It isn't that I'm unhappy, but things have been so stressful and hard to get through that I'm having a hard time remaining steadfast and positive. I have wanted to give up in exasperation so many times recently, and that's just not like me.
So, I've determined that I will make myself happy! The Happy Feet socks have helped go a long way into kicking my rear in that direction. But they will be finished soon, and I'll need something else to make me happy.
So, I think of things that I enjoy doing and one of those things is winding yarn hanks into cakes. Yesterday I showed you a picture of my beautiful bright sock yarn in its "hank" state...today I'll show you the picture of it wound into a "cake."
Isn't is pretty? It's just sitting there waiting for me to pull that center yarn out and start working...which I did about 2 seconds after I took this picture. In fact, I may have already pulled out the first length of yarn before I took this picture...that's why the center yarn is draping over the back...but I don't remember exactly.
Tonight, my work-friend has brought me some yarn of hers to wind into cakes. I told her I enjoy doing that. I think people think I'm a little wonky (but I know that to be true...so I don't care if they think it or not!)...so that will make me happy.
I like other kinds of cake. Chocolate, cheese, coconut. Cakes in general are happy things. Maybe I should make a particularly decadent chocolate cake this weekend. It has coffee and kahlua and creme de cacao in it so by the time you've eaten a slice you feel very satisfied and happy--life is grand. It's a thick and rich and delicious cake (and worth about 1/3 of my daily WW points, but that's cool...it's worth it) and makes a wonderful breakfast to boot. I think I've talked myself into that cake.
Cake is definitely one of those things that makes me happy...
