Knitting Knot

It's ridiculously hard to motivate myself to get knitting again. I still still have a million gazillion projects that need to be finished, and I don't want to pick up a single one. I apparently would rather spend all my time in front of the computer.

Maybe it's because all these projects are in the beginning stages and aren't nearly close to being finished so it's not like I can go "Oh! I'll just finish up this one!" and get into the groove again. They're all just monotonous and boring stitches too. Or I have to frog and start over on some... I did start a new scarf with a heavy cable (getting ready for next winter YAY me!!) but, I didn't like the gauge and I don't have any bigger needles, so I have to go buy some. And I stepped on the needle that it's on and broke it (grama's old plastic ones so no real big lose). I have the knitting blahs. Maybe I should try spinning for a bit. I'm sure increasing my yarn supply EVEN more will motivate me to knit more. NOT!!

In other news, I opened up my Etsy Store!! Yay!! You can now by my stitch markers and jewelry sets at Pandalina.etsy.com. And what ever I decide to make and put up there in the future. I just got a yummy book on how to make soaps and bath bombs GLEE!! Need to get supplies for that now. Why do all the things I like to do require me spending money I don't have? Well, I guess that's why they have etsy! Good thing there's a good sale at Michael's this weekend.

I've also got to get a shaped cake pan for a 4 y/o. My little princess Quinn's birthday!! Haven't made one of my cakes in FOREVER!! So yummy!!

So worn out...

It feels like I've been doing a million things, really I've only been doing about a thousand.

Being a nanny for 3 kids under the age of 6 is really tiring, and aggravates my sore back, which I still need to go get fixed either by massage of chiropractic measures. And knitting or crafting in general isn't as relaxing as one might think. Anything besides sleeping apparently uses at least one muscle that is related to the soreness that is my back.

The interesting part about my back pain is that it moves around. Right now it's a neck level, but last week it was lower down. And it switches sides. It's like I have a restless symbiont or something...

Out of the blue
You got me so good
Saw your big goofy grin
And melted for it all over again
Gotta me singing to myself
So completely hooked on you
Wanna touch you and tease you
Kiss you, hold you, caress you
Laugh til my sides hurt
Fuck til the sun come up and then a little more
Something casual, something new
Something fun, for now that will do
Tell me all your dirty deeds
About the you I thought I knew
Each day just makes it more enticing
Lost all my inhibitions for you
Help me explore the bad side in me
The freak in the closet
Wants to come out and play with you
