I was about to show off my newly-cleaned office when I found this pic on the camera. Clearly Sam enjoyed the boxes much more than I enjoyed packing up 3/4 of my book collection. (There are more boxes down the hallway…I have a lot of books).

To Jan: first of all, do you have a blog and can I add you to my sidebar under “people who read me”? Secondly, if you like sci-fi…or fairy tales…or just a hell of a good intrigue…I WHOLEHEARTEDLY recommend the Artemis Fowl series by Eoin Colfer. I’ve been listening to them on audio from the library. #1- Artemis Fowl. #2- Artemis Fowl: the Arctic Incident. #3- Artemis Fowl: the Eternity Code. Found out a few weeks ago that there was a 4th in the series, Artemis Fowl: the Opal Deception. Finished it tonight on my way home. Nearly cried. Not that it was sad…I had missed the characters so much that I was punching the air with excitement when the new book started. Now I’m sad all over again that it’s over. I don’t know how to describe these books and really don’t want to spoil anything, but I guarantee if you like a good story, a good plot, a little fantasy or sci-fi and characters you will love, check this series out! The author describes it as “Die Hard” with fairies…and he’s not far off! Really, really good stuff.

In any case, the reason for this yarn porn and trunk excavation is that because Yannick is out for the night, I have decided to spend my Saturday night cleaning up my office. Considering the fact that most of the clutter is yarn, and I refuse to get rid of any of said yarn, it comes down to the fact that I don’t have enough yarn storage space. Hence the trunk emptying. It was that or go out and buy storage boxes, and I already have the trunk. It will take some creative finagling with my office since the astute ones of you will note that there is no room in my office for a 3ft wide trunk, but I’ve got all night to come up with something…

…can it really be angora? Really? On the other side of the label is Hebrew writing that proclaims this yarn as 88% something and 22% something else. I tried taking a pic but don’t know how to get good closeup shots with our digital camera yet so nothing came out. Has anyone ever heard of this stuff? Any ideas?
