Saturday

Sunday

May not seem all that exciting but I had a blast!

Lil Miss Saun sat in her office chair, planning to eat her mid-morning snack.
She opened her lunch bag and out came a spider that made Miss Saun jump back.

That was my sad attempt at Lil Miss Muffet . Nevertheless that was my tale from work on Monday. I swear I must have done something to upset the balance of the insect world, because they are out to destroy me.

Let’s see now….. I don’t have any pictures today. Everything I’m working on looks like a big blob of yarn so there isn’t anything good to take pictures of. I will tell you about my latest yarn purchase from Jannette’s Rare Yarns. If you get on her email list, she occasionally sends out special sales. The latest deal a bag (10 skeins) of Chunky Yorkshire Tweed for $40 with shipping included. I couldn’t pass that up.

The end of April is fast approaching (this year is just flying by) and I hope to have my two projects done by the end of April. I want to use May as my “clean-up” month. There are projects I need to finish or fix and I never seem to get to them.

I hoping for good weather this weekend. I want to just sit on my deck, listen to some music, knit, and relax. What are you plans for the weekend?

I’m not sure if this is the best way to ask because if you are having trouble then you probably can’t read this but I’m gonna ask it anyway. Is anyone having trouble reading my blog, leaving comments, or buying patterns?

I’ve had one person tell about an issue and I want to know if it’s a consistent problem.

I’ll be back tomorrow with updates. We had such nice weather over then weekend that I didn’t get much done indoors. Not even any knitting or tv/netflix watching. And since you know those 2 things rank high on my list, it must have been great outdoor weather.

While the news media likes to dwell on tragedy, I try not to. You should definitely be mindful/respectful of the loss and learn from it. I just don’t think people should focus on trying to understand it. Here is my rationale: Only crazy people understand crazy and unless you are crazy you will NEVER understand it, so don’t even try.

So with that, I’m going to focus on the good things….

.. like the fact that an old college friend found my blog and left me a smart a$$ message. He wanted me to remove it but I’m not going to. It made me laugh. It reminded me of the good times we all used to have. We were a sarcastic bunch with lots of jokes. Awwww…..the good old days.

… like the nice african violet plant that Liz gave me at knit night Thursday. It’s in a special orchid pot, which I would have never known to get. Hopefully I can keep this plant alive. My last plant “Daisy” lasted 6 months. I’m hoping this one will last for years.

… like the nice time I had at the Temples and Tombs Egyptian Art exhibit I saw Friday. A friend invited me to attend the festival the NC Art Museum was having for the opening of the exhibit. There were vendors, music, and dancing. The greatest part was that everyone was able to see the exhibit for free. As a souvenir, I got my name in printed in heiroglyphics.

… like the fact that I got these two fortunes with my Chinese food Friday night.

… like the fact that my Habu tunic is coming along nicely.

So focus on the good things going on in your life, because you are lucky enough to have one to live.
