more yarn
yesterday i was greeted with yet another surprise! well technically it wasn't a surprise, i just had forgotten it was coming! lucky me, i won a blogiversary gift from from jill. i never win anything, i was so excited! look at the goodies!
a skein of manos in the greatest pink, some burt's bees lotion (i heart burt's bees) and a noni flower pattern (can't wait to try this one out, maybe this weekend!). thank you so much jill, i love it!
i also received some new yarn for my stash from my parents. they made a trip down to california last week. they went to knitting by the sea in carmel and picked me up 2 skeins of noro iro, 2 skeins of noro big kureyon and a skein of mountain colors yarn.
i'll have to do more of a comparison, but so far, the big kureyon doesn't look that much bigger than the normal. the mountain colors is destined for a pair of socks i think. i love the bright colors!
and to feed my chocolate obsession my mom bought me some other goodies
scharffen berger cocoa, yum, the best! and some chocolate raspberry sauce from the firestone winery. i am thinking of using the sauce for a martini drink. i have some ideas in my head, i'll let you know what i come up with.
thanks for sharing your mcdreamys. i had a good time reading your comments! and it is funny, i agree with most of them! oh and somebody mentioned anderson cooper, i totally forgot him. i heart anderson.

What a good week for you! I am drooling over your new manos. I have a love affair with the stuff!
that is some LOVELY manos!!!!!
that was me who has it for anderson cooper...thank the lord i am not alone. he's such a little skinny man tho. it MUST be that white/gray hair thing!
i do some charity knitting and i got to knit with manos for an afghan square they wanted me to make. it is wonderful.
can your parents adopt me? it would never occur to them (even my mother who taught me everything i know) to buy me yarn.
Oh! I totally forgot about Anderson Cooper. Yeah, he's dreamy! (though I can't say I have a crush, currently my crush is on my boyfriend!)
NICE yarn and chocolate porn! Love it all!
what great treats you got gifted with this week! I finally got my noni patterns in the mail this weekend and I cannot WAIT to start on the large carpet bag and camelia flowers!! but I'll have to. lol. I don't have enough yarn, nor the right colors, nor needles. and I'm doing the use what you have thing. bah.
anyway, what nice yarn and burt's bees and more yarn from your parents and chocolate!! congrats on all the lovely things!

Oh my god! Your Strange Little Mama socks totally rock!! I love that colorway. I rarely keep my yarn for me, but that was an exception!! All your goodies are great! MMM, chocolate...
I had to comment on the Burt's Bees and say that I simply live by the lip balm. Oh my goodness I love it.
You get great mail! Yummy all around!
Hi Amy. I was looking at those Noni patterns several weeks ago and thinking they were pretty cute. I can't wait to hear a review.
Hey! Thanks for the sweet thank you note! I need some of those...they are gorgeous! :)
