I sat and talked with Gayle for hours yesterday, and didn’t pick up my knitting once! What’s wrong with me? This is very strange. I did think about new projects, so I’m not totally lost. I’m sure part of it is that I’ve been working on the house/laundry/feeding of the monkeys/trying to give the kids a summer vacation so hard all week that it was nice to just sit and do nothing for an afternoon. Maybe this summer vacation thing is harder than I thought. They never stop asking me to feed/entertain them. They fight. They whine. They hurt themselves, more than I would have imagined possible. They are always needing SOMETHING from ME! It’s tiring.

I’m kind of obsessed with the prospect of redoing my bedroom. I’ll keep the furniture, but I want to renovate everything else. The paint on the walls, the bedding, curtains, lamps, move the art around, etc. Right now, it’s all denim blues and whites. Very mellow. I’m ready for some spice. I want color! And I’m contemplating making most of it myself. Big surprise. I think about it all the time, but haven’t quite settled on anything yet.

Do we have any Cable-Eights? I haven’t received any emails. I’m probably going to kill the Hayden-along soon, so if you’re lolly-gagging on that one, be warned.

I don’t have any knitting to show you, but to keep things interesting, I can show you this…

Yup, that’s my man.
