knit a square & make a toy

ok, who wants me to knit them a stuffed duck, rabbit, camel? joanna lent me this knitting book today that's super basic - although, i have to admit it still looks a little advanced for me. i haven't yet reached pearling. but i'll give it a go. who wants one. there's a list of like 24 different animals to choose from. so get back to me.

after church i went to copper penny with meghan. i'm crazy about copper penny and it was nice to go with someone who shares my love of the c.p. they've actually just built a take-out copper penny in the township and i have to pass it every day of the way to the factory. i feel deep down they've only put it on my route to tempt me since i only get a half hour lunch and i could never make it there and back in time. and of course it's because of me, because the whole world revolves around me. right? ;) of course right.

but really, i do have a center of the world complex. i'm trying to work thru that though. i'm always getting my feelings hurt over dumb things that weren't anything to do with me because i somehow rationalize it to be about me.

another thing i need to overcome is my constant blushing. its obsurd. i blush at the most unopportune moments, when i'm not even embarrassed. i've been told that i'll grow out of it, my mom said she used to be the same way and i've never seen her blush before. actually there are several things i've never seen my mom do - run, ride a bike, chew gum. anyways, i was also told that i shouldn't get embarrassed about blushing because that only makes it worse. i should just be like "let it come, i don't care". but that hasn't really helped before. so if you ever see my blushing don't think anything of it. its probably more that i've been put on the spot unexpectedly.
