Television has not been so entertaining lately (and the news is depressing), so I had the brainy idea of digging out some yarn for a rug. The one at my back door needs replaced badly, and I figured I could whip up something.
I opened the tote and found yarn that had a half-way crocheted dishcloth attached to it. That was the "other one" I found a few days ago.
Slumping my shoulders, and lowering my head, I felt like those pesky projects where my worst nightmare this winter. I straightened back up, smiled, and did what anyone else would do. I ripped that booger out, and wound that yarn back on.
Then I grabbed a few more colors of yarn, and got to work.

I got "Notered" ~ Granny Square Crochet Bookmark ~ Random Tidbits
I woke up with a hot cup of coffee, and sat down to read my email and discovered I was "notered" by Youngest Daughter.
(The history of the "noters": for years we exchanged uplifting notes. I'd put them in their lunches, and Youngest loved to write me back often).
Here is what I found in my email today:
"Soo I don't really have anything to write about but I love you mommy. You're amazing and you care for me and I love you. Also check facebook :) I couldn't help but brag about how amazing my mom is.. I love you. You do a lot for me and there should be more than one day of the year that I show my gratitude to you and how much I appreciate you, and of course the work you do for me. You are AMAZING. I love you. I love you times 10000000 <3 :d="" are="" br="" hearts="" lol="" love="" mom="" symbols="" those="" you="">

That just made my day start even better. I did hack into Hubby's facebook to see what she posted too (Sigh....in a good way).
Lookie, lookie! (just trying to be funny) I found another one! (actually I found two, but I'll explain the other one on another post).
