i know myself pretty well. i am my own soul mate ;) but seriously, over the years i've discovered how i work and i try to be accomodating to that or else i pay later. i don't cope well with uncertainty, and i don't cope well in disorganization. by nature, i'm not particularly organized, but i like to be organized because i function best in a (at least) semi-organized environment.
now some of you may have heard me complain about my lazy neighbours who never check their mail, and left a door lying in the drive way for 4 days. well today i went out on my balcony to see an old man (who may or may not have had teeth) mowing the lawn. they HIRED someone to mow the lawn, that's how lazy they are. most of you have seen my front lawn, frig... our lawn is about 10 ft squared!!
it was beautiful out when i went for my lunch time walk today. i swear if i'd been anywhere else, i would have loved to lie down in the middle of a field and watched the clouds go by.
i'm meeting melinda at the artel in less than an hour and we're going to the goat. i think i'll take my knitting and knit away while we visit. i'm moocho-moocho pleased with my current knitting project, especially since i'm making it up as i go. i'm surprised at my ability to just dream up knitting projects, i didn't know that was in me. what i'd really like is a black cardigan. but i'm still not a great knitter and it would take me a very long time to knit myself one. would you like to knit me one? i need it for work, my current "at work cardigan" is WAY too big, my mom knit it for me as a teenager. it was large when she made it but has stretched tremendously. i think it could cover 2 and a half people at once.
its funny how things can change from one week to the next.
i saw this episode of seinfeld recently and i've been meaning to mention this to you. jerry was trying to decide what to buy elaine for her birthday, he told george "what ever i get her she's gonna end up asking everyone in the country 'what does this MEAN?'" ahahaha. so funny. so true.
feel like just a baby,

You can make up a pattern as you go and you say you're not a great knitter?!? That sounds pretty great to me. Far beyond my skill level.
My current knitting project is a dress. Knit with sock yarn. What was I thinking? It's going to be beautiful -IF I ever finish it. It'll take me at least 5 years if I do.
be warned, there is a difference between thinking up great ideas and executing them.
rach, your dress sounds cool! you better get moving on that. hope to it missy :)
les, have you ever read any anne lamott books? if not, you must! i feel like you both have very similar outlooks on life...gentleness and acceptance towards and of oneself...pretty cool stuff!
Cas
ps - Travelling Mercies and Plan B are both good places to start!
i agree with cas, those are both great books if you haven't read them already, les.
i have not. cas were you buying an anne lamott book that day at indigo? i'll take your suggestion. write now i'm reading "the secret lives of bees". thanks for the suggestion girls :)
funny thing... i thought i was gonna be late for work today, BUT i'm not. although, i did skip breakfast and am gonna go buy a muffin from the caf.
yep - plan b was one of the books i bought that day...the other was hey nostradamus (a douglas coupland gem..another good read if you're interested!)
hope that muffin worked out :P
Cas
well i DID get a muffin, but not the one i'd hoped for. i got there too late so had to get a banana one instead of chocolate chip. i couldn't help but think "someone else has eaten my muffin".
