If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.
- Donald H. Rumsfield
Now, I have absolutely no idea of who Donald H. Rumsfield is (was?), but I could not think of a better quote to run into on my first week of yarn storming. (I have decided to steal the term yarn-storming from British knitsters Knit the City (http://knitthecity.com/) on the basis that I live in Vancouver shortly before the 2010 Olympics, and 'bomb' is probably the last word the city wants right now. Especially since I'm planning a wooly assault on Robson Square, right near the Hotel Vancouver, where all the foreign dignitaries are staying...can't see that going over too well with the coppers.)
Yarn-storming aside, this week has been crappy, as previously stated. All I really want to do tonight was bum around the house in my blue-striped pj's and slippy-slidy knitted slippers, making pancakes for dinner and watch a Hugh Grant double feature on the W Network. Instead, I have to go to the sixtieth birthday of my uncle, while my best friend is pissed off at me that I'm missing her birthday party, although she knows that this one is parent-mandated.
Anyways, here's to hoping that this week will be better than the last.
