The Bookish Girl

Hello, How are you, won’t you tell me your name?

Alas. LIFE has reared the ugly part of its head these past few weeks. FAMILY STUFF has taken much of my time and has left me at a loss for bloggy words. I was thinking the other day, it’s too bad the Internets isn’t more PRIVATE. I feel as though we could all learn a lot from each other and hear words of support when it comes to dealing with FAMILY STUFF THAT CANNOT BE PUBLISHED ON THE INTERNETS.

All I really have to say is: Has anyone figured out how to drive a car and knit AT THE SAME TIME?! Because, really, all of this would be a lot easier to deal with if I had that kind of action in my world.

Don’t worry…I’ll be back soon with loads of knitting content. The only way to really handle FAMILY STUFF is to knit – a lot.

Knit a row for me…

XO

    I’m sorry to hear that there’s “stuff” happening, and I wish you strength in dealing with it.

    Knitting while driving? Heck, that would explain a lot of the stuff that I see on the roads around here.

    i know what you mean about privacy – i feel like i’ve learned to much from online knitting friends already and sometimes i just want to gush out all my other problems because i know they could help.. and sometimes i do, but usually it’s stiff upper lip and all that.. ;( take care!

    and i’m afraid the only way to knit and drive at the same time is to live in l.a… because within five minutes max, you’re stuck in traffic. traffic = free hands. sure helps my stress level ;)

    a. I’m sorry things are difficult now.

    b. I can’t even read and knit at the same time.

    c. you can e-mail me if you want to unload to a stranger. I bet I’ve heard it all, even if I haven’t lived it all.

    d. start a new blog under a new name and say it like it really is. You’ll feel better.

    e. Or, draw odd, abstract images which only YOU know the meaning(s) of.

    f. be glad that my cancer is curable!!
