Kiss My Knits!

So today, my daughter’s home sick with a little cold (emphasis on little), and she doesn’t want to go anywhere, including the post office. This is bad, because I have three kits and some yarn for swap that need to go out. Fortunately, the hubby is coming home for lunch, so I can go out then. This is par for the course for him, good guy that he is.

I’m stewing a little, but trying to keep the proper spirit of “this is why I stay home in the first place, to take care of my daughter, and that’s most important” but still sometimes thinking of all the stuff I need to do.

I’m also thinking about how I have exactly enough yellow yarn to start ONE new Jayne hat, and my mondo shipment of yellow yarn isn’t due to arrive until Wednesday, and kind of mentally pacing.

Last night, I started thinking, “I could use a nice pick-me-up, but I haven’t got a lot of extra dough. Maybe I’ll trade some of my yarn stash for stuff on my Amazon wishlist. I’ll just go update that.”

I updated it some last night, then realized that the one thing I wanted MOST had mysteriously dropped off my wish list. Stupid Amazon! I tried to re-add it three times, with my husband looking over my shoulder, but the site kept telling me that the item was already on my wish list, although I clearly couldn’t see it. Stupid STUPID Amazon! Hubby agreed, quite the mystery.

So that’s the picture. Frustrated, plans up in smoke, irritated. And here’s where the eternal optimist in me wins again.

What do you think arrived today? Ding ding ding! You’re right. The mystery item, my #1 wish list want. The Complete Thin Man Collection! Man, I love those movies! I guess the site wasn’t updating because it had been ordered and was en route.

The hubby got it for me, which means the whole time he was looking over my shoulder, he knew what the heck was going on, he just couldn’t say. What a sweetie. Now I have something we’ll both enjoy, and man, is my day better.

Life’s good.
