Man, I hate when I’m a stupid ass.
Yesterday, I was so upset about that damn TV show, I posted something on the Internets (a board I used to frequent, but don’t anymore, precisely because it upsets me) and I didn’t get the reaction I was looking for. Well, DUH! That’s why I left in the first place. And then I just proceeded to get more and more upset. There’s nothing I hate more than stupidity – especially when practiced by moi. Nothing. Drives me batty.
Luckily, Jen saved me (as she does more and more these days.) She called and asked to run some errands (I hope D liked the chair!) which included buying some of these (which I proceeded to just about finish when you left – vomit much?) and watching this. At first I was putting together some cards, but quickly moved to knitting. I managed to drop three more stitches on Clap-o-TEE (my goofy spelling for the person who asked. Nothing wrong with a little goof, I always say.) I’m about done my fourth hank of silk, and I’m STILL not sure how long it is. But I think I’ll finish this and maybe drop one more stitch for good measure on the next hank and then start the decreases. I’d like to finish it up this weekend. I’m done with it. Don’t get me wrong – it’s beautiful and I love the pattern, but I’m bored. I want SHORT ROWS!
While she was here, Jen finished seaming a cutie pie raglan in Calmer – so super cute! And it was her first finished sweater! I was honored to be there for such a momentous event. I see lots more in her future.
So Jen left and I ate myself into sickness. What’s wrong with me? Basically, I just can’t have the stuff in the house. If it’s here, it’s like I have to eat it all until it’s gone. If it’s not here – I don’t think about it. Insanity. My middle name.
Anyway, it’s still cold and it’s still raining and it’s still crap. I need to watch a good movie and put cards together – my life for the moment. I don’t think I have much to complain about, so why am I still here? Have a great day – whatever you’re eating, whatever the weather.
That bee looks blissful. I tend to eat junk your way. No Little Debbies though…but they might require further investigation. Gracie watched Sense and Sensibilty on the drive down to Maryland and liked it quite a bit. Thanks for sharing such beautiful insect pictures. So talented.
It’s supposed to be beautiful weather tomorrow; maybe that will help?
The weather does say partly cloudy tomorrow for your area. I’m feeling slightly guilty for having severe clear blue skies for the last week. (Guess I shouldn’t have brought it up?)
The pollen on that bee is very cool…you do good work.
Ah, Internet bulletin boards… they are nasty places. Blogging is so much nicer and more calm. Relatively few trolls and flamers over here (knock on wood) I used to be a “heavy” BB user, and many times did things that made me slap my forehead. Thank goodness for the anonymity of the “Internets”
Great bee pic–I like pictures of them, but not when they are near me…
Whoa! I adore that bee pic. I seriously have to get a better camera, although every time I do all it proves is that I suck as a photographer. I have the same sickness about “if it’s there I have to eat it; if it’s not there I don’t think about it.” I went to the store today when I was hungry — mistake number one. Don’t even ask about what I got and how much of it is already gone; it’s too embarrassing!
how do you do it? I can’t get stationary objects in such sharp focus
What an amazing picture. The bee looks like a furball! NBC is going down hard, don’t worry.
Your talent as a photographer never ceases to wow me. That photo is incredible!
Cool bee! Culinary therapy – I know it well — anything chocolate or chocolate covered.
OOOOH! I *love* that bee pic. He reminds me of Oscar playing in the snow with it all over his face and head. Thanks for the shopping and knitting and snacks yesterday. I need more LD oatmeal pies in my life. 🙂 Hey – D definitely did like the chair, but I’m not sure that two will fit in the living room. Might need to do the mix-n-match. We’ll probably be heading over to try it out in person again on Saturday.
Wowza – I love those insect & flower shots. I’m glad that Jen was able to help you out. That’s what friends are for.
