In lieu of knitting-related things...

                                    

                                    

                                                  

                                          

my girls...

I yearn for yarn

Who knew being a working mom of two would be so time-consuming?  *laughs insanely*  My hours are filled with my work, either the J-O-B kind or the M-O-M kind, and that leaves me with very little time or energy for my hobby, my yarn.  *sighs*  How I miss the click-clack of my needles, the feel of the yarn intertwined between my fingers, the joy of a finished object. 

One of these days, we will meet again, sweet yarn.  One of these days.

The Big 3-0

Yup, it's official.  I'm no longer a gal in my 20s...

Thirty things about me on my thirtieth:

1. I drink my coffee khaki-colored, just like my mom used to.

3.  I'm an early bird.

4.  I used to compete in beauty, I mean scholarship, pageants.

5.  I have lots of freckles.

6.  I'm a natural blonde.

7.  I love singing... in the car, in the shower, on the stage... wherever.

8.  I am madly in love with my husband.

9.  Daisies are my favorite flower.

10.  Shiner Bock is my favorite beer.

11.  I could eat Mexican food every day of the week.

My fling just wasn't meant to be...

After waiting for my Rowan wool cotton for the Spring Fling cardi for over two months, having it shipped to the wrong address and lost, and then finding out the yarn is on backorder again... I've decided to finally listen to the signs and accept that maybe I shouldn't be knitting Spring Fling right now.  Surely all this can't go wrong for no reason, right?  So I'm just gonna buckle down and try to finish my current projects and save that one for next year maybe... ah, parting is such sweet sorrow.

I'm feeling sorta in a funk today.  Maybe it's because I'm hormonal and menstrual, maybe because I'm exhausted and overwhelmed... at any rate, it sucks and I'm hoping I feel back to my normal self soon.  What I wouldn't give for a day alone.
