Husband Points
May 14th, 2009 | 
Author: It’s not like I really keep track of the good things he does for me, but today he was especially wonderful. I am a smoker, and in trying to quite, I have been looking at my behavioral patterns. It’s an amazing thing. If I am typing I don’t smoke, and if I have some kind of craft in my hands, I don’t smoke. Since I can’t bring my keyboard with me everywhere, my dear Hubby thought it would be a good idea for me to have some kind of yarn project with me. Be it crochet or knitting. For the house I can do my large knitting loom or machine projects, but on car trips or general days out, he thought it would be good for me to be able to take a ball of yarn and whatever tool I’d need to keep my hands and my mind busy so I don’t reach for that smoke. What makes him so wonderful about that? He bought me a stash of cool stuff today. I got a full set of crochet hooks, except the really tiny once, but they are on my list of things to get. I got a fully set of circular knitting needles and a fully set of double pointed needles (except the really small ones, 0, 00, and 000) He also got me another set of Knifty Knitter looms in another brand (My small clips to make the short loom even shorter fit on them!), since my children somehow managed to break a few of my looms. I still don’t know what they were doing to them. I also got a hairpin lace loom and two jumbo knitting needles (size 35) for my broom stick lace projects. Then of course I needed new yarn to play with all my new toys. All in all, I made out a like a bandit today, and it’s all because the hubby loves me so much. He got major bonus points today. It really is too bad I don’t keep track, or he’d be ahead of the game.

To Much To Do
I think my creative ADD is catching up to me. I need to start getting some of these projects done so I can start more, lol. Of course the girls keep adding to the list of things they want me to make for them – and I still haven’t decided what I am doing with all that yarn my mother gave me! I need to decided on a project and just start it. I want something just for me self in those bright, beautiful alpaca colors.
Writing Journal update HERE. So far so good with keeping track of everything – though doing that adds about 15 minutes to my day, so I have gut some time out somewhere else. I’ll figure it out.
