also, in this dream that had a hundred different layers of suck, as usual, one of my friends had gotten almost the identical haircut and color as mine but acted like she had no idea. so odd. additionally, there were women in my dreams talking about childbirth things and in my dream my dad was telling me just be tough and have a kid or two, and i was super freaked out. i started thinking about my lack of energy and how i would possibly take care of kids. needless to say, i was reading ms. melanie’s blog before i went to sleep. i get alarmed just reading about what other people are trying to do. and let me just say how incredible it is that she has MALE friends that stay up with the babies. i think none of my friends would. in fact, we might not even have friends after that.

i packed up orders and did businessperson sorts of things, went to the post office and then realized that one of the packages had been labeled, but i left the label at home. this is a regular client, so i pondered for a moment if i could remember the address on my own. actually, i could have looked it up on my phone, or at the library, but i didn’t think of it. the post office is like 2 minutes away from my house, so i will go to-morrow. no biggie.

i also decided that i will be shipping first class with insurance and delivery confirmation, so that i don’t continue to pay for shipping out of my pocket, it actually costs a few bucks more per package, sometime a lot more than that, for all of the services i add, and it will get there just a fast. so.

i sent the pattern for the loop stitch necky thing to shannon for one of the books she is working on. and hopefully it makes sense. it actually would make a super cute purse.

what else? oh, i love le pens. they are my favorite pens. my writing looks a million times better with those pens. and they come in really good colors. teal. olive green. brown. but! the are not waterproof ink. i found out the hard way whilst mailing stuff in the rain. sigh.

my friend john from pdx is in town, although, in traditional john behavior, we are supposed to have dinner but i have yet to hear from him. and it is after 6. so. jake wanted to go, but it will be too late for him. but! his wife, lady diana (really) is getting some pressies from me that i was planning to just mail, although the mail might get there quicker than she will get it from john. anyway. some good stuff. like yarns that were not listed on the site. from me to you! and more. so much more!

the yarn store in atlant finally got my samples, the second one, the first never showed up, and made an order, i think the pricing is sorted out, but emailed her just to confirm. so that will be good if it works out. i know i need to talk to some local yarn shops now that i don’t have one that i sell to…i am so sad that they are closing. i am stunned that no one bought it. anyway, i have a hard time calling people and going out to meet them, despite the fact that i have done super duper well everytime i have done it. it isn’t shyness or anything. just my antisocial nature. it is so bad. i wish i wasn’t like that. if there is something going on that i am supposed to come to, i start getting nervous about it and that people will fuss over me and then i will not be able to ditch out, and…i suck.

ok, off to do some work.
xo,
