Nothing to show
Not a lot of knitting has happened since Wednesday morning. In fact nothing at all. Yesterday at work I was trying to get some things printed, only to find out the printer ink is acting up. The later part of the afternoon was spent helping a customer get a sleeve back in order. Poor thing, I felt so bad for her. But she was close to the end of the repair by the time I left. Then last night was Sweater Club, where I guess I could walk around with some knitting in my hand, but I generally don't. Everyone is coming along beautifully! 2 are doing piece construction and 3 are doing all in one. But everyone benefits from hearing how each will approach their knitting. I try to let everyone hear how we are making adjustments on each knit piece so they can use the information in their own knitting if needed. It's a win win.
So today will probably yield little knitting. I work 10-2 and then once the girls are home we are off to run errands. Pick up mail for mom, get ears checked if I can get an appointment for the both girls, meet cousins at the pizza parlor for pizza and then we go sell Girl Scout cookies. I have some last minute orders to fill for friends, so I pick up the cookies I need and freeze my butt off selling to people walking out of Sam's. It is said we will have a space heater to heat us up. Not sure if that's a nasty rumor or truth! The past 2 years we have been inside the establishments we sold at. Maybe this year they will take pity on us and let us inside.
I do know tomorrow will provide opportunity to knit. We are starting a Shawl Ministry at the shop and I plan to be there bright and early to knit and meditate. Not sure what I will work on, but I will knit prayers into it for sure.
Had a brief moment this morning when I questioned "Why am I blogging today?". I knew I had nothing wonderful or earth shattering to share. But then I am reminded that I don't blog to be earth shattering. I couldn't blog to be funny if I tried. I would never blog to be nasty or pick fun, unless it's at myself. I have to remember that I blog to blog. To document my knitting, life and stupid pet tricks. Oh wait, I don't have a stupid pet. In fact, I don't even have a pet. I have never been good at diary keeping. I would start and quickly lose interest. Scrapbooking? Puhlease! I even have a Creative Memories Super Consultant for a SIL. I am not worthy! But for some reason, doing it electronically has stuck. Sure I don't write posts worthy of a Noble Prize. Who wants that pressure. I write about mundane things, anything. But at least it gets me up and at 'em, and I am using my brain and functioning like a normal human being. You can't imagine what I truly am like in the AM. Bear would be about the right comparison. So, even if there is no one out there reading, I will still blog about this event I call life. I am hoping it keeps me sharp, causes the brain cells to get moving and prevents stagnation. And just maybe the friendships I make through this blog will brighten my life, as well as those on the other end.
Blessings: The living we are able to afford due to Hubster's job. We don't live like Kings, Queens and Princesses, but we have what we need, want, and sometimes desire. Now to stop focusing on our own wants and desires and start helping others with their needs.
