No Rest for the Weary

So... I'm finally rid of my psychotic ex-roommate, when what happens? My psychotic ex-roommate's psychotic ex-boyfriend decides to stalk and harass me online because apparently he has nothing more interesting to do. Pretty sad. Have I provoked this? I don't think so. Do my readers know my identity? Probably not, so... if you don't know me and I've never put a name to 'the psychotic roommate', then who gives a flying fuck what I say here?! I could say that the sky is purple and I love eating rocks, but who cares. Grow up and get a freaking life and stay out of mine. Really... if I am all you have to focus on for the day then I suggest you seek some serious help because honestly... I'm not interested in having a stalker.

The Drooling MUST Come To An End

Seriously... the drooling. It began about a month ago. I started waking up with wet spots (no snickering!) on my pillow, then waking up in the middle of the night with my face in a puddle of drool. So much, in fact, that I actually had to turn my pillow over. And of course anyone who knows me knows that sometimes I sleep sitting up because it's easier to breathe. Gravity is a bitch. What happens then? The drool rolls down my chin and onto my chest. Example:

Well... some casual drooling is no big deal, right? Everybody gets their drool on now and then. However... excessive drooling is no laughing matter my friends, and that is what I seem to be up against. Why? How? Why me?!!!

I don't understand how one day you can be just the normal person walking down the street and the next day you're someone who needs to go to Drooler's Anonymous. Seriously, this is ridiculous. The other day I woke up from a doze on the couch to find that I had soaked through not only the fleece sweater I was wearing, but also the shirt underneath was glued to my chest and dried slobber was on my chin. Too sexy for words, I know.

Here is today's work of art:

Really?! What is going on here? Honestly... if anybody has any tips I would love to hear them. Maybe I should set up a collection tube from my mouth and start packaging the drool to sell on eBay. People will buy anything. I'll say it's Elvis spit and sell it for $50 a teaspoon. FML

Stumble, Stumble, Stumble...

Hello. My name is Sarah and I am a StumbleUpon addict. I spend hours at a time wandering aimlessly across the web in hopes of finding interesting sites. What is StumbleUpon? It is a toolbar that you download for your internet browser. This toolbar allows you to choose a category of websites to peruse, or... just hit STUMBLE and go to a random page. You can save favorite pages, forward them to your friends, like/dislike pages, etc. I highly recommend this for anyone with trouble sleeping at night or a lot of time on their hands. If you are interested, go to www.stumbleupon.com.

The links below are just a sampling of the awesomeness that I have found using StumbleUpon. Enjoy!

My 15 Minutes of Fame

Well I have started this little community group called the Salem Crochet Clique. During our very first meeting, which consisted of myself and 3 friends, we were pleasantly surprised by the arrival of the Statesman Journal. They wanted to interview and photograph us for display in the Sunday paper. Since that article appeared about 3 weeks ago, my little facebook group has climbed from 6 members to over 40. I get calls from people at least twice a week, and it's just crazy! So... this experience has motivated me to get off my butt and keep a proper blog, which I am now choosing to dedicate to mostly crochet and other crafty things that keep me busy. If you like that, good for you! If not... I don't care. So there.

So... to kick things off, this is a photo of the blanket that I have started.
I usually make things like scarves and hats because they are instant gratification sorts of items, but... I have always wanted to make a blanket and I think I finally have the motivation to see this one through. So wish me luck!

Here is a link to the Statesman Journal article.
