Joy is to fun what the deep sea is to a puddle.
I just spent the morning buddy chatting and laughing with a new friend while knitting, drinking tea, and eating crepes. It was lovely.

I am doing a very good impression of Shrek right now. I keep telling myself that I am going to pamper myself one night.

Yarn! And more...

Sometimes I really want to imitate a cave turtle.
I saw one at the National Zoo when Pua and I visited. Granted the name might be wrong but it is his mode of defense I want to emmulate. When sensing danger he finds a convient hole and sticks his head into it followed by as much of his body as he can ( Read more... )
