In case you don’t know who Joan Crawford is, her oldest daughter published a book containing allegations that Crawford was emotionally and physically abusive to her two oldest kids.

Don’t get your hopes up that Mark Wahlberg is going to be shirtless at some point. You’ll be disappointed.

Some young women (under 25) may see this film and not appreciate the humor. I heard, “Well, that was a stupid movie.” from one girl after the movie. The Husband pointed out that she was probably too young to get a lot of the jokes. I think young men will enjoy the fart jokes and physical humor enough to gloss over any well-written jokes they don’t get (think 80’s).

Overall, if you’re looking for an adult comedy about the relationship between a guy, his girl, and his teddy bear, I thought it was a whole lot better than it had to be.

I recently visited Gauge with my friend Sam. We were in the market to get her some dpns (double pointed needles) for her to knit socks. Yes, I’m infecting people around me.
Now, I’ve been admiring Dizzy Lettuce yarn for at least a year now and what do you know, we ran into Jennifer Miller! She’s the genius behind Dizzy Lettuce yarn! Yes, I discovered it was her when once again, I was chatting up a random lady in a yarn shop. If it keeps paying off, I’m going to keep doing it; she was super nice! She agreed to autograph the yarn I just HAD to buy (humor me) and pose for pictures. This one is my favorite.

One of my knitting friends noted that I seem to have turned into a real knitting groupie. But, here’s the yarn – see if you can resist the spell – the pink yarn has glittery silver thread in it for Pete’s sake! and look at the depth of color in the lichen! I had no choice but to take it home with me and be a huge fan!

Ps. It might seem like I suddenly started purchasing a lot of yarn, but I tell myself, it’s ok because after all, I didn’t buy any yarn in May, so surely the stash is at a fine level. right?

So, I seem to have gotten sucked into checking out all kinds of Sea Cell projects on ravelry and more of the lovely ravelers were kind enough to let me share more pics!

Is there a Sea Cell anonymous meeting somewhere I can attend?

See what I mean? Gorgeous!
