Today was just crazy. I mean CRAZY! I had a whole bunch of deadlines- self-imposed and otherwise, and we had a great big lambcam FAIL, and I ran from one thing to the next like some kind of out-of-control robot zombie. And Erin was in Boston at the orthodontist. And I roasted a chicken.
Would I trade this asylum I’m living in for my old life producing network news pieces and shopping at Barney’s and eating at swanky Manhattan restaurants? Not for a sliver of a second. Not for a brazillion dollars and a Prius and a good night’s sleep. Not for the body and skin I had at 25.
I am happy. Busy, crazed, tired, cold, sore, cranky and stupid-happy.
I don’t want to bore you so here’s the CliffNotes version of my day:
1. Lambcam finally up and running. WIN!
2. Lambcam quickly overwhelmed by traffic. FAIL.
3. Redesign of new website goes live. WIN!
Although I am discouraged by the Lambcam situation I am not ready to admit defeat. We’re getting a new camera and having that lovely young man from the Geek Squad back on Sunday. Fingers crossed, everybody!
I did take some picture today for your viewing pleasure. We can’t have you looking for your lamb fix somewhere else, can we? No. We cannot.
Yesterday’s giveaway just about killed me. Thinking about corn on the cob. And tomatoes. And berries and figs and fresh basil and zucchini and rhubarb. Oh! And beans. I nearly cried just thinking about the beans.
The winners of the Fresh Food from Small Spaces giveaway is…
Congrats Sara, Barbara and RebeccaG! Send your shipping address to prizes@fiberfarmcsa.com to claim your prize.
I hadn’t planned anymore giveaways for this week, but then the lovely and charming PumpkinMama offered to donate some spinning fibers for a giveaway. An offer that I graciously accepted on your behalf. (Behalfs? Behalves?)
3.75oz of Ice Queen Rambouillet Top
Love the name and the colors.
Now, I’ve never made a secret of the fact that I can’t spin. It would literally be easier to teach a monkey pilot the space shuttle than teach me to spin. And usually, I’m cool with that. But this fiber makes me wish I wanted to spin, if that makes any sense.
Would you like to have this roving come live with you? All you have to do to enter is tell me your middle name in the comments on this post. Why your middle name? Because my brain is tired tonight. And because I might need to speak sternly to you one day, and that middle name will lend gravitas to what I’m saying.
All entries must be in by 8 a.m. tomorrow, January 31, 2009. One entry per person please! The winner will be chosen at random and posted here tomorrow night.
Good luck, ya’ll!

Middle name is Ann – Lisa Ann – just a few of us! LOL
My middle name is Rachel. I followed here from Ravelry.
My middle name is Megan. It was going to be Cheyenne, as in my dad wanted to name me Sequoia Cheyenne but when he was out of the room my mom told the birth certificate person that it would be Brittany Megan. At least, that’s the family lore around it!
Ann!
Love the fiber!
My middle name is Dominique. I was named entirely after my dad, Nicholas Dominic. When I was little I was less than thrilled with it, because it was difficult to spell and I didn’t know of any other names with a “q” in them. 
Another Ann.
Beautiful fiber!
Exquisite fiber. My middle name is Joyce and growing up my sister and I always knew when we were in trouble because my parents would use our first and middle names.
My middle name is Marie. I always wanted to be called Marie, but my parents wouldn’t do it. So we compromised and I go by KarenMarie
Middle name is Lynn.
Can’t wait to see the lamb cam!
My middle name is Ann. My mother gave me my first and middle name after my dad’s EX-girlfriend to always remind my father of the woman he never got. My mom is slightly nuts.
Sue
Case
My middle name is Michele- which i spelled incorrectly with 2 ‘L’s until i was in my 20′s. My sister has the same middle name- guess my parents were over it by then.
My middle name is Angela, so my whole family calls me Angie. Or Angelina, or Angelina Jollybeana.
Can’t wait to see your little lambs. Love that last picture with the two sheep with their heads togeather that’s just precious
My middle name is Ann, like many other people.
Like many others, my middle name is Ann.
My middle name is Dawn. I don’t know where it came from though. It was the 70′s, I guess!
My middle name is Ellen. Thanks for the adorable lamb pics.
Marie, also after my grandmother.
I don’t have a middle name! When I was about 20, my parents invited me over to their apt, because they had something serious to discuss: they felt terrible that they hadn’t given me a middle name, and having thought long and hard about it, had come up with some options for me to choose from. My mom offered “emmanuelle” and my dad… “slim.” I reckoned I’d lived that long without a middle name, that I’d keep it that way!
My middle name is Margaret. Nothing embarrassing, no good story. Just a nice middle name. Thanks Mom and Dad.
My middle name is Forrest. My grandfather was named for the actor Edwin Forrest, who was of roughly the era of John Wilkes Booth. So, I became Amy Forrest. I love it. I’ve never met another woman with that for a middle name.
Elizabeth…. and it was used mainly during serious stern moments as a small child.
Firstborn of 5 kids and the only one without a given middle name. At confirmation I was strongly urged to take Charlotte, after my grandmother. It finally grew on me.
Hi my middle name is Margaret after my grandmother who was nicknamed Peggy
HA!
