I've been meaning to post this picture ever since I took it at Fulton Farm several weekends ago. This isn't the pumpkin I came home with but I had to take his picture and give him a couple of googly eyes.
Today was proof that I'm not made of steel. I think I thought of things I wanted to tell Jake no less than a dozen times and going the entire day without emailing him or getting an email from him was strange (we would email at least once or twice a day). We also talked on our drive home every day so that was really hard - it's the first time I've cried since we actually talked. Thank goodness my drive is only about ten minutes long.
I had plans to meet up with a few women I met from Ravelry tonight but by the time I got home I was feeling pretty worn out. But I made myself go! I forced myself into the shower for a little wake up, gathered my things and hit the road. Of course, once I got to where the Panera was supposed to be, I couldn't find it which drove me to near tears. But I eventually found it and had a good time. I can't imagine what I'd feel like right now if I'd just stayed home.
I think I'm going to frog the Noro hat I was working on. It's a beehive pattern of k4, p4 but I was k4, p3 for some reason. I kept losing track of the purls, I guess. Over and over and over. And it's huge so I think I'm going to drop it down a few stitches (although doing that hasn't worked all that well for me in the past).
And I completely forgot to return Knocked Up on my way home so I have to run back out. That reminds me, I finally watched Snow Cake. It's like I was saving it for a special occasion when I knew I could just sit down and watch it uninterrupted, without feeling the need to do something else with my hands. It was certainly worth the weight - Alan Rickman is just dreamy and this was such a good role for him. That reminds me, I have bunny ears on the television in my bedroom which also double as a picture frame and held a photo of Jake. Yesterday I replaced it with the Rickman photo Kim included in that awesome Knitter's Hunk prize package. ;-)
