Keeping Positive..

I haven’t been able to stop working on my new “V” stitch project, nor have I been able to stop thinking about Tia Mowry quick fix cook book. Which I plan on doing a book review on, (its that GOOD) but my eyes are ready to close.

I can’t believe I was talking on the phone for over an hour. As I rethink about what was said and what I heard my mind is still unclear. I let a few friends read my book, with no respond, but when I found an editor she said, “Your book isn’t good, but I will still publish it for you.” That would have cost me $3,000.00, and she was willing to do it in payments. NOT!

Then as I was enjoying my conversation when “Thomas” called me once again. Its been seven months and I am wondering why he is still reaching out? Then again a few times I cought myself, before I could do the same. I did this before, I stopped talking to him, and reached out, but once again hurtful words came from his mouth. It doesn’t matter if we were friends for over 20 years.

I have decided I only want to keep positive people in my small group of friends and that is the reason why I Can Not answer his calls anymore. Well as I am once again watching The Ouran Host Club and going to enjoy the rest of my Friday night. Time for a cup of hot lemon water…..

A New Stitch

I couldn’t go to sleep until I started a new project. It may not be the right color, but I am enjoying working on my grey”V” stitch all in one scarf.

This came from a different project. If I remember I will write about it later, but its time to say, “Good~Night.”

The Ocean Sound…

I am still trying to understand this new device 

called, “Roku,” and it’s a half love and half  hate gadget. 

I was a little upset, because I kept waking up without any sound. 

A question: Have you ever heard of listening to the ocean?

My answer was, “no.”

The next thing I noticed the dark  sky, waves of ocean water gracing a dark colored beach, and it actually sounded like the ocean. I could almost imagine I was on the beach relaxing.

As I closed my eyes so relaxed that I could feel myself going to sleep. I remembered seeing a candle called, ‘ocean breeze,’ and wondered if it would smell like the ocean?

Another question I am going to have to wait and find out what that answer is, because the sun has gone down for the night. I am ready to do the same.  I don’t think I will be clicking on the ocean sound tonight….

A New Crochet Project…

-I was asked to make a shawl using two colors, but I don’t really have enough yarn for that. I will looked through a few videos and see what i can find. I don’t believe I have enough yarn, but I am going to try anyway and see what happens……

#3  I tried this one, and it was easy to follow. I really didn’t like the way this yarn was looking, so this is another “no” for my next project. I will try it with a different kind of yarn.

– I did go through a few more videos about crocheting a shawl, but none really held my attention for too long. I may not have enough yarn to do this pattern justice. I am going to do it anyway and if I have to redo it – oh well, because I liked the shawl from Naztazia…..
