Happy Wednesday
Optimistic Pessimism… a Blogiversary
I hope those who celebrated had a very Merry Christmas yesterday. Today at ye old blog we are celebrating our 4th Blogiversary!
Wow I can’t believe it’s been 4 years over at ye old blog. Honestly, it’s starting to feel like a marriage now or at the very least I should be graduating or getting some sort of certificate. But no, all that’s happening is it’s about to turn 2012 and still I don’t have that flying car that I those formative years of watching The Jetsons had me believing I would be having by the year 2012. I’m feeling a little duped about it all.
Oh well no use crying over cars that just go on wheels or dreams of years past. Time to move forward. Time for this strangely hopeful pessimist to start thinking about the year ahead. Someone told me this year would be the year of Kwana. I sure like the sound of that though I so find it hard to wrap my head around. See though I’m forever hopeful, I’m one of those ‘always waiting for the other shoe to drop’ type of folks. And I guess if you’re always waiting for that shoe to drop you can’t see the great boot trying to lift you from behind. I know bad analogy so I’ll just stop here and say… Thank you all so much for sticking with me these 4 years. The semi-famous Jackster thanks you too. And we are optimistic about great things for all of us in 2012. Cheers! Fingers crossed for fab boots for all of us!
So tell me, how are you thinking about the year ahead? Are you optimistic?
Much love,

Final Knit Countdown
Yikes! Knitting today. That’s not the Yikes part of this post. The Yikes of it is the state of my DS’s hat. It’s a far cry from being done in time for Christmas. But with so much to get ready for the holiday where does one fine the time to sit and knit. Oh longing for the simpler times.
I hope you get a simple moment today.

Like my play on words there? Ok so it may not be the best but I thought it was cute. Know what I like even more. My finished needlepoint. It’s all done and hung and looking pretty in my bedroom. I’m giving myself a little pat in the back for this one. And so happy that the DS gave me a pat too saying mom it looks so cool and vintage. You could teach a class at my school. Maybe get a cut in my tuition. Hmm something to think about. Of course I’d have to move and get an apartment…. Hmmm…. something else to think about. LOL!
A big thank you to my friend Laura for her wonderful needlepoint lesson. I’m afraid I’m hooked.
Now back to my knitting I have a holiday hat to finish for the son which at this point may turn into a New Year’s hat.
Tell me are you a Raider of The Lost Arts?

Seriously? It’s today already!
It’s that time of year, just a little over a week before Christmas and the holiday Madness is in full swing. So much to do, so many to prepare for. Did you do this? Oh gosh, still have to get that. I wonder what is the last possible day to get those cards in the mail? And really? She an NOT be serious about putting THAT on her wish list. What are we the Rockefellers?!
Oh and is Aunt you know who coming? Because if she is than you may need to call the pharmacist for that special prescription. Sigh.
But don’t worry. It will all work out. Take a minute just for you and breath. In the end what will be, will be. Friends and family will gather for the day and hugs and smiles will be had. Food will be eaten. Laughs will be laughed and yeah even on a perfect day, Aunt you know who will be judging. So….
