This yarn was so beautiful & reminded me of the sea, all the shades of green and almost blues, and I pictured myself in France taking a little stroll along the beach after teaching class or perhaps popping in out of the wind for an espresso at a little cafe. This ability to envision myself with unpurchased (generally superfluous & expensive) objects seems to be a recurring problem...as per a certain pair of boots, which have yet to be worn. On the bright side I do have a certain wonderfully goofy someone in my life that knows how to knit & I imagine this will be an excellent reason to get together on a cold day & knit up a storm. A bientôt.

Same old tricks
Sometimes I get frustrated because I can't do it all. I have so many interests and I wish wish wish to high heaven I could find the time to do everything...I want to be able to read books outside of my course work, I want to learn how to knit, I want to sew, I want to paint, I want to go out dancing, I want to have dinner parties, I want to go running, I want to take naps, I want to have time to sit & be quiet and just think, I want time to cook myself delicious meals, I want to travel everywhere, etc etc. It's so overwhelming that I don't know what to do with myself. I generally do something irrational, like spend money that I don't have or waste time that I don't have. Today it was a bit of both. I decided that I want (and must) learn how to knit...bought expensive yarn...and realized that I was now short on cash and time...super.

You can do it all!
I ought to send you one of those awful inspirational posters with a picture, of, I don't know, a paraplegic woman hang-gliding across the finish line of the New York marathon while her gimp boyfriend is proposing in the background.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
Best comment ever. It would need to have a quote underneath it or some cheesy song lyrics to go with the wonderfuly inspirational photo.
The thing is, I want to do it all...and I'm generally pretty sure I can. I take the fact that I bought yarn as a sign of hope, I'm still trying to do it all. In fact, I just finished knitting my first scarf!
