I couldn't go to Salt Lake, so Mahhgene wrote me that she was sending me my booby prize for not being able to make it. I had no idea she was being literal.
New gymwear.
I...can't....stop....laughing.
PRECIOUS QUOTE FROM ANNE: Now she will just have to work on her innocent expression and the tone in her blog voice when she says things like "I just have NO idea why all these men keep coming up to me in the gym. NO idea!!!" blink-blink...batting of blondesque eyelashes......
My friends. I'm totally keepin' 'em. Even if they are evil, they keep me sane. And I'll be wicked easy to spot at all future fiber festivals. I'll be the one clearly labeled.
Awesome.
Oy.
...and the best sentiment was on the card: If today were perfect, there'd be no need for tomorrow.
Amen to that.

PREVIEW OF COMING ATTRACTIONS:
Ribbed, for her pleasure.
Love it!!

*snigger* That Margene must know you pretty well. :-) I'm assuming that's not a Mormon-owned bidness.

Only you could pull that Tee off Norma :)

Ribbed for her pleasure - oh god its only 6 am and I have already pissed myself. LOVE the shirt. St. A look out!
Posted by: ann | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 06:14 AM

Posted by: maryse | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 06:47 AM
Yeah, and I think you're going to find that size matters, too.
; )

I brought one of those shirts home to Sharon after my last trip. I think she's afraid to wear it!
Posted by: Carole | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 07:08 AM
That shirt was made for you Norma....MADE for you;-)
Posted by: margene | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 07:23 AM
My dogs are all whining because of the blast of laugh that just burst out of me. That is so fun! And so perfect.
Posted by: Chris | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 08:06 AM
HA! HA! HA! Perfect! You'll be stylin' at the gym and everywhere else!

The google hits you'll get now....

Wow, those people in SL,UT sure are...progressive.
Posted by: Dave Daniels | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 09:29 AM
OMG, that has to be the best shirt ever. You may not be able to buy happiness, but you sure can buy laughter.
Posted by: Carrie | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 09:58 AM
"My friends. I'm totally keepin' 'em."
Is this a euphemism? Like "The twins"?
Posted by: Anne | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 10:21 AM
I love it! I don't think I'd have the kahoonas to wear it in public, but I'm sure you can pull it off beautifully.
Posted by: Elisabeth | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 10:25 AM
And by "pull it off" I meant "accomplish" not, you know, "undress."
Posted by: Elisabeth | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 10:27 AM
That is one very fabulous t-shirt! Wear it proudly, dear :^)
Mmmm, I'm really lovin' that big button.... and the ribbing...
Posted by: marianne | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 10:28 AM
VavaVoom! Good to see you representin' my hiz-ouse :D
Posted by: Miriam | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 10:37 AM
Good Lord....
Posted by: Abi | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 10:54 AM
Ha! (which was my exact reaction when I saw the photo) Great shirt, great friend!
Posted by: Faith | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 10:58 AM
Good freaking God... I love your blog! Fabu T-shirt (Margene has such good taste) and that biggest button is gawgeous!
Posted by: Marty52 | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 11:01 AM
Totally teriffic T, bodacious buttons, and "ribbed for her pleasure?" I've never actually seen one of those, so I am quite interested in seeing how it turns out. Which way does the ribbing run?

If you ever plan a trip to Seattle, we have a t-shirt to add to your gym gear. http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/thebigblog/archives/127177.asp
Posted by: Visionsister | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 11:22 AM
That is a great shirt!
I tend to wear my old race shirts to the gym. I don't do that many races, but it still manages to give me about 6 new shirts a year (mostly bigger though I have some of the runners tech shirts now too). I can't wait until January when my gym membership restarts!
Posted by: Seanna Lea | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 11:37 AM
My college-age stepdaughter will be visiting Salt Lake in January. No way am I buying her one of those as a souvenir...
Posted by: Cheryl S. | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 12:28 PM
Geez, Norma, that shirt has my name all over it.
Posted by: jodi | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 12:42 PM
I just hurt myself laughing and it's your fault.
Posted by: Cookie | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 01:00 PM
In Seattle they renamed the South Lake Union Trolley to a streetcar, just to avoid t-shirts similar to that. (The renaming just made more people think about it.) I had not ever thought about Salt Lake in that regard!
Posted by: PICAdrienne | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 03:18 PM
And you wear it so well! [g]
Hmm. That got me to wondering about our local events. For some odd reason, the Portland Naked Bike Ride doesn't seem to have T-shirts for sale...
Posted by: MonicaPDX | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 04:34 PM
LOL! Love the shirt! Wish I could wear one...mine says "Built for comfort, not speed!" :-)
Posted by: Kate/Massachusetts | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 06:28 PM
Oh, lord, that's hilarious....
Posted by: --Deb | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 06:30 PM
LOVE that shirt!! You look hot! I'd wipe your sweaty brow. :)
Posted by: Kathleen | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 07:33 PM
Hehehe! I love that t-shirt, so clever. You only thought you were getting looks at the gym.
Posted by: Wanda | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 08:20 PM
That shirt is the BOMB!
Posted by: scoutj | Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 10:31 PM
Looks like most folks have commented on this one, just wanted to add... as far as I know there's only one 'Tulsa', right? and Tulsa spelled backward? yep. need to come up with a T-shirt for that...
