Gerald said what he always says when I'm being pissy: "Just decide to be happy and be happy." Which always pisses me off even more, and I start slamming cupboards a little louder than normal, and I wipe the counters because I'm obsessive like that, and I keep my head down and stomp around, and then I realize that he's right.
So I recalled why I stayed up so late - the pink slippers.
And so I put Counting Crows on the compact disc player, then I sat down in my knitting chair with a cup of hot tea and performed a very satisfying three-needle bind off on my new slippers.
Goodbye Orange Crush, hello Raspberry Sherbert!

ooooooooooo. i LOVE the handpainted originals. they are yummy enough to eat. speaking of the counting crows, jose bought a new cd and it is fab. brandi carlile. if you take back the cd that for some reason you have two of, you could buy this one (for yourself).
oh, and btw, i totally don't get the three needle bind off. i think i do it differently every time i do it.
i love the three needle bind off. i think that the felting book i own has diagrams, which may be why i know how to do it so fantastically. didn't i explain it to you once in an email?
probably. and knowing my memory, i probably forgot the whole interaction. that's why jose and i have a great relationship. because every time he tells me something, it is just like the first time.
! I just realized, my first official knitting project ever, from a kit, was slippers - I made them in 5th grade! If I could do it back then, I could probly do it again, hunh?
