For us ladies with nothing else going on in our lives...
It has been a week today that I started back to school. So far so good. Maymesters go by so incredibly fast. Next Tuesday is my final..already had a mid-term and the homework hasn't killed me yet...yet....I repeat..cause knowing me tomorrow we will be bombarded...but so far everything seems really doable. Only problem is now i need to figure out how to make extra money without going to work full time. Ebay is going okay but I need to come up with some more products to satisfy the outgoing yarn. I also need to find someone to build my website for me. I have learned that no matter how many html books Petty buys me I can't seem to want to wrap my brain around it. Trying to recruit a son to figure it out but that's pulling teeth. haha... So yesterday I was at the nail salon getting a pedicure with my mom and I was working on a scarf for her. Yes I do know that it is 100 degrees here in Texas, but I promised her a scarf in this luscious Jaeger. So I figured it would be easy enough to finish it as a weekend project and she will have it just in time for next winter. What winters we have here anyway. That's a whole other world of hurt right there. Anyhooo we were in the salon and I was waiting for my turn. This loud mouth old hag was talking and talking and gossiping and annoying the peeeee out of me. I was trying to drown her out when I heard the lady that was doing her nails say..." I have always wanted to knit or crochet since I came to America". This sparked my interest.....I have taught a lot of people lately the basics of both so I figured I would offer to teach her when loud mouth old hag says....." Oh dear you don't want to knit or crochet...there is toooooooo much involved. You have to use different needles for crochet and different needles for knitting..(ummmm they are called hooks for crochet) there are loops and rows you have to memorize. It's just too much dear." Okay so i'm thinking to myself this lady just doesn't have the knack for the craft or doesn't think that the nail lady can handle it. I start to open my mouth when the 2x4 hit my head....."besides dear, women that crochet or knit have nothing else going on in their lives. There just isn't enough time in a day for that nonsense." WHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! seriously!!!!! I work, go to school, raise two boys, have a social life and still manage (LORD ONLY KNOWS HOW) to get some yarny goodness mixed in it all....I sooooo wanted to slap the hag. Instead I smiled and kept on knitting....(cause I'm a wuss). I do plan on going back sometime soon and offer to teach the salon lady. Why should anyone be deprived of knowing something as enjoyable as playing
with yarn? Maybe I will take the sock I am working on...4 dpn's flying at once would've shut up the old hag :)

You should have stabbed her with one of your needles.
