Wow! I went almost a week without posting, boohoo. What a week though, ugh.
Busy at work: SB left the Marketing Dept for Publications on Wednesday, March 1. It is very weird without her. You know how life is always changing and we all need to roll with the flow, but there is something about work dynamics that when things change, rolls are re-defined, people move on, new people come on board, it is always an adjustment. I welcome challenges and change, don't get me wrong, but staff adjustments for are team are HUGE because we only have 4 peeps total on our team (now 3). Personality and energy dynamics change so much. We do not have a new coordintor in the hopper yet, so stay tuned!
Personally, this week was very emotional for me, which sucked, because I have been pretty damn happy and solid for quite a while now. Without getting into specifics, I had two instances that really hurt me happen in one day. One had to do with being rejected and the other was feeling like second best, which in a sense are the same thing and that is why is was so hard for me I think, a double whammy in 24 hours! But basically, I felt unappreciated and disposable. Whether the actions come from friends or strangers, it feels like being kicked in the stomach when you are already down. Like all your good deeds, true concerns, and selfless acts of friendship mean absolutely nothing. So in a nutshell, it was a bad day. I resolved most of it, some of it I could not do anything about but find resolution within myself. It is just so hard when you do things out of the goodness of your heart, just because it is what you do and it seems like it means nothing to others.
Last night, Friday, was Knit Night at Village Yarn and Tea in Shoreline, WA. The first Friday of every month they keep the store open late and from 6-9 people can come in and socialize, knit, shop, drink tea, eat, etc... It is so much fun! Last night I think we had 8 of us. It has become quite and event, so much so that Lisa Hoggart left her husband and kids at home and celebrated her birthday with us, knitting! My wrap is coming along nicely! Two more balls to go and I am done! Yeah!
Looks like they had a visitor from the Seattle PI write a review on them! http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/food/259820_coffee17_villageyarntea.html
I bought a cool little magazine called Knit.1 You can see it here: http://www.knit1mag.com/ Seems totally cool! I can not wait to read it! And check this out tomorrow: Don't miss the premiere episode of Oxygen Network's brand new show, Stitchcraft, featuring Vogue Knitting editor extraordinaire Adina Klein! First episode airs Sunday, March 5, at 3pm.
Anyhoo, here are some pics for the day:

Ocho's new bed which Sophie keeps pulling off the trunk so she can squeeze what she can into it which isn't much!
This is what it looks like outside right now.

Hi Hil.. I enjoy reading your blog as I have saved it in my favorites and check on it daily to see what you have written. The bag and other pics look great. As far as your crummy week. Chin up! Our challenge in life is to love our friends AND our enemies.. which in a nutshell means when someone disappoints us we must look at the big picture and feel a measure of compassion and sympathy for them (whether they are ignorant, selfish or narrowminded etc). Don't let anyone tarnish your shine!!! Keep on smiling! It's infectious!
