Just Some Notes...

• Today I am thankful that I got five additional pages up at ICanSpin.com. I went to bed late and woke up early (drat!) but put the "extra time" to good use updating the video spinning site. Hopefully the donating vendors will be pleased!

• I am also thankful for Ibuprofen. I did too much yesterday, even without biking. (Hopefully I'll bike today, to prepare myself physically and mentally for the dysFUNctional Family Function tomorrow!)

• I am grateful that I only have about sixteen more rows to go on sleeve number two of the gray cable "Welcome Back, Old Friend" sweater (Interweave Knits, Fall, 2000). (I am not thankful that the next step is assembling! I may allow myself a birthday treat of some socknitting before I attempt garment construction...)

• I am thankful that Jeff had not yet gotten me a birthday gift yesterday. Late last night, I asked him if he had, and he said, "No, I was going to ask you what you'd like." (When, on the way to the party??? Men!!!)

  Well, it's a good thing he hadn't, because I advised him that he had ordered me four new colors of socknitting yarn from The Fifth Stitch. It's not like I need more sock yarn to add to my stash; it's not that I even like Opal (ordered two skeins of its Brasil yarn, and two of Meilenweit). But Claudia's Blog sucked me in, and erased my "no new wool" No More-Atorium, but at least getting it as a "birthday gift" makes the guilt a little less!

  And don't purple and orange Halloween socks sound fantastic?

• I am thankful I know when to establish rules for myself (the No More-Atorium for spindles and wool, the Only One Project At A Time goal). But I am also thankful that I know that sometimes, rules are made to be broken. Sometimes you need a treat. If you listen to yourself, you'll know when to feel a little guilty, and when to splurge!

• I am thankful that ICanSpin and this Blog have been updated, that all the icky musical instrument insurance paperwork has been completed, and that all I have to do today is knit, pay a couple of bills, and eat a Chef Jeff omelette for breakfast!

  I'm going to spend the day relaxing, reading gentle Buddhist books, meditating, aromatherapizing, and biking... and I plan to wake up tomorrow with a good attitude and less soreness!

Off to knit and have a relaxing Saturday. Hope yours will be just as good! Say hi in the TagBoard, please!
