Unhealthy

I just looked back at what I've posted this week, and I realized I failed to mention one kind of important thing. I've been home sick this whole week, and today was my first day back on my normal schedule. I did benefit from the huge increase in crafting time (did I mention I finished the back of TTT?) but now I have a ton of work to make up and the tables are turned. Little to no crafting time, and lots and lots of work. Oh well!

Anyway, the title of this post has a double meaning. In just 24 hours, I have developed an unhealthy obsession with The Avengers. Seriously. I've been Pinterest-stalking them and everything. Plus, my brother agreed to watch the first Iron Man movie with me tomorrow night. (Provided I do enough of the aforementioned make up work.) It's going to be awesome! (And if it's not, I may feel hurt and betrayed. I wasn't kidding when I said this wasn't healthy.

I like ending posts with random words. How about... schadenfreude?

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone; I hope you had an awesome day! (Yeah, I just used a semicolon. Deal with it.) For dinner, my family had heart-shaped pancakes! They were awesome! Plus, I got this awesome mug. It had Yoda on it! (Look here. It's the one with Yoda on it.) It had candy hearts in it too. Best gift ever!

In regards to what I said yesterday, I have one finished lab, one completed essay, and a set of answered questions. However, I do not have anything you guys will are about. Unless you want to know why it's important to pass down wisdom and experience or the rate of acceleration of a mini Thomas the Tank Engine. (I lead an exciting life, can you tell?)

Summarizing, I had pancakes and I have no life. Shocker? I thinks not. Have a great rest of your day!

Oh, right, that too.

I'm not going to lie. I am totally and completely discombobulated. (OK, I thought there was going to be a red line, but there isn't. How awesome is that?) I took a trip to my state capitol on Monday (this one), which, while I had nothing to do on Monday afternoon, means I had a ton of stuff to catch up on today. so now I have a lab, an essay, and a whole bunch of questions to answer and not a lot of time to do it. But it was so totally worth it.

That point of that paragraph was to say that I am not going to be doing a whole bunch of work on fun things today. :( I did do a little bit of TTT last night:

I know using the same picture twice is sort of cheating, but it looks almost exactly the same, except I'm now creeping up on 11 inches. (And by the way, the thing in the top left corner is a candle in a votive holder, not a toe or something. I just realized how weird that looked.)

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day!!! Not my favorite holiday, I'm not going to lie. I did get my best friend a pencil and a fake flower. Like I always say, we're classy folk around here. :) See ya!

Thoughts About Creativity

I've been doing some thinking the last few days, and I wanted to share it with you. (Mostly it's a coverup, but don't let that dissuade you from reading this.)

What is creativity? According to this dictionary, it's ...... the ability to transcend traditional ideas, rules, patterns,relationships, or the like, and to create meaningful new ideas, forms, methods, interpretations, etc.; originality,progressiveness, or imagination...... But what does all that really mean? I don't like breaking or bending rules, so does that mean I'm not creative? There are a lot of people that can't knit or crochet much without a pattern. Does that mean we aren't creative? I love creative writing (and I'm pretty good at it, I think), so does that automatically mean I'm creative? Do people that sit and daydream all day qualify as creative? (Because a lot of people would call them lazy.) Was Einstein's work creative? He came up with new ideas, so were his scientific discoveries creative?

What do you think? Am I putting too much thought into this? (There's always the possibility that I am stark raving mad. You know that might be it.)

Today, you all have to click on this link. It leads to pictures of very cute babies!!!! Oh, and a knitting pattern. But mostly the babies!! I'm not even going to put a picture, so you all have to go look. So there. (Seriously, though, go look at the pattern for HarVest and Pumpkin HarVest from Unfurled.)

To Do To Start:

• the house emblems on my HP cross stitch
• handsew a zipper to the brown skirt
• sew on ten sequins every day I work on these other things
