i just realized that i'm too dumb to sew.i ran some errands today. our old (and really nice) humidifier died a while back, so i bought a new and silly one at bed bath and beyond. i think the cashier guy was laughing at me on the inside. i was really disappointed that they didn't have the one shaped like a penguin, so i ended up getting the elephant one (the water vapor comes out of his trunk) because it was the least scary looking. they also had a frog, a cow, and a pig, but they were really frightening. the cat looked quite intrigued when i was setting him up.i also got new pajama pants at old navy and some SWS yarn and beads for stitch markers at michael's. i want to knit a black cardigan (either zip up or with buttons, i don't really care which). i have two patterns in mind, it's just a matter of picking which one i want to do. i haven't made a sweater yet, but neither is particularly difficult. i think i've made my decision. i can always make the other one later. tomorrow i'm working, and i get to struggle with the knitting machine again (i'm making samples of a lot of the yarns we aren't selling). it's the devil's contraption. happily, no one has asked me if they can try using it yet.

it's reall...

it's really nice that while it's frickin freezing outside, my passionflowers still want to bloom (this is passiflora belotii).not much to report tonight. when i left work this evening carole was trying to teach 15 brownies (all about 8 years old) to knit. i was happy to leave.though it was pretty funny because at one point carole's daughter hailey called me over to introduce me to one of the other girls because apparently the girl was asking about me. then carole started in on the lesson (well, sort of, seeing as how they're chatty 8 year olds) so i didn't get to hear *what* she was asking about.

I DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE CARDIOLOGIST!!! YAY!!it still felt like the stress test kicked my ass, but i got up to the running portion this time and stayed going for about 30 seconds before i thought i was going to collapse (i think they said i was over 9 minutes--which apparently is average. yay average! way better than 'embarassing'). but my doctor was very happy. the technician (WHO I LOVE--she's the one i always have) said that she when she went out in the hall to get a phone call she saw dr. sinha and he asked how my test went and she said he was REALLY excited to hear the results. quite funny.i also had to meet with one of the cardio fellows who was extremely smiley and kind of shakey. like he was nervous. it was cute.so unless i have any more problems (like my heart speeds up again) i don't have to go back. so i came home and slept :)i'm pretty relieved. i'll be more happy when i get a real job and can afford to join a gym. for now i just have the itchy/blistery spots from all of the electrodes (apparently they don't have any hypoallergenic ones. damn). now, the week would be even better if it actually snowed tomorrow. if it's going to be this fucking cold it may as well snow.
