purlewetoday has been weird.
for some reason the past few days i cannot get out of bed in the morning. I push myself to get out of bed and make sue's tea or lunch and by the time she leaves either i am WIDE awake or completely in bed on my way to twilight. when my alarm goes off I struggle. It feels like being underwater. I wish it was easier to just WAKE UP!
so I've been knitting at my desk for lunch. trying desperately to finish this project. I don't think it is gonna happen. On another project last nite I think I knit myself until it was too late. I know I checked the number of stitches before I did the next decreasing row, but after I finished the row I was 2 short.. UGH. It said decrease, not over decrease. I felt like a knucklehead and turned out the light.
Sue and I made a few decisions last nite. We decided that we would stay in Stratford-upon-Avon for 4 days and then goto Surrey for 5 days. I know it is running a bit late, but we are trying to firm up hotel plans now. I wish we just KNEW what was gonna happen with this job thingy. But maybe not knowing is what is best.
My best friend, Cassandra, called me at work today. Her daughter received my lacey knit scarf and LOVED it. she wanted to go to bed with it. Her dad had to put his foot down and say she couldn't wear it to bed (she is on the top bunk, there was some concern about her hanging herself by accident EEK!!) They finally decided she could sleep with it all folded up and snuggled like a stuffed toy. I have two things to say: a) I am so glad that she LOVES her scarf. It is the the same color as her brother and he was excited that she matched him (and I was worried that they would not like matching) and b) I am still so glad I have never had children. I would not think of things like accidental hangings. But it was sure a joy to hear from Cassandra that the scarves as presents idea is not a bad one. So far everyone but her husband, Alan, has gotten one. I think I have just the thing for his. But it will have to wait until after the holidays.
And I just got the temple U non-credit course guide. As always i want to take everything. I'll scour the classes and let you know if anything piques my interests.

From the lesser half...
Date: 2003-12-12 12:46 pm (UTC)Glad to hear about Cassa's daughter loving the scarf (I knew she would). Accidental hangings??? I don't think I would have thought of that, either, but then... we don't have bunkbeds in most classroom situations (which is good, because I'd take repeated naps in them.)
I'm sure you can fix the project you overknit last night. (although I'm sure it doesn't make you happy to think about any more frogging) Just unknit your brow [I'm sure I'm going to catch it for that, but I don't care - ;) ] and look at it with a fresh start today at home.

Well that's me anyway, I would never have thought of things like that before I had my daughter. Its strange how so much changes.
I do that "knit late and screw up" thing all the time. you'd think I'd learn my lesson.

Date: 2003-12-12 07:05 pm (UTC)but seriously, i was shocked a)that the scarf became an object she wanted 24/7 and b)that that could be an effect.. but then i haven't seen their bedroom i awhile and i forgot about hearing they got bunkbeds. and maybe i could say I am surprised the youngest child is on the top bunk, but I think that comes from the fact that i am the odest child in my family and i wouldn't give up the top bunk for nothing.
