I’m a shy and quiet kind of person and I’ve never been interested in the things that are normal for my age group, so it’s always been difficult for me to make good friends. I thought that I made a bunch of friends at my last job, but I realize now that they were all just fair-weather friends. So I’ve decided to put myself out there and try to meet some real friends who aren’t just interested in someone to party with if and when they feel like it!

I weighed myself this morning and realized my weight is at an all-time high. 170lbs at 5’2! I really feel terrible about myself. I know I have a medical condition as a contributing factor, but I’ve let that be an excuse for too long. I don’t exercise and I eat to make myself feel better about the crap going on in my life. So, I’ve decided on Friday I’m going to go buy a bunch of healthy food and start my weight training/cardio regimen again. But I’m really going to miss junk food…

So, I’ve been knitting on and off for a year now but I’m definitely not ready to say I’ve done it yet! I’ve got knitting, purling, casting on and off, increasing, decreasing and cabling down. But I still want to learn to use circular kneedles and make socks and hats and what not. And I haven’t even attempted to alter a patern yet, it just boggles my mind. So I still have a lot to learn. I did ALMOST knit this beautiful cable scarf for my boyfriend… but at about the 3/4 mark it got stuck in the knitting basket and WOULD NOT come loose. I almost cried… sigh
