I was unpacking some stuff I hadn’t touched in a very long time, and I came across the ball bands for some Cascade 220.  I apparently wanted to remember something about the colors I used, because I made sure to write a note about the color on each one of them.

For those of you who can’t read it, this one says “Purple!”  Apparently just “purple” wasn’t enough – oh, no, I had to both capitalize it and make sure to give it an exclamation point.

On the other hand, my favorite was this one:

It took me a while to figure out what the second word here was – at first, I read this as “Pretty Ole!”, which didn’t sound right at all (I may not have the best handwriting either…).  Eventually, though, I was able to determine that this, in fact, said “Pretty Blue!” – notice that I carried through the capitalization and the exclamation pattern here too.

Now that I’ve found these, I wish I could remember what I was trying to remind myself about.  If only I’d, oh, I don’t know, written more on the inside of the band or something?  Maybe just another word like “Sweater!” or “Hat!” or “Blanket!” to give me some direction to go in.  But I guess that would make it too easy, right?
