Sigh. Did you hear? Unwound is no more. Kelli says “farewell” in the current episode. I totally understand — having worked for a law firm in the City for six years in a former iteration of myself, I’ve seen how much junior associates have to work — but I’m bummed.
‘Bye, Kelli! We’ll miss you. And thanks again for the book….
After being so nice to me around Mother’s Day, the Things were possessed by some kind of awful demon yesterday. Of course, these things only happen on days when Hubby’s coming home late (kind of like when I was a kid and the washing machine caught on fire when Poppa was gone on a business trip). He was playing in a charity golf tournament yesterday, which ended with a nice dinner, so he got to miss it all.
Today was a big step better, but still not as it should have been. It doesn’t help that my hormones are all over the place these last two days, either (psycho perimenopausal woman in the house!). I know it could be worse, but I still wouldn’t wish this on anyone — I’m easily angered, ready to rip someone’s head off at times, plus something simple like stirring a pot or winding a ball of yarn can become a sexual experience. That last part may sound like fun but, trust me, it’s NOT.
And just think…in 3 years or so, Thing One will be PMS’ing and everything, too. Oh, joys! Poor, poor, Hubby….
After spending too long on the computer, trying to figure out which patterns to use for a patchwork-type baby blanket, I picked up my “on hold” books from the local library. It took less than an hour to abandon the patchwork idea and decide to do a parquet squares blanket.
It’s coming along quite well, and I sooooo wish I could show you a picture. I’m using four of the five balls of Baby Ull that I bought recently (I’m just not thrilled with how the turquoise looks with the rest). It’s chugging along much faster and easier than the quasi-patchwork sampler thing would have, and with much less math involved (as in, none). Turns out that Erik & Florence’s baby shower is on the 28th, so I’ve got to hurry up! It looks very nautical, especially the squares of the nearly-black blue with the second-lightest blue.
I’ll make sure I get a picture somewhere along the way.
I gotta get this thing done so I can go back to working on Mrs. M’s and Mrs. G’s end-of-year teacher gifts. Ack!
