Late Start, On A Gloomy Day

theyarnproject Oct 06, 2010 12:28

Here it is, almost noon. I just finished eating (Would a meal at 11:30 qualify as brunch, or lunch?) I am still in my PJs...still working on a cup of coffee. Today, climbing out of bed was a struggle. Even now, a very big part of me wants to go, climb under the blankets, and become Winchester's embodiment of Rip Van Winkle.

Back In The Game

Here I am, two days off the cruise from hell.
Friday, I just toyed around with my yarn, for a little bit, in the evening. Most of the day was spent, getting used to being home. Home, sweet home. Home, where the beer is free, and falls don't happen.
Yesterday...
I woke up, at 5:30 in the morning. My dog was zooming around the room, in what I refer to ( Read more... )

So, yesterday...
When I sat down, at my computer, to write, I was beyond depressed. A whole friggin bottle of Zoloft would not have been able to remove the funk, that I had slipped into. There I was, in front of my computer, doing what I do, every day. I signed into my blog, looked at the blank page (which was just waiting to be filled with pearls ( Read more... )

Here We Go...AGAIN!!!

Here we are, eight days from the cruise. Eight days, which will go by insanely fast, and yet, somehow, take forever to pass. It is a vaction that everyone seems to need.

A Surprise Ending, To A Great Day

theyarnproject Sep 18, 2010 11:14

Yesterday...
I decided that I needed a break (yet again), from the monstrous blanket. Well....that, and the fact that, even if I did want to work on it, I was without my trusty hook. So, I gave my yarn some quick acknowledgement (I pulled out some skeins, and rolled them around, in my hands), then I decided to head to the mall.
The first stop I made ( Read more... )

Why All The Destruction?

theyarnproject Sep 17, 2010 11:51

Yesterday...
All started off, quite well, on the yarn front.
Ok, ok...that may be an exaggeration. To be truthful, all started off, good (albeit slow), on the yarn front. I had breakfast (junkie cereal, all the way baby...yeah, talk about sugar high!) I made my bed (because, well...a nice bed deserves to be made.) I pulled out my craft bag, and ( Read more... )

No Interruptions

Ok...So, here's the deal.
At the beginning of September, I was on FIRE! I was a FRIGGIN crocheting machine! The vision of my afghan, in all its finished glory, filled my head. Row 1 was worked, in a very short amount of time. And, as I started on row 2, I figured this afghan would be a friggin breeze.
Row 2, I came to find, was a little more ( Read more... )

Patience is a virtue.
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
Patience and fortitude conquer all things.
Patience is passion tamed.
Patience is the key to paradise.
Patience is the key to contentment.
Ok...sure. These "patience-themed quotes" are great. Then, there is my favorite saying, when it comes to patience.

The Support, I Thought I Had

theyarnproject Sep 14, 2010 08:35

Yesterday, there was actually very little, that got accomplished, in terms of my afghan-in-the-works. I was miserable, being kept from it, but there were so many other things, that needed to be done. I think, at the end of the day, I had averaged about 2 hours, MAX, in time spent with my yarn and hook.
Nowhere near enough time, to sastisfy the urge.
