I feel like I'm doing ok. I two resolutions, possibly 3 if you count the standing resolution that I have every year.

1) (the standing resolution) - open the mail.
2) be a good mom.
3) take responsibility for my frustration.

that third one encompasses quite a bit. it boils down to remembering that people can't read my mind. and instead of being all pissy to people when they don't do what i want, or expect, i am trying to communicate when i'm going nuts.

so far so good.

mr man, just now: "honey, did you find your stitch?"
me: huh, what? oh, uh, no, i'm done.
mr man: (as i type this) are you trying to google your stitch?

today we went out for saturday errands. one of them was to look at the new goodwill in north seattle. i know some people are a little snippy about thrift stores, but mr man and i have very good luck overall. we've found some beautiful things. some times it's crap. but the hunt for something good is fun.

today, today it was good. a heath bowl (insignificant crack) for fifty cents, two hull small bean pots in pristine condition, $3 each, and best, 2, count them 2, denyse schmidt quilts for $23. score. they are blue strings attached pattern.
