I'm a lurker

Last week some time, I came around the corner of the hallway headed to our bedroom. That part of the hallway is dark and I didn't notice T standing there. So he scared me and I screamed in sort of a slow motion, exaggerated scream. I immediately started laughing, as did he.


I asked why he was just lurking in the hallway. He insisted that he wasn't. I insisted he was. We laughed and left it at that.


So this evening, I find myself lurking. But this time I'm lurking a yarn store online. One of my favorite yarn shops, featuring hand dyed yarns from a very nice lady in Detroit, was posting a shop update tonight. I made sure I was online at 7pm to see what she had to offer. And for the last hour, I've been hitting refresh every 30 seconds or so to see what she had to offer. I did purchase some things, although I lost out on a second skein of yarn that I was going to use for a gift. Apparently, things can be taken out of your cart before you actually purchase them on etsy.



Anyway, I made a purchase and one of the skeins will turn into a Christmas gift. The other, I'm not sure about. It was originally going to be a gift when I thought I had two skeins of it, but now I'm not sure.




I guess I'm the lurker now. Are you lurking somewhere online? Tell me where....

I'm a lurker. I just can't tell you where. It defeats the purpose of lurking.

Duh.

We had a lurker in our house over Memorial Day weekend. In fact, the cops came and arrested him. Saga to continue. It's not on the blog...B doesn't want to tell his parents for some reason. If he gives in, I'll post the details, otherwise, you'll have to call for the story.

Welcome to New Jersey Julie! You've had a NJ Lurker - you're "officially" one of us now! :-D

You are so sweet! What a privilege it is to be one of your favorite yarn shops. You've made my day.

Thank you.

P.S. Your yarn shipped yesterday, so you should receive it anytime now.
