If the title didn’t speak volumes the photo should be worth a thousand words. ouch

I am such the not happy knitter today!! I was totally excited for this weekend and had a great plan of what I wanted etc. . Well my parade has been rained on and I cant go this weekend. I am so incredibly bummed. Family obligation hopped up and unfortunately needed to be this weekend. So I am giving up my sheepy pie weekend , but I am pouting all the while. Definately need to acquire some yarn this week to make me smile

My day in bullet points (because thought in an orderly fashion is not coming)
* I wore sandals (for the first time this season) I need a pedicure. Painted toes to me always look like they are smiling.
* I work with these 3 guys lets call them Larry Mo and Curly. Mo and I do not get along so his brothers in stooginess have taken to screwing with me. Case in point I have a picture of my god daughter on my desk they took it and tried to taunt me with it. I mean seriously how old are you… I may need to seek revenge not sure though how… I mean seriously mess with the girl who plays with sharp pointy objects?
* I picked up my long abandoned rectangle shawl to start knitting only to see that there was a humongo counting error so to the frog pond it went. It was actually a zen moment though and got my aggression out which was a good thing. The Lorna’s yarn from Purl rocks… this is some mini stripey fun. Plans for tomm. include restart on the shawl and then more sock time.
hopefully will come up with a good plan

I am craving normal… not a new normal, mind you ,my old normal which I just don’t think I will ever have. These last few days have been amongst the hardest I have ever experienced. My salvation has been my best friend who has proved more then ever who she is… Here is where my question comes in. I wanna knit her something… a hug if you will for everything. She has SEVERE allergies to wool and angora (as far as we know that’s all) I need a soft amazing fiber and a pattern to compliment it. So I am throwing this out there hoping someone can help. I need to do this and it needs to be incredibly special b/c she deserves NOTHING less.

yeah I got nothing sorry. Lots to say but no title and not sure if I can do more then bullet points so thats what it’ll be.
* First impressions especially on the phone should be ignored. On second chance seems to be soo diff then I thought (in a good way) =)
* Toe up socks= very good for add knitter. By the time I realize I am getting bored I am almost done so why the heck not finish
* Having family “issues” is an energy sucking experience… which is really not helping with the whole trying to be upbeat and positive thing but what can you do.
* Saw Peertrainer via Lolly thought it was a good motivator so lets see if this helps… maybe we should start a team for knitters?? hmm something to think about
I think thats enough for now

Still feeling sad… grr I am so on my way to being a boy hater!!! Had my mini girly indulgence and went to B&N for a few books so maybe they will make me smile. I have spent the last couple of evenings just chilling out and trying to destress. Still playing with my toe ups… after a minor setback I am so on track. (I must think I have elephant feet or something)
Nothing else to post cause I am still being a cranky pants.

yeah yeah… An alternate title for this post could have been “Why I never should have stopped thinking boys have cooties”. ( too long though) Was not gonna post this but have been fairly bummed about it so… here it is. for a while now I have been with Dr. X ( or the boy) recently there have been some little fights but there has also been a lot of talk about the m word. well things definitely have taken a turn but unfortunately didn’t go there instead it ended and not on a positive note. Things were said that made this worse but I think it has been coming and I was just avoiding the signs. So I guess its back to the dating pool for me… Joy. Hoping for a more positive outlook on things…
