Yesterday, starstraf sent me a link to a knitting book, Naughty Needles: Sexy, Saucy Knits for the Bedroom and Beyond. The name of the author rang a bell for me, so I googled her. Ah, yes. Nikol Lohr, the hot and funny creator of Disgruntled Housewife and Out of the Frying Pan. I corresponded with her for a brief time (ages ago, back when I still lived on Tennessee) and relinquished to her my faboo Naughty Nurse outfit (actual nurse duds leftover from my Candy Striper days)when I started to put on my thyroid weight. It was good to see she's doing so well.

It's a rough morning for me today. I'm dealing with nasty menstrual cramps (the kind where I can't sit up straight) and a general feeling of distrust and disappointment with the world (a variety of factors). The weather isn't helping. The one thing that got me out of bed this morning (late, at 7:30--I forgot to set my alarm) is curieuse's wedding. I can't wait to see her, beautiful and shining with hope and love. The sight will surely help shake me out of this malaise, at least for an hour or two.

I couldn't find a single hat this morning, so I had to come to work hatless (luckily I keep one at the office). Two wool berets and a kitty hat. You'd think I could have found one of them in my apartment this morning, but no.

This post is drowning in parentheticals. I should stop while I'm ahead (barely).

So sorry to hear that you are having a hard day. May the nasty cramps pass and may the wedding be lovely.

Sorry about your mood. I completely understand it! Unfortunately. At least we can all be broody together.

I'm having an ungodly difficult time actually working on anything today. Doing lots of little things to avoid any of the larger projects I could dive into.

*sigh*

I just sent you something that should brighten your mood a wee bit.

I have your grommet press, let me know when you want me to bring it by/stop by and get it. Sorry it's such a crappy day, I certainly sympathize with cramps :(

I don't need it anytime soon, so if you wanna make use of it while you have it, knock yourself out! =)

If you don't need it at all, feel free to bring it by this weekend sometime, unless the weather is still gross.

I'll keep it for a few days then, I have two projects about to be ready :D Just wanted you to know where it ended up, since I know it went through a few hands to get to me.

I'm glad it will get a bit of use, then. Enjoy!

It was so great to have you there -- I never would have guessed you were having a rotten day. Thanks for smiling with us!!
