St. Valentine's has it in for me ...
Last year at this time I was mourning a failed relationship. It wasn't a long or deep one, but definately one that I had some high hopes for.
This year. I got propositioned by a married man. Somewhat flattering, but also completely insulting. He actually gave me a valentine candy heart, the small ones with short sayings printed on them. It read "don't tell". Sh**head. I don't dislike this fellow. But I am disappointed in him. Then the next day, I met his wife and two of his three children, I had met the third previously. I didn't say anything. I was a little flattered that he felt I was attractive, but also felt demeaned that he felt that I was so low as to go along with it all. As I was leaving from our conversation, on good terms mind you, he said .... "if you ever lose your inhibitions, you know where to find me."
I would have to lose more than my inhibitions, how about my morality, my faith, my self respect, my honesty and my mind!
Okay. On to better subjects. Double tech for the play is over. I have my doubts about the show, but it gets better with each rehearsal so who knows. I am THRILLED beyond measure that my friend Mary has joined us to run the lights for the show. We will be in the booth together and that should be a lot of fun. In fact, I'm heading over to her place soon. We have to have our usual discussion about what we're going to eat before we watch American Idol. Deciding what to have for dinner is more difficult for us than knitting patterns and running light and sound boards.
And someone from the Knitty board has made my day! I have been struck by a Random Act of Kindness! She sent me a book, KNITTING PRETTY. It has 30 projects, and several are just what I've been looking for. I can't wait to get started! However, I'm currently working on a baby blanket for a co-worker and friend. I'm taking the Knitty pattern "Wavy" and quadrupled it. We'll see how this turns out. I had to frog two abortive starts and wasn't real thrilled about it, but it's getting better.
