Blessings
If you are of the Evelyn Woods blog reading school move on please. There are no pictures today. I'm gonna talk and admit I tend to look at pictures rather than words on other people's blogs. Hmmm I would be moving onward myself.
Wednesday was my birthday. I asked my husband for yarn monies. Recently there was a discussion on a list about how archaic the 'asking hubby for permission to spend money' mentality is. My husband even thinks its abnormal[not like a girl is the phrase I believe he uses] to not just go shopping. He says all his coworkers and buddies complain incessantly about their wives just charging up the cards. I tend to think that I should 'ask' just because what looks like extra $$ in the checking acct could really be a not cleared major bill. Its not like he has ever said NO. Sometimes its 'next month' but never has it been NO.
Anyway digression aside that was my official birthday gift. He *did* come home with a dozen roses and a candle. My husband brings me flowers every wednesday usually with chocolate or some such. A friend recently asked what did I get for the big day. Nothing. That was my reply. What an ingrate I am. Because I get flowers, usually roses, every week getting them on my birthday-esp one that falls on flower day anyway-seems like nothing. And getting a shopping spree, which I know I could get on request, seems like nothing.
I am an ingrate and will work on it this year. Its not a new years resolution but a birthday resolution. I like making birthday resolutions. Somehow my birthday seems a more appropriate time to make a major work on self effort than oh a new year. I did however make a New Years Resolution. To be less ranty. I think I am doing a good job so far. Only a couple of rants this year. So few I can count--two on copyright and one on horses. Both worthy subjects for expressing my opinion.
Back to the ingrate subject. Remember my friends who said I am a amateur stasher? I mentioned them yesterday. I heard back from one who said I was *still* an amateur. Well I shall inspect her stash soon enough and reserve judgement. I was in fact a teensy bit offended. The gal that dies with most stash wins yada yada yada. But since I am thinking of blessings and my general ungratitude I had to go WTF. I actually wrote about this to the Lint Support Group. Determine how much is enough for you and don't worry bout others. I personally am overwhelmed by my daily wake up call to hello knit me up already. I think all linters/yarn dieters should put ALL their yarn in plain sight instead of in attics or basements or behind closed doors. My feelings of stash inadequacies are held at bay once again.
Anyway enough ramblings for the day. I hope you find an unexpected blessing during the course of your day.
