an end and a beginning
I’d meant to post on Friday, with this post as my Eye Candy. But life ran away from me, and I haven’t had a chance to sit or think or even really breathe since Thursday. Here’s why.

I ordered a laptop–the cheapest MacBook out there–on Sunday, and it arrived today! Oh, I am in love. It is delightful. And now it needs a protective sleeve. I’m thinking of trying my hand at felting for the first time. I’ve got some Manos I snagged from my mom that’s not doing anything . . . This may be my weekend adventure. I worry a bit about fuzz getting on the computer, though–anyone have experience with this?
The past two nights I’ve had mid-evening plans, so have killed the time beforehand by working on another pair of Pomatomus. On Tuesday my friend and I sat in Clark Park, and I knit before yoga, and last night the boy and I sat outside with coffee in West Philly, and I knit before I met a friend for dinner. I don’t know how in the last week I’ve become this bold knit-in-public sort of girl, but it’s been liberating. I notice people giving the work a peek, but no one has asked me what I’m working on or what I’m doing. Heck, last night we stopped a woman with a clipboard to ask her what the heck she was doing (a project for a city planning class), so I’m fully prepared for the questions, but none are forthcoming.
I rarely post only to complain on the blog. But I’ve got a short list of things that bug me, and I wanted to make them public.
I’ve been incredibly self-absorbed lately, and I haven’t had much content for blogging. I’m busy with various other things, and though I am knitting, well, nothing is exciting to look at or interesting to talk about. No Eye Candy this week; I barely took any photos all week and exploring my old photos just didn’t excite me.
But I do have a nice story to tell, from our weekend adventures.
