Work with me here...
First I just thought you should know that I tried the ripping a phone book thing and I could actually do it. Well, I didn't completely rip it apart but I started too and it does work. The only problem was that we still need our phone book so I couldn't rip it all the way. Sorry zebra, yes the first scene of the video for the phone book is a little odd looking and can be misconscrewed as possibly something rated higher than "G". I am going to leave it on there and eventually it will move off the front page of my blog.
Next, have you ever started to write and nothing comes out? Well that has happened to me several times this week. I have been in a little funk this week. I don't know what started it and I hope to end it soon. It started about Tuesday and has lasted through today. I haven't really wanted to do anything. I haven't been interested in teaching either which makes for a fairly boring workday. Hopefully it will disappear as quickly as it came. It may have something to do with my diet. I have gone off the Atkins diet this week and am eating more carbs than I had been. That may have had an affect on my behavior. No everyone, I am not depressed. It is a funk. It could be PMS which would be right for this time of the month. Anyway, on with life...
I have been working on a new project recently. It is a bathmat. I am knitting it and it is pretty cool looking. I am pretty excited about it and have been working on it every chance I get. It is coming along well and I am about half way done. I also tried out a potholder last night right before I went to bed. I crocheted it with three strands of Peaches and Cream all cotton yarn. It is very stiff but it looks like it will work well. I am excited to use it and see if it will really work. Never know friends out there, you may all be receiving these for Christmas this year. Family, you are definitely getting something handmade. There is something about hand making the things you use everyday in the home. I get a sense of pride in that. Maybe I am weird but hey, I live in my own little workd, that's okay, they know me here!

I know what you mean about projects. My family members are getting scarves. I have mother-daughter sets going for my sister, OU ones going for her sons, my eldest neice wants one for her and her bff (they are 8). My dad wants one made up of all the other yarns. I'm serious - I think he wants it just to make his wife nuts.
Yeah, I've been in funk for a week or so. I think it is the rain+pain meds + pain. blah. that and i'm leaving in 9 days and i don't have much of a plan other than "pack passport and train tickets".
i mean, really couldn't even get that jazzed about the south carolina democratic primary debate on thursday. i LIVE for that stuff and it was 'yeah, well, they all piss me off'.
You are on my "family" list so you are definitely getting something. I feel like I am about 8 years old getting excited about making potholders again!! But...these are kinda cool.
maybe i'll make sears family ones. would kenneth wear a scarf? just asking 'cause if he wouldn't, then i'll just do them for you and the kids. oh, and pick a color scheme.
The girls are particular to pink and purple (don't know why) and I like those colors too. Nicholas likes blue or green and Kenneth likes them too. Can't wait!!
