Maybe after months of visualization and hypnosis I can do this. The funny thing is, most of the time I will not let something like this defeat me. I make myself do it. I can do it right?

Would you at least post it on the knitting conference?? <br /><br />For the record, I have driven on ferries before. The first time was in my dad's car and they squished me down the side and my side mirror hit a pole. The next time, I was in my f-i-l's truck, and they put me on a hill, and I was so paranoid it was going to roll back (even though it was an automatic) so as the line started moving in front of me, I gently pushed the gas and the truck wouldn't move. Panic, panic! So I pushed harder on the gas and the truck revved up but still didn't move!!! Oh no, what was going on !!!!!! I thought. Then I put it into drive (oops!) and it drove forward. I don't know why ferries do this to me. It's madness!<br /><br />However, we are talking about (at some point) moving to an island so it would be really great for me to get over this little issue... or else I could stow away in Shelly's trunk ;-)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844057739575974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-66347401005128834742009-09-10T22:33:36.088-07:002009-09-10T22:33:36.088-07:00Shelly!

I thought for sure me lounging on the edge of that armchair with my hair tossed so casually over my shoulder, continually letting loose my silvery laugh would have given it away, but I see I had you caught in my web of Tomfoolery...ha ha.<br /><br />I'm glad you find driving on the ferry easy. It's a big ferry, Samantha. Big lanes. Lots of room. Nice staff guiding you along. Clean well lit stairways. Vending machines along the way, even. I'll even buy you a Hello magazine to take your mind off the stress of it all. And there will be a reassuring, soothing latté when you get off on the other side. Just watch out for Rebecca's dog...sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-56340214105471532852009-09-10T20:08:08.619-07:002009-09-10T20:08:08.619-07:00OK Ladies.

And no, Sheila, I never thought of sneaking my cell phone out to snap a secret photo. (note to self: take cell phone to Sheila's next visit) Driving on the ferry is super easy. Maybe the next time I come down, you'll have to just come with me and we'll both go to Sheila's for latte. She makes a great one. 3 hours flew by and we both suddenly realized that we had to be somewhere else.

And I think I harbor secret ambitions to decorate strange cakes. And look for weird 'wizard fonts' on the internet. There's a thrill in the oddball for me.<br /><br />But you know, I think some of this stems from us never having 'invite 10 friends for pizza and a movie' birthday parties. Those kind of parties incite a certain panic in me. I've always avoided them and while my kids never say anything, I've wondered if they wish I did them more. So I make sure their family party has elements of those other kinds of parties: crazy cake, fun trappings, etc.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-22586097960735474172009-09-09T22:44:33.850-07:002009-09-09T22:44:33.850-07:00Sheila!

And Shelly said that you are REALLY cute IRL, no matter what you say, so there. Somehow, after seeing your wedding picture, I suspected as much. And no, I don't THINK she got any shots, although her daughter followed us around with an iPod touch so STEEL yourself. If I have bat wings they aren't mine!<br /><br />We're hard on ourselves because we are hardwired for it, I think. It's an evolutionary tic. I'm not sure why else - Shelly and I did discuss the whole Hag Girl in School thing and we came away none the wiser.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-69522609012886465712009-09-09T20:05:50.445-07:002009-09-09T20:05:50.445-07:00Sarah, thankyou!

I ordered in a couple of guidebooks from your area so I can start mentally planning a trip down in my head. I even got a book that gives a walking tour of the area. I'm very ambitious. ;-) Then I'll just need to balls to drive onto the ferry - oh, and the money but that's small beans compared to the ferry .<br /><br />Maybe I should send you a photo of what I really look like. My wedding photo is muy deceiving and it was the ONLY wedding photo that I liked (possibly because it didn't look like me)<br /><br />Why are we so hard on ourselves eh? :-)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12436844057739575974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-87981597731878796332009-09-09T19:13:21.789-07:002009-09-09T19:13:21.789-07:00Heather, you MUST enter next year.

Even better, my parents were so thrilled. It's something they can relate to. It's a tradition I can deal with.<br /><br />And Samantha my DAHLING, I wore that dress today JUST FOR YOU and Shelly saw me wearing it AND I told her why I was wearing it and to be SURE to tell you what it looked like (unless it looked really dorky and then she was to tell you that I looked really hot). Because I am big and fat and unphotogenic and so can only really exist in your imagination.sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11005397694258169964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5273424096377011014.post-12492777579434777482009-09-09T06:59:14.652-07:002009-09-09T06:59:14.652-07:00Why not a photo of you modeling the dress?

I have a dress made out of fabric that looks quite similar except the grass is thinner and there are butterflies, bees and dragonflies.

I ...I love that you entered preserves in the fair. I sometimes wonder if that is one of those things that will begin to dwindle as the older people who have always preserved things pass on. There just doesn't seem to be as many people who can things anymore. Anyway, it makes me sad and so I am always pleased to hear of people entering and carrying on the tradition, you know? Last year the boys and I were talking about entering but then we moved and that was the end of that plan. Next year! ;-)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.com
