Must. Not. Shop…

I seem to have welcomed in 2007 with an almighty case of the blaaahs, which has caught me completely off-guard, because I expected to be feeling all fresh and motivated and ready to take on the world. Bummer.

So now I find myself alone in the house (sort of), with Finn away for his very first ever parent-less stay with Grandma (sob!), and Niamh finally down for a nap after having a slightly ornery morning (teething? full moon? the weather? just plain moody like her mum?) And I’m fighting the urge to go online shopping (aargh… SB&B 25% off!), especially since Christmas was just here, and the amount of stuff coming in to the house, with no corresponding outgoings, is just overwhelming really (note to self: get Freecycling).

Instead, I’ve lunched on cold Milo and hot buttered toast (of dubious nutritional value, I grant you, but enjoyable nonetheless), and I’m going run off a couple of quick emails which are long overdue, and then… I. Must. Sit. Down. And. Stitch! That UFO-RR piece isn’t going to stitch itself, you know.

Oh, and PS, I am a big liar – I was awake to bring in the New Year after all. One distraction led to another, and before I knew it, Niamh was waking up at bang-on midnight, and I got a lovely baby-snuggle for the first few seconds of 2007. That was definitely not blah-worthy ๐Ÿ™‚

    I feel blah too! I haven’t been stitching either. I know what you mean about resisting the siren call of that 25% off (even if we do have to wait a couple of months to be satisfied). Any particular chart calling you?
    I’m glad you got a midnight snuggle.:love:
