With the videocast that we do weekly, I tend to get lazy and just tell myself that I&#8217;ll catch y&#8217;all up during the next episode, but that doesn&#8217;t always happen.  So here are some little pieces of my life that don&#8217;t really fit as podcast segments.<\/p>\n<p>First, you guys may or may not remember that Laura &#038; I (along with Mr. Awesome, Junior Awesome, and another couple with their four[4!!!!] children) went on a little vacation to Jasper, AR.  This is how most of the drive went for our dear friend Lala:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4146\/4839860682_0fcb44aaa3.jpg\" title=\"Laura Nodding Off\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In her defense, Michael&#8217;s mountain driving can be a little carsick-inducing, so sleeping seemed to ease her suffering.  (She looks like she&#8217;s suffering, doesn&#8217;t she?)  She&#8217;s totally going to kick my ass for posting this, BTW, so I hope y&#8217;all appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p>This is how I refrained from gagging the <b>very loud<\/b> children (which included my own):<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4090\/4839249097_5ba60124a7.jpg\" title=\"Mikes\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is what kept Junior Awesome busy much of the weekend.  He&#8217;s obviously plotting Kayla&#8217;s defeat here:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4124\/4839861194_2fe2cf08aa.jpg\" title=\"Chess\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, I present you with a horrifically awful picture of TheKnitGirllls from Saturday night.  It was our last night at the cabin and I was winding in ends on Laura&#8217;s Log Cabin as she was binding off.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4128\/4839249541_21d7dd7501.jpg\" title=\"Awful photo\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s probably one of my least favorite photos of us ever, but it was the only one of us together on the trip.  <\/p>\n<p>Finally we got home, I did laundry, and Mr. Awesome did dishes.  Note the instructions on the container:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4103\/4839861562_6f586b06ab.jpg\" title=\"dishwasher\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Needless to say, the instructions were largely unnoticed until I unloaded the dishwasher.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4147\/4839861684_78f819c1be.jpg\" title=\"mangled container\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"333\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, our cheap little container has bitten the dust.  Perhaps I&#8217;ll find an alternative use for it that doesn&#8217;t require a lid being screwed on it.  Ideas?  Funky flower vase?  Change Jar?<\/p>\n<p>Not all was lost, I still have my rockstar mug hook system from Ikea that I don&#8217;t think I ever showed y&#8217;all.  Please ignore the fact that my kitchen is not magazine-clean, it is lived in.  Also, the walls are a horrid, horrid orange that I need to repaint ASAP.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4091\/4839250191_b31db7a3fd.jpg\" title=\"Mugs\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I have finally started spinning the fiber that I dyed at Stacy&#8217;s house a couple of weeks ago.  I am not having to do very much predrafting, and it&#8217;s spinning as a lace single.  I plan on either 2 plying or navajo plying depending on how much yardage I get.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4087\/4839251575_d949a7565a.jpg\" title=\"Spinning\" class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m VERY glad Stacy kept me from making it all uniform when dyeing, because it&#8217;s allowing it to pink up in spots and really helping to give it some interest.  (Stacy&#8217;s the best!)<\/p>\n<p>So there you go, my July in Pictures.
