This is a way of making myself write something coherent and grammatically correct almost every day. I'm opinionated and need an outlet. I'm also prone to flights of fancy. Thanks for stopping by. |
| I already know how to crochet. I never learned how to do anything except a plain knit stitch. There's a new quality yarn shop in town advertising free knitting classes. I'd love to do it. Most yarns are poor quality these days, and yarn shops are almost obsolete. Even Wal-Mart dropped yarn. The neighborhood association does the candles in the sandbags each year at Christmas. We always get some. It's a Christmas Eve ritual to put them out. This year, they want some volunteers to assemble them in advance. More people might participate if they don't have to put the sand in the bags and then go out in the cold and insert candles. It's time consuming just lighting them. I thought it might be fun to get together with some neighbors and chat while we put sand in bags and put in boxes for delivery, then place candles, so all they do is put in their driveways and along the road. But I just committed to NaNoWriNoMo, which will take a chunk out of every day in November. I have to work, keep house and cook for others. There will presents to wrap, decorating, and cards to mail; and I;ll help my Dad with his shopping and wrapping. Then there's special holiday cooking for company, tricks or treats, and yearly events. I want to keep blogging and reading and walking. There is no time for candles or knitting. And I'm saying "No" to all special events or tasks after October. Packages for the needy and projects for the local school are in the norm. I want more hours in the day. |
