My fingers run from keyboards these days
After sitting at a desk all day, I can no longer bear to come home to sit at a desk for any length of time.
And so I don’t write. Because sitting at a desk and typing is work and I want to come home and do something that isn’t work.
I will find my muse again. But for now, patience.
And randomness.
I’ve been knitting a lot. Knit Picks will make a small fortune off of me and Ravelry will have to buy more bandwidth.
I’ve watched entirely too much HGTV. I moved in with my boyfriend in November and somehow the move from apartment to house flipped the desire-to-watch-HGTV switch on. I hadn’t previously thought that was possible. I’m hoping I outgrow it, but then I’d have to find something else to do with my eyes and ears while my fingers are busy knitting.
I make weekly trips to the grocery store, which is about eight times more often than when I lived alone.
I filled out a FAFSA and that’s all I’m saying about that.
When I was in high school and had stopped growing taller and was stuck at a pathetic 5′2″, I heard a woman say she had a growth spurt in her early twenties. So I hoped and waited, and I’m taller now than in college. I have taken this as irrefutable proof of the power of positive thinking, so I am convinced that I will win the lottery any day now, probably tonight.
I hadn’t been to the dentist since I was 19 or 20, not because I’m afraid of the pain a dentist so loves to inflict, but because I was concerned that all dentists were as worthless as the ones I saw as a child. But I was also convinced that after years of neglect, my teeth were surely rotting out of my head, so I went to the dentist. No cavities. Clearly negative thinking has no impact on outcomes.
Now I just have to survive getting my wisdom teeth out. May 7.
And, as a reminder, I can often be found blathering in short form on Twitter. I am told I am entertaining in 140-character servings.
Hi Katie, I’m glad you’re back. I think I agree with your Twitter friends, I giggled a few times while reading this post. I myself watched home reno programs all the way up until I owned my own home. For some reason now that I can redecorate, I’m uninspired. I tend to watch movies while crocheting (I’m not a knitter…yet) and have watched the entire 800 hours of my Lord of the Rings 12 disc extended edition multiple times. Tonight, however, it will be Kung Fu Panda.

nice post, HGTV is great i can’t get enough of it and the food channel, especially with the cake challenges they put on nowadays.

Hey, I tried to follow you on Twitter but it says “You have been blocked from following this account at the request of the user.”
Which I doubt you’ve done since.. why would you block a stranger, y’know?
I think it’s a Twitter error? Has it happened to anyone elsE?

I’m 5′2 as well but I doubt that I will grow any more than that. >_< I wouldn’t be able to not write. I am stuck to my laptop night and day. I find myself updating my blog more than once a day. I have tried to take up knitting, but I found out that I am incapable of learning the skill. T-T Oh and I fear any type of doctor.
