late

i found an ipod in my glove compartment today. it's not mine. it was totally weird.

i'm | THIS | close to finishing david's scarf. it looks GREAT. it's 6'6" without the tassels. i hope he loves it. i think he will, my only concern is that it's rather thick, it's much too big for me. but he's bigger than me so i think it'll be ok. i'm pretty proud of this project because it involved a lot of innovation on my part. at rachel (greenwood)'s place the other day, all the ladies were commenting on my unusual technique, and i had to explain that what i was doing was rather unconventional (picking up the side-stitches). but midge put a twist on it and said it was "innovative" – i liked that. i do take my share of risks with knitting, i've always thought it was because i don't know any better. but maybe from now on i should think of myself as a knitting maverick, i'm trying to stop selling myself short.

i participated in my first "wellness committee" meeting today at work. this is a big deal for me because i don't usually do stuff like join committees, – i never did extra curricular activities at school either. it's a stretch for me, so that's cool. it was a good meeting, i was able to suggest they salt the walking path we all use at lunch time and a few other things.

how i wish you could see the potential.

no, no one broke into my car. someone left it there but i didn't know who. the battery is dead. but i figured out who it belongs to. it's been there since early october.

thanks, i hope he loves it (the scarf).

I think it's funny that there's been an ipod in your car since October and that you didn't know. I think that's funnier than it being there...! I don't look in my glove box very often either...
And knitting maverick is the way to go - the scarf is gorgeous!!
