Oops. I totally should know that by now. I learned that I really do need to put the computer away if I’m going to do reading/problem sets/any work at all ever. Oops.

I really screwed up an entire round of a tank top and had to tink back. Never again. :P I learned that when a pattern says to place a marker for the beginning of a round, to actually place a marker instead of trying to go by the cast on tail.

I'm trying to figure out facebook but why am I cleaning a fishtank and harvesting strawberries on a farm there? Someone got me started doing that. I don't need to learn I don't have time for that stuff. I know I like wollmeise and I should have added this sooner, but we are on our way to the ocean. I’ve learned I’m a procrastinator.

I was recently laid off from my job and "asked" to put in two weeks. They played games with me, telling me that if I didn't comply I may not be offered a severance package. My friends really rallied around me and gave me not only strength and hope, but projects to help me with this tough time.... yarn, m&ms, goodies of all sorts. Friends are the best!

When she does it, you will inevitably come home to hanks of yarn all over the house and if any had been wound into cakes, those will be pulled out and tangled into an amazing web all over the house. Providing the stupid humans in the house hours of de-tangling and winding "entertainment".

Okay, and maybe some yarn. :) Since my husband has been sick for so long recently, I’ve learned that you shouldn’t take life for granted, and that there is nothing more important than your health.
