Keeping a journal
I have always wanted to keep a journal, but every time it ended with about two, maybe four entries (if I was feeling motivated). Usually my journal entries would for the most part be entirely negative. A recent argument I had, some aspect of work that I hated, would dominate my earlier journal attempts. Other times I would sit down to my journal and think, what should I write about, it was just a...

Crocheted wool blanket
I completed this blanket awhile ago, but am so horrible at taking pictures that I was discouraged to even try. So here it is. Super warm, a little small (hoping it will stretch), and is a b*tch when you hear the all familiar static sound. ZAAAPPPP. Btw, can you spot the kitteh?

Today
I spent the whole day in my pj’s, hung out with my love, baked a shit ton of cookies, watched #mlg, and crocheted this bad boy.
PAPOW! ACTION SHOT!
Anyways, working on the other one right now :)
Totally in love with the pic below and was my inspiration into trying to crochet arm warmers.
Should I do my own tree or something else?

Second crochet bag completed
I had plans of selling my first one online, but as my mom has made it very clear that bag is hers, I had to make a new one in order to keep up with the bet I have going on with my husband. As soon as I get home I will have it pictures posted.

Just a thought - talking people down from the...
So I’ve devised a new plan for companies. Companies should introduce a “nice” test. People calling in would have to answer a series of questions like; how upset are you, is this an ongoing issue, and the most important, do you feel it’s ok to scream at the reps answering the call (with/without obscenities)? Then if you don’t pass, maybe get redirected to soothing music, or passed to the employees...
