Honey Chain

i am grateful for sprouting bulbs, gardening catalogs, graph paper, switching back to a lighter coat, lettuce (no, really), brighter days….

The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same. ~Carlos Castaneda

the cold, damp, overcast days have really been getting to me. thank goodness the sun came out today. yay! for the sun! i love you sunny day! i’m hoping these warmer days are going to stick around this week because i have some big eyesore removal plans for my yard.

so, today i was going to finish this stole

but rather than weave in the ends and be done i finished this throw

except for weaving in the ends and then worked on this a little

and then started this (don’t tell anybody, it’s a present)

they’re going to name a syndrome after me. parents will be sitting in doctors’ offices and the doctor will look at the chart and say “it looks like your daughter has kiki smith syndrome. she has an inability to finish what she starts.” and the parents will lean on each other crying “why? why?”

i’m just flitting from project to project today.

Your Power Color Is Magenta

At Your Highest:You energize yourself and push others to succeed. At Your Lowest: You feel frustrated and totally overwhelmed. In Love: You are surprised by who you attract. You’re a love magnet. How You’re Attractive: Open and free spirited, people want to explore the world with you. Your Eternal Question: “What is my next source of inspiration?”

What’s Your Power Color?

today, i took a little time to compare the actual time i have this summer to the list of projects i decided i would finish. i’m feeling so much better now that i’ve knocked about 5 years of work off of my list. phew! now, if i could only figure out how to be productive on 2 hours sleep per night i might actually get it all accomplished.

to bring you something funny and slightly annoying

i have the most horrible case of the blahs today. i just wandered around in an aimless fog. nothing was exciting, not even *gasp* cookies. you know it’s been a yucky day when i won’t even perk up for cookies. i think it’s the cold and the damp and the cloud cover. i’m sure tomorrow will be all sunny and warm and dry. it could happen.

i know it doesn’t feel all spring-like, but i hope you had an excellent day anyway.

i know a lot of people are not happy that it snowed again, but i am. you know why? cuz i’m lazy. with all the warm weather i’ve been looking at the eyesore that is my side yard thinking “it’s time to clean this puppy up.” enter snow. i can not clean up the side yard when it is covered in snow. boo hoo, i guess it will have to wait a couple more days. thank you, snow. thank you. thank you. thank you.
