Please do that VOODOO that you do so well!
A month or two ago I asked for some good wishes. I was pretty selfish about it because I didn't tell you WHY I wanted good wishes, just that I needed some. Today, I'm back again. Even though I've been a pretty shitty blogger as of late and an even worse knitter, I hope you're still out there and can spare me a "Hope that Cara has a good day today!" kind of thing.
I'm not pregnant, there is no book, but it turns out that today might be one of the most important days of my life. How's that for tweaking your interest and not saying anything? I know I'm being terribly selfish and I promise that one day soon I will tell you everything. It's killing me not to say, but it's best for my sanity to try to remain quiet.
Thank you so much. I really can feel the love out there, no matter how corny it sounds. I hope to do a lot of knitting this weekend so I have something to show you on Monday and regular blogging will resume as well. I miss the blogging almost as much as the knitting.

Have a fabulous weekend! And thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!

Cara - I think I can speak for the majority of your readers when I say you can't get rid of us that easily!
Sending lots of great vibes your way today!

Hey Cara, I'll definitely be sending good thoughts and energy your way! May I be so bold as to ask for a little positive energy trade? I just asked for some, too, yesterday (http://alittleloopy.blogspot.com/2007/07/i-cant-think-of-appropriate-title-will.html)
Take care!
Posted by: Nonnahs at July 6, 2007 10:21 AM

You're such a tease ;-) Lots of hugs, good vibes and happy thoughts ... may you receive all the strength you need to face whatever challenge(s) you're currently up against ... even if the challenge is just not being able to tell us!!
Posted by: Alison at July 6, 2007 10:36 AM
Good luck and best wishes. I don't read consistently, but I can't help but make some guesses about what's up. (Call it selfish.)

I know you will find the strength to make it through this day, whatever it is that you need to do. I will be thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.
Posted by: Melissa at July 6, 2007 11:11 AM
Thank you for your bleeding hearts. They always remind me of my grandmother and it was her birthday yesterday. Very timely. Also, I want you to know that you're in my prayers.
Posted by: RobynR at July 6, 2007 11:18 AM
I love mysteries. Read them all the time. This one is killing me. No clues, no hints, no fingerprints. Nada. But since we all just wish you well, we'll have to send the hugs and wait for you to unveil the mystery for us instead of us solving it! Best wishes, Cara.
Posted by: SallyA at July 6, 2007 11:20 AM
lots of good vibes headed your way, lady! i hope all goes well.
Posted by: jenn at July 6, 2007 11:25 AM
My karma vibe just helped a friend get a great job (doubled her pay!) (ok, maybe she's just really good at what she does, but she gave me credit), so today that vibe's yours!
Posted by: beverly at July 6, 2007 11:27 AM
*Sends well wishes and what sanity I can spare*
Hope that the big day is something wonderful and exciting! Can't wait to hear about it!

Good vibes coming your way!
Posted by: Mindy at July 6, 2007 11:31 AM
You know you've got every good karma, wish, vibe, and voodoo thing I've got going. Not only that... I'm crossing my fingers AND my toes, and thinking about lucky rabbits' feet and four-leaf clovers and maybe I'll toss some salt over a shoulder while knocking on wood and rubbing my tubby while I pat my head (I really can)... just because, well, I may as well not stop now!!!
Sending lots of love, my dear. I'm thinking of you for sure. For damn sure.
Posted by: Vicki at July 6, 2007 11:34 AM
Hahahahahahahahaha...
I mean tummy!! Rubbing my TUMMY (which is a little bit tubby, but that's beside the point -- probably makes it all better, anyway).
XO
Posted by: Vicki at July 6, 2007 11:35 AM
Hope that Cara has a good day today!
ps. I will also rub my tubby tummy ..... that Vicki is so goofy!
Posted by: ann at July 6, 2007 11:42 AM
I have no sanity to spare, but I'll send all the good vibes I can muster your way. I hope you make it through the day and everything works out the way you hope. Take care.

Sending you all good thoughts whilst being VERY intrigued. (I am a little nosey.)
Posted by: Erin at July 6, 2007 11:49 AM
I have you on my Happy Thoughts list, but so help me, if you come back here and proudly announce that you did indeed get that License to Club Baby Seals that you've been pursuing for three months and it's all thanks to our positive vibes, we're probably going to be kind of annoyed.
;-)
Good luck, or hope it goes well, or have fun, or be safe, or whatever it is!
Posted by: alyson at July 6, 2007 11:52 AM
Wishing you good vibes all day and all weekend too! Its something good! I can feel it! (adoption just popped into my head when I read your post??!! is it a sign....the suspense must be getting to me!).

Posted by: Risa at July 6, 2007 11:54 AM
Hope everything is ok, and this news is good (talk about leaving a crowd hanging!) Take a deep breath, and we will too as we stay tuned :)
Posted by: Carla at July 6, 2007 12:00 PM
Good wishes zinging your way from this bleeding heart.
Now *give* already. (Suzanne has some good ideas... I hadn't thought of the donation angle.) You are driving us wacko, and some of us were most of the way there to begin with.
Posted by: Lucia at July 6, 2007 12:04 PM
Wishing you well.
It's kind of a miracle that I'm able to get onto your site at all; usually I can't. I'm sure the problem is at my end. But today's the second day in a row that I can access your blog. (Usually I have to Google "january one blog" and then click on the Cache link, a sorry substitute showing no pics.)
I take that as a good sign.
Posted by: Priscilla at July 6, 2007 12:10 PM
I hope whatever it is all goes your way, sweetie!

You certainly know how to pique one's interest! I hope you have a great day and everything goes as it should -- and then you can tell us what it all was about!
Posted by: Sarah at July 6, 2007 01:45 PM
There was a special on some BBC affiliate last night about ESP and the possibility that it does indeed exist. The program reviewed a slew of studies, PhD people, and government approved "remote viewing" (ESP with military applications)...
ANYWAY there might be something to it so "white light" and happy thoughts going your way. :)
Posted by: Cassandra at July 6, 2007 01:45 PM
i'm not even that nosey and my curiousity has been piqued! many many good vibes headed your way from steamy nc.
and you don't even know what a bad blogger is...i'm about six weeks late with an update...
Posted by: michelle at July 6, 2007 01:48 PM
Oh, my gosh, where else can I go for this type of torture? Of course you have my good wishes, my heartfelt blessings and prayers. I hope today turns out the way you hope in your heart of hearts it will.

Why you need them is immaterial, You'll tell us in your own good time - or not. Your choice. I send you much good wishes and wear an amethyst for peace, creative thinking and spiritual awareness. And I'll have a glass of wine as well. Nothing like a glass of wine for the spirit of bonhomie. And have a virtual hug as well. Hope it helps.

Posted by: Jeanne B. at July 6, 2007 03:59 PM
Hmm. My post left off the descriptors. OK. "Clunk" is the sound of me hitting the floor from ECO (Extreme Curiosity Overload) and "zing" is the good vibes being sent to Cara.
Posted by: Jeanne B. at July 6, 2007 04:03 PM
Hope you have a great day!
Seeing your mini monkey socks with the picot cuffs inspired me to try some picots on my socks. I love them! They're so incredibly cute. :)

I might have missed the day, but you are always in my thoughts since you first asked. I'm just patiently (NOT) waiting for the reveal. Not that it matters, it could be the smallest thing to me but it obviously means the world to you so, it matters and I'm sending the vibes, BABY!
