SPA 2009

March 2, 2009 By Carole

Sharon and I decided on the way home that this was the best SPA ever. Of course, I think we say that every year! I guess that means that it just keeps getting better, though, and that’s okay by me.

We went up on Thursday this year and that was a really good decision. We had a whole extra day to spin, relax and just hang out. By Friday afternoon most of our friends had arrived and the party was in full swing! The rest of the weekend flew by, punctuated by uproarious laughter, excellent food, fine tequila, and lots of spinning.

I want you to know that I carried my camera around all weekend. And I never took a single photo. Talk about camnesia! I guess I was just having too much fun being in the moment to try and capture any particular moment. I did take one picture when I got home, though.

three-bobbins-full

This is the spinning I did over the weekend. Two bobbins of Crown Mountain Farm Sock Hop (from back in the Teyani days) and one bobbin of Foxfire Farm cashmere/silk. I told you I did a lot of spinning. Apparently it was all purple!

The rest of the weekend you’ll just have to imagine.

    I didn’t take all that many pics either, and didn’t get to just “hang” as much as I’d’ve liked… next year, next year… But you’re right, every year SPA seems better! I think it is because every year I know more people.

    Gorgeous spinning!

    I’m glad you had such a fun weekend! Your spinning is wonderful! You must not have been drinking the tequila while you were at your wheel. 🙂

  9. Amy says

    March 2, 2009 at 9:01 am

    Gorgeous! You got a whole lot more spinning done than I got knitting done. 🙂

  10. Nora says

    Your photo is wonderful, and good for you for just enjoying yourself! That’s what it’s all about.

    It was an awesome SPA! So many highlights- esp sipping tequila on the rocks with lime at the wheel. I need to get one of those cup holders for my wheel from Kelly R.

    Pretty singles. Plying today on your day off?

  12. Kate says

    March 2, 2009 at 10:31 am

    That photo, more than any other, makes me want to learn to spin. I mean it.

  13. Teyani says

    March 2, 2009 at 11:12 am

    So glad that you had a nice time (and that the snow waited until after SPA to arrive.)
    And I think that having camensia means that you must have been relacing and having fun 😉 Good for you – so well deserved.
    Lovely single btw!!

    It was a really great weekend! It was wonderful to see you again. I’ll be posting pictures soon.

    I know what you mean about the camera. I’ve had whole vacations where I have argued that I was more interested in enjoying the vacation than recording it. Of course, now that I blog, all bets are off. LOL!

  17. elizabeth says

    March 2, 2009 at 12:17 pm

    I’m that way about taking photos at events too – I’d rather be there enjoying myself in the moment than worrying with a camera!

    I miss the Teyani days!

  18. Chris says

    March 2, 2009 at 12:46 pm

    Impressive spinning!

  19. Donna says

    March 2, 2009 at 1:01 pm

    Oh god you sound like me! I never take pictures at those things. duh???? I think I just get caught up in the moment.

    I do love the purple – very purtttty. Sounds like you had a lovely time. And you got back before all this snow hit!

  20. Cookie says

    I need a spinning weekend like that. Gorgeous purples.

    Purple is the color of royalty, and it sounds like you had a royally good time!

  23. Danielle says

    March 2, 2009 at 2:34 pm

    Such a good weekend. I only wish I had enough time to hang out with all of my friends more. I like your idea about going up on Thursday night. I might have to do that next year!

  24. Hillary says

    March 2, 2009 at 2:53 pm

    I’m sure it was a blast and apparently productive too. Soooo jealous.

  25. JessaLu says

    March 2, 2009 at 2:57 pm

    Beautiful spinning :o) I didn’t take any pictures at my anti-spa get together on Saturday (hence the no post today, heh) Glad you had a good time!

  26. Lucia says

    March 2, 2009 at 3:47 pm

    I don’t have to imagine it! I’m glad you posted that picture, though, because I was having too much fun to notice what you were spinning. My bad, it’s gorgeous.

  27. deb says

    March 2, 2009 at 3:53 pm

    I “imagine” it was wonderful!

  28. Laurie says

    I agree. ANd I took no pictures either. My new batteries weren’t.
