Captain's Log, Stardate 01.28.2010



I'm at Faithchick today venting bemoaning whining discussing a problem I've been having lately:

Camy here! I'm seriously hurting in the bedtime discipline area.



Hurting as in, I totally suck and couldn't make myself go to bed on time even if I had an all expenses paid shopping trip to a yarn store in the morning.



(And trust me, I could spend thousands of dollars on yarn. Thousands, I tell you!)

It wasn't until 1980, that I t...

Captain's Log, Stardate 01.22.2010

(No offense to any Amish or old school people. I mean that in the nicest way.)



I don't know why I suddenly decided to learn to spin. Or if I did know why, I've forgotten (I probably explained it to Captain Caffeine at some point, but now I don't remember what excuse I gave to him).
