Y'know, many moons ago, when I was young and idealistic, I fancied that I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher. Now that I'm old (and cranky) and have to push people's chairs under their desks and 'shhh' them all the time, I think perhaps it's damn good thing the kindergarten gig didn't work out.
WHY does anyone need to tell a grown adult more than one time, "Please push your chair in so I don't fall over it." ??????????? And yet I say it all the time. And still yet, that damn chair is right back out in the middle of the room.
ION, I worked on my mom's Christmas pressie last night. She wanted a teddy bear made out of one of her old uniform shirts. And yes, I put it off to the last minute, shut up! Anyway, the head is the hardest part and of course, I sewed and then ripped out three different seams before I got it to an acceptable state. And I really hope I have eyes and don't have to go to Michael's.
Also, on the way home my car stalled out in traffic. Rather than get aggravated at it, I just pulled off and waited for the traffic to dissipate somewhat. I had no book to read, but luckily had both yarn and needles, so I started knitting a new scarf. I have been knitting like a knitting thing since I went to the beach in Sept--my aunt taught me how to purl, cast on, and bind off. Prior to that, I only knew knit. Woot!
