I need to vent
Tomorrow at my wonderful LYS they are having there once a month Knit at Night. I am going, and again taking my niece. In order to take her, we (hubby and I) have to take her younger brother. Then hubby’s mom has decided that she wants to go to. Only the niece and I are actually going to the knitting. Hubby and the others will have to find something else to do for the few hours that we will be knitting.
Why, oh why am I doing this? If all these people go, then all we (hubby and I) can do is go to knitting and then go home. Maybe dinner, but I doubt it. My LYS is in the next town over, about 20 minutes away.
Why is this all a big deal? Well, it wouldn’t be, so much, if hubby was not on call all the time. If we could go and do whatever whenever. Since he’s on call, we have to change plans around a lot to make sure he can be where he needs to be in a short amount of time. Friday is the one day he told them he couldn’t be on call.
The movie we were planning on seeing…..nevermind.
The shopping we need to get done…..maybe later.
The dinner we had planned…..next week.
Thank you, for ruining everything, and then saying, well what did you expect.
Another amigurumi
I finished another amigurumi from the book Kyuuto! Japanese craft amigurumi.
This one is the white seal and is so soft and cute. I just want to cuddle it forever.
Break out
I need a break
From the drama you make
I need you to understand
You do not have to hold my hand
I find it hard to believe
That you actually want to talk to me
I wished on every shooting star
That you would not push me so far
I find it unbearable
Listening to hours of “every thing is so terrible”
I can not keep going on
Playing this little con
I want out
Every time you start to shout
I think it is time you see
Every one around you needs to be free
Why bother
Hubby has an older brother, who’s wife is in the hospital with cancer. She’s had it for years, but they are operating to remove some tumors. We received our holiday gifts from them this evening. We didn’t expect anything because it has been a hard year on everyone. It was pleasant enough to see them on Thanksgiving. We get this bag of boxes with our names on them. Hubby got a new wallet, and I got, well, a tennis visor. I don’t wear hats. I will wear a beanie or skull cap in winter, but that’s it. They have never seen me wear a hat either. They could have called and asked.
I know it’s the thought that counts and everything, but when you go out and get something for someone, don’t you at least try to find something that reminds you of them? Or something that they could use?
I’m really confused about it. I don’t want to upset them by telling them how I feel, at the same time, I’m not going to wear it. It even advertises a company I’ve never heard of. I don’t like to be a walking billboard for someplace or someone I don’t support or like.
Well, that’s my rant for this evening. Why bother getting someone something if you are not going to put any thought into it at all? Just, tell them happy holidays, or happy birthday, or whatever. Don’t put them in the awkward position of what to do with something you are never going to use, or wear.
The yarn experience
My niece is doing job shadowing at school and decided she wanted to shadow at my LYS. I called Margaret and she asked if she could. Margaret agreed. Today was job shadow day, and since she is my niece, I went with her. There was lots of sorting, and pricing. More yarn and needles were put out. The phone was answered in a very grown up manner, and at the end of the day, my niece asked, when can I come back? She’s very sad that she misses our Wednesday get-togethers. Often wishes there were more than once a month knit at nights.
My niece is 13. She has only been knitting a month. I have to say I’m very proud because I am the one that taught her how to knit.
Dishcloths
Since I knit, I get a lot of requests from friends and family. Usually I’m only to happy to make something for them. Lately, they have been driving me crazy. Every single one of them is on some sort of dishcloth kick. I started off just making two face cloths for me, because I’m allergic to certain soaps. It has now exploded into four for my mom, four for my MIL, two for my hubby, and someday, I’ll get to the ones for me. I really like knitting, but I have the feeling if I ever get all these done, no more dishcloths.
My sister is coming down from the mountains today to visit me. She said she would be here sometime this afternoon. Best get the house in some sort of order.
