Golly. I guess I’ve been having a summer vacation! My last few posts are very brief, and I have stuff to show.

First of all, the Mariner’s game. Like I said on Friday, it was fun. The big screen that showed the Mariner up to bat had his name and number cross-stitched on the screen. I was going to take a picture, but waited too long, and after a few innings, it went back to the normal “sporty” graphics.

It was fun meeting and talking to other local bloggers that I mostly know online. I was recognized by people I didn’t know, mainly because they saw and recognized Cable-Eight. I saw The Mysterious K. (I know you’re jealous). I was hoping to get to see Susan, and fortunately, she sat right behind me. So we had a good chat. I’ve met her once, back in December, and I instantly liked her. She’s easy to talk to, and she blogs about her fish! (So there’s another thing we have in common. I really enjoy fish keeping and talking about it. I think Nate zoned out when I got going about Ilsa’s constipation issues and how I’m treating it).

Anyway, one of the coolest parts of the evening was when the Mariner Moose came to visit and started throwing balls of yarn at us.

This was what I saw moments before being beaned in the face with something black & silver, shiny, and eyelashy.

Not being a fan of eyelash in any form, I passed that one on. We did keep something pink and sparkly from Muench. I swear I took a picture of Nate holding it, but it isn’t in my camera. Don’t ask me where it went, and no, I wasn’t drinking. In fact, there were NO obnoxious drunk fans in the “knitter’s box”. That was nice. The other two games we’ve attended this year contained many of them, so I’ve experienced my fair share this season.

Finally, to top off the excitement of the evening, we took the bus home. I haven’t had much opportunity to experience public transportation since junior high school. It was fun.

I think that’s enough for today. I’ll spread things out a bit and make you think I’m doing more than sitting on my butt and ignoring the housework this week.
