Wow. You can knit any which way you want: right or left, English or Continental or Peruvian or something you made up. She’s covering for her poor teaching skills. Come to Arts & Drafts: Rio Rita 7pm Thursdays. Toughest crafters in the city!
Best news! I will be in touch.

When is your 5K?
Never, because the streets are all, “get outta here, you.”

My mom taught me knitting left handed. She just reversed the steps and it really wasn’t that difficult for either her or I (she is right handed).
Yeah. It’s definitely reversible; I don’t know what the teacher’s deal was. I learned righty because I was given no choice. It sucked. I spent...

Am I missing out on health benefits or something that “righties” are so called privilege to?
If you signed up for a calligraphy class, would you, as a dominant righty, be ok with the teacher giving you no choice but to start learning this new skill with your left hand?
No? Aw come on, it’s a new skill;...

What do you mean by “you people”
Privileged righties, denying my lefts; trying to make me conform to your norms!

Oof.
Reached a stopping point in organizing/purging/cleaning. Vacuumed, mopped, broke down cardboard boxes. Took the trash out.
Not even 15 minutes later there’s a knock at my door.
A 2’x2’x1’ box from my mom was delivered, full of some random things of mine plus all of her old dresses (I did ask for them…).
In related news, I now have Jenga and a few butterfly-related...

Organizing
more like bore-ganizing, amirite?

That’s an awesome itinerary! Plan ahead for London because of the Olympic Games though. There’s a boat from Dublin, but lodging may be hard!
It’s aiming high! [Defeated grumble…] I just became aware of the London Olympics this week. London will probably get skipped, maybe for Brussels or Erfurt. Looking at it from here,...

How to start ALL of the rumors.
Friend: I want to have a baby just so I don't have to go to happy hour.
Me: Best text ever. Just lie and say there's a baby baking. Hell. Say you're carrying mine for me. Blame it all on me.

Is this real life?
First thing this morning, my boss sent an email to tell me I don’t have to be in the office if I don’t want to between now and an important meeting in February. This after last week when he said, “you know, you don’t always have to come in every week unless something big’s happening.”

I can't yet tell
whether I’m bummed or relieved that the doubling spike in outbound flight prices from Austin in mid-to-late March (damn you / thank you, SXSW) may keep me grounded and passing on two 90th birthdays and a wedding where I’m friends with both halves of the couple.
There’s a fine line between excited and overwhelmed in my world.

Mary Antwinet is famous for saying “let the meat cake.” She was a leader of the French revelation. She was very popular and fashionable until she died from guilty.
