Happy Birthday??

So for my birthday last month, my hubby asks me what I want to do. I tell him, I found this awesome looking shop online that is local and I want to go see it and buy some cool sock yarn. So in a blizzard warning, we set off to see the shop. I walk in the door, and can barely breath.... there, upon the walls, is shelf after shelf of the most beautiful yarns I have ever seen.... (darn why did I have to have him with me!) I will have to summon the self control goddess and have her hold me back!! The shop is very nice, with the most helpful women that answer my questions and help me pick out yarn for a project I had seen on their site. Oh, but wait! I wanted to get sock yarn!! They gladly show me the sock yarns and I see it and want it all!!! Summoning the goddess once again, I pick out 2 skeins.. no wait, make that 3 skeins, that will be enough to get me 2 pairs of socks when I am ready to go for it. Dang it, the scarf I want to make isn't a tear off sheet (like the local craft stores) it's in a book! OOoohhhh BOOKS!!! I'll take Scarf style, and omg.. what is that wrap hanging there?? It's fantabulous!! Can I get the pattern and (sneaking a peek at the hubby...) I'll need yarn to make that too!! I walk out of the shop with bags of yarn and books to create the most beautiful things. On the drive home, I have my hands in the bags..... the yarn is so beautiful and soft... I can't wait to get my needles and cast on everything!!!
Exhausted from this trip to the wondrous yarn shop, I take a nap (post surgery does that) and when I wake up my yarn is MIA!!! "Where is my yarn at??!!!!" I ask.... And then the words come from my dh (dear/darn/da*#) hubby... oh, I wrapped it for Christmas.... it is your Christmas present right??

Happy Birthday to me.....

That is so mean! My husband knows better than to touch my yarn for any reason whatsoever! Next time you come the Shop, bring your husband and I'll try to ever so delicately explain to him that yarn is supposed to wound, not wrapped and must be accessible at all times, preferably IMMEDIATELY upon purchase! See you again very soon. Tricia
