More Knitting

So.. I know I’m obsessed, but I love it. I finished up Esther’s scarf with the flower, it turned out adorable. I’m now working on a scarf for myself.

“Get Over It”

So.. when M & I broke up last summer, I was heart broken and sure I would never love again. Ask Kate. I assured her I wouldn’t ever do it again. I was done with men.

As time went by, and I realized 1) how much better off I am without him, B) how great a catch I really am and 3) how many OTHER men there are out there, of course, my thinking changed. My pain was still there, but I realized “someday” I would be able to open myself up again.

So.. last night for some unknown reason I couldn’t sleep. I woke up three times, the last time for at least two hours, laying there thinking about random things. And one of those random things was “if my house was on fire, what would I grab?”

I think it started off because I smelled something smokey and I just thought “uh oh is the house on fire?!?!” It wasn’t. Obviously.

But, it led to an interesting thought. Here is my list..

1) My dogs, of course.

B) If I was upstairs, I would grab my teddy bear I’ve had since I was a…
