Happy Birthday to Me
My dear cousin Patita sent me a really lovely birthday package. I opened it a day early because, frankly, I had a shitty afternoon at work. I've already drunk 2 Coronas and declared that working, does, in fact suck. But, then, the grass is always greener. Patita kindly supplied WAGE the Ugly Doll (in celebration of my renewed position of Wage Slave):
As well as some cute stitch markers and a cool assortment of yummy yarn:
I'm thinking the peach cones must be some kind of cotton, and I'm wondering if I can make a skirt out of them. The others seem destined for hats, although yesterday I was looking at this amazing afghan over at the Mason Dixon Knitting blog and thinking that maybe, just maybe, little by little I could knit such a thing. Amazing. The more I try to swear off knitting, the more of an obsession it becomes. I guess it's better than drinking. Oh, wait, I do that too.

Well, we had a nice breakfast out, and I took a long lunch so I could shop at the yarn store. I like it low-key, ya know?
