my friends, are about to the gag from the mush.  Well hold on it is going to get even more sickening.

Friday, I told her I loved her more than the color green.  I love the color green, you know I do.  My wife knows it too and said, she did not believe I would love her that much.  I said of course I did because there were many shades of green and I loved her more than most of those shades.

I have told her I have love her more than: forest, kelly, ever, Dartmouth, hunter, fern, Persian, John Deere, spring, day glo, money, and institutional green.  I love her more than teal, asparagus, melon, celery, olive drab, emerald, spruce, pond scum, and lunar tide.  Tomorrow I will tell her I love her more then celadon, army green, jade, and plain olive.  I am holding out chartreuse, lime, granny smith, harlequin, girl scout green, and avocado for really special moments because those are some of my favorite shades of green. 

As you can see I am running out of shades of green.  So my friends, I need more shades of green to tell my wife I love her more than.  Any suggestions would be appreciated because I really do love my wife, you know I do.

Greener

If you know me, you know I love the color green. I don't know what it is about green, but when I see something in that color I like it a little more than if it was say, blue. I feel like I might be on to something because think of the things that are green, money, grass, limes, asparagus, good arts and crafts pottery.

Also with my auburn hair I look good in green. Even my mother agrees the hue suits me. I am so ga-ga for green I want everyone to wear green to my funereal (talk about being self-absorbed).

Anyway, I am trying to inventory my yarn on my ravelry account. I am doing it a little at a time, but I have notice there is a significant amount of green yarn. Yarn of all kinds of fiber, weight, and amounts. I could truly have a dedicated green yarn stash bin.

I admit I have a problem. If there was a twelve step program for people obsessed with green I think my friend would do an intervention, but I know it wouldn't stick. But on the other hand no one is ever in doubt as to what color to get me of anything. I still dream about someone giving me a bottle green prius, but it has yet to show up in my driveway.

Happily I just received a new skein 0f sock yarn, because well I just don't have enough green sock yarn. It came from a yarn shop in Alexandria called, Knit Happens. The lovely yarn is pictured above. I had kind of icky week, so the green yarn made my week less icky. Of course this means I will have to knit more socks.
