so, last night, the cats continued to fight and the kitten and pavel ran back and forth across the bed and us and the hole in the patch again and then, etc, etc, etc. le sigh. needless to say, me no sleepy. also, i have been kind of forgetting to eat, other than when i first get up, so i wake up late and am so hungry that i feel like i will barf. i need to really try to eat every couple of hours. i know that i am chubby because i don’t eat enough, oddly enough. gaaaaah! it is so ironic that we spend so much time trying NOT to eat when the secret is to not eat processed crap and to eat whenever you are hungry. how did that get so hard to figure out?
i took a pep pill, had some coffee and got to work packing up orders and then spun and plied 4 bulky bobbins (i think…) wound some, and tonite, got one knitted up for a swap. weee! i am afraid to say it, but i think i am caught up. is that possible? seriously?
i have some presents to make still, but i have either swapped or bought handmade for everyone.
i should be ashamed to admit i watch the real world on mtv. crappy reality shows are a bit of an addiction, but more than anything, i am generally amazed at how nasty people are to each other and the mob mentality. i am sure you know i have whined about my miserable childhood experience with just that, to the point that everyone seemed like the same group of people, regardless of where we had moved to. on this episode, the faux blonde, frosty haired, low rise sweatpants and too short shirt wearing thinks that she is hot due to her frosty hair flipped out on a non-faux blonde haired girl and pushed her down, as well as saying horribly things to her and it literally just brought all of the bile back up to see no one get mad, no one defend her, just to watch and think it is kind of funny. i dunno. i just don’t understand that stuff. people are mean. and then everyone is mad at her for saying that the girl has to go home. like it isn’t your own fault if you get violent with someone. and also she felt the need to let everyone know that she is a really religious “christian”. i know, i know, hate the sin, not the sinner, but it is hard to get how someone considers themselves christlike and acts so so mean. gah. i guess i just relate with the non-faux blonde. did i mention, gah? on the upside, all of the guys hated her, too. they just don’t get involved.
sorry for the rant. sorry. photos to-morrow.

Hi, it’s good to finally get a moment to read your blog. I wake up really early, and don’t have any cats to wake me – just small children. Much the same really:) Reality tv- I am with you, it is universal on how people can be so mean to each other, I’m sorry to say. Have a good rest of the week – Cathy novembermoon
I don’t have a tv, but your post brought back a memory. I was in 5th or 6th grade at a girl scout meeting, and one of the other girls pushed me in a ditch, and I thought that kind of sucked. I pretty much lost interest in girl scouts after that, and I’ve always remembered that girl pushing me in the ditch. But what never occurred to me until your post was how come all the other girls standing there just watched? No one came to my defense or criticized what she had done or even helped me out of the ditch. They just stood there like it was entertaining.
i wonder if your asleep yet?
i admit i sometimes watch the most awful crap on tv too
