Yarn Porn!!!

I have been a BAD BAD girl... Yup, been travelling a lot over the last couple of months... Also been a few sales at a couple of sites and some new stuff I have wanted to try... So, my stash has expanded quite a bit recently...

Here goes: (From lower left corner across:) Opal silk (blue), Lana Grossa (multi color), Opal silk (yellow, green and pink) Lana grossa stripe (blues), More lana grossa (purple and grey), sock landscape (Reds and purples), sock garden (pastels), Color your own (white), sock garden (purples), Lana grossa (purple colors), Jawoll (black and natural), Koigu (blues and purples), Lorna's Laces (purples), Pallette (black), Simple stripes (purple, green, blue), Mama E's C'eye'ber Fiber in Scout color (purples and blues), Koigu (purples and pinks), more Koigu (purples), Lana Grossa (purples and pinks), more Lana Grossa (reds and greens), Artful Yarn (blues) and Claudia Hand Painted Yarn (baby blue)... And no, this isn't the end of it... I have my LAST package at the post office that DH will be picking up in the morning that came over from Germany... Yup, you guessed it, more sock yarn... I got a good deal on E-bay where I picked up the Opal Petticoat collection (8 colors) and the Opal Acapulco collection (8 colors) for $10.00 per 100g ball... Shipping wasn't really all that expensive, so I saved a few bucks... Guess what that means... I have now put myself on a sock yarn diet... BIG TIME... I need to tear through my stash before I can buy any more sock yarn... I have the next 4 or 5 projects planned out, so that should help... (No, the diet does NOT include the Socks That Rock club, that has already been purchased... LOL! Along with the one other sock club I belong to...) The yarn diet does not include a project other than Socks and sweaters...

Man, I have been a total, absolute, incredible BEE-OTCH today... I don't usually get cranky during my monthly celebration, but this time, I am not a good person to be around... I think it is a combination of hormones and the fact that my body has learned to metabolize my ADD meds (again...) and they don't work any more... I talked to the Dr. about upping the dose (again) so I only have another day or two on this present dose. The way it is working, I am better off not taking anything at all... I am completely absent minded, easily frustrated, unable to remember things, easily distracted, and REALLY FRUSTRATED!!! When I take the meds, I can concentrate... It is really frustrating to know how the meds are supposed to work and wonder at 10 am if I even took my meds at 7am... I feel like all I am doing is pounding my head into a wall... And the fact that I am currently having a major excursion at work and I can't concentrate and details are falling through the cracks doesn't help much, either... Yup, I am unmedicated and rambling again...
