Coffee and Contemplation

Vanilla flavored sugar and heavy whipping cream make the perfect cup of coffee.

I won! Thank you, Katie.

I’ve switched to gmail. I’m having a little trouble adjusting to the “conversations” thing (if you use gmail, you know what I am talking about). In short, I hate it. I can get used to everything else, but smushing all my comments into one “thread” because they have the same subject is difficult to sort out. I can’t tell which responses belong to what! Or if I’ve responded at all.

But my emails don’t bounce so I’ve got that going for me.

Which is nice.

As near as I can tell I have responded to all the wonderful comments, suggestions and support regarding Dish Rag Tag. I’m not positive that I have, but gmail seems to be. If you didn’t get a response from me, this is what I would have written:

Dear So-And-So,
Thank you so much for your support and feedback! I’ve really been upset about the future of DRT and you have made me feel so much better about hosting the race this summer!
Much Love, Emily

The Official Plan is now a $1 fee for participation, I have to figure out what to do for non-PayPal users (it seems silly to waste a stamp on $1). Maybe they could just tuck it into the team’s box as it travels through? And then a “Bake Sale” to raise the prize money. Individual Merit Awards have been donated by participants the past two years, so we’ll stick with that! Every thing else should be business as usual.

Thank you so much one more time, I love being a part of this community and I love Dish Rag Tag! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a pattern to write.

Sheesh, Emily, two posts a day for the past two days! Chatty, aren’t you?

    I have a Gmail account but I never use it because I hate that conversation thing. If the subjects are close to being the same, they get combined into one big email. Then I can’t find anything.

    I am so happy that you are feeling positive about DRT! Your faithful Taggers are very appreciative, and looking forward to it!

    Oh yes dish rag tag talk again. I can hardly wait. This year I am not having a knitting vacation so can be a captain and will happily have something to contribute. Emily if you will email me your new address I have an idea to tell you about in the way of prizes.

    Sounds like I have my coffee. I put caramel syrup, a little bit of vanilla syrup, half and half and whipped cream. Deadly, but cheaper than Starbucks!

    Dear Emily
    I so look forward to DRT this year, last year being my first time, it was great fun. One dollar or Five dollars either one would be fine I think, just for the fun of doing the tag. I do hope by changing mail handlers that you don’t loose all your friends list. I always look forward to reading about what you are doing and your sweet baby. She sure is growing fast. Love the white sweater. Keep working on the spread, my least favorite thing would be putting all those squares together. Until later Keep Knitting. Barbara

    hmmm, tea for me in the morning not coffee

    I found you via Leah, at Yarn Ends (blogspot)
    hope you don’t mind if I shamelessly promote my latest blog post which is shamelessly promoting a new crafty charity project – please read it and if you feel able help advertise (or contribute in any other way) that would be FAB

    took me forever to get used to the conversation thing! I did eventually though.

    Did you make your vanilla sugar? I was recently reading to put some vanilla beans in the sugar to make some (the directions came with a triple vanilla cupcake recipe). I’m thinking that sounds fabulous for coffee!! With cream fresh from the cow…oh yeah…wishing I had some RIGHT NOW!! hmm…might have to look back at the amounts and make some vanilla sugar so I can have some in a few days too. Thanks for the idea emily!
