So, ya, regular readers will remember that last Fall, I did that whole International Scarf Exchange, and as the due date neared, my secret pal bailed on me and never communicated a reason why or anything. But I was fortunate enough to get an angel in Taiwan, who swiftly knit something up for me, and sent along some lovely goodies as well. <\/p>\n
I decided I could give it another go, despite all my bad luck with swaps. But now we’re back at the “email us if you still haven’t gotten anything” point, and I just feel stupid. STOOPID. I even volunteered to be an angel this go-round, because I thought HOW could it happen again? And who knows? Maybe something happened, maybe there’ll be a package arriving tomorrow, maybe maybe maybe. But I hate writing like I’m a petulant 14-year old, and it’s stupid to get my feelings hurt, but there you have it. And the only way to prevent this from happening again is to STOP participating. I apparently have terrible luck with these things and I can’t keep thinking “this time will be different!” So. I’m not doing another one of these. I’m doing a swap with my ‘net friend TussahSilk<\/a>, and we’ll get around to sending each other care packages of yarny goodness. (See, we don’t set a deadline or really any ground rules? But I’ve already gotten her a couple of things, and eventually, I’ll reach the point where I say, “Yeah, that’s good”, and then we’ll email some more and then we’ll both fulfill our respective ends of the deal.)<\/p>\n Grumble. I’m sooo glad it’s Friday. Hubs finished summer school today and he couldn’t be happier. I’m gonna get my toes done tomorrow, and prepare for my last week as a 39-year old!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So, ya, regular readers will remember that last Fall, I did that whole International Scarf Exchange, and as the due date neared, my secret pal bailed on me and never communicated a reason why or anything.
