Hola seniors y senoritas,
Happy Autumn 1st!!!
I've come to a conclusion. Dwelling on my mom's impending death is not healthy. Instead I'm going to try and focus on the positive. My mom has made it to autumn. This seems like an amazing feat and i'm overjoyed by it. Plus, she's going home today. She will be comfortable and happy in her own bed. I'm happy. I plan on buying her fall potted mums to put on her porch, in every different color I can find. It will give her an excuse to occasionally get out of bed and go outside.
Tomorrow is Stiches. A very big yarn convention. Its 4 days long and happens every year. I feel kind of guilty for going and doing something for myself, but I made plans to go months ago. I need time away from everything, even if its only for a few hours. I plan on buying lace-weight yarn to make shawls with all fall and winter. Staring at death head on has made me fall in love with the idea of heirloom knitting, of making peices I can pass down to my children. So lace work will be my focus. Its intricate, and difficult and it takes a long time. I want something I can put my sweat and tears into.
I'm looking for those with an artistic flair. I plan on getting a tattoo for my birthday in honor of my mom. Its going to have her favorite flower in it. I have this picture in my head of a big orange snapdragon, surrounded by moon flowers and morning glories, with vines entangling everything. I need someone to help me design it, since i'm so not good at realistic drawing. Is there anyone out there that can help me?
I've been so caught up with everything I feel like I've ignored everybody. how are you?

Older and wiser? Heh... not likely.
The birthday was good. I'm feeling a little neglected though, on the boyfriend front. He's broke, you see... so I got no presents. And he's home with his daughter most nights so we can't go out. And I'm busy too much so I feel guilty that I can't be with him.
Wow, didn't mean to complain to you. Really I'm very happy and i have little to complain about.
and thanks for being so kind - i always like getting comments from you....
