And it all culminated this morning with the discovery that if you mess up my breakfast, you have messed up my entire day. Yep. I've been craving waffles all week. And the plan was to make them for breakfast this morning so that Thomas could help me eat them (I try not to fix them just for myself because that would cause severe over-eating for me). Well, too bad I tried a healthier recipe. I ended up with a completely unusable waffle maker filled with inedible waffle-ish-ness.
So, of course, I dejectedly grabbed a bagel from the freezer and popped it into the toaster instead. ONLY to have the bagel burn to a crisp because the toaster decided not to pop up like it's supposed to! While I had decided to give up on the world and go hide in a hole for the rest of the day, Thomas promptly grabbed another bagel and popped it into the toaster for a second go round.
Nothing disastrous happened for the rest of breakfast, but I did have to spend the next 45 minutes cleaning out a waffle maker that is so stupidly designed that you can't take it apart to clean it. So 45 minutes, some sore fingers, and about a million paper towels later, I shoved the (mostly) clean waffle maker back in its cabinet before I lost control and threw it in the trash instead.
So yeah, there's a peek at my day. Moral of the story: Don't EVER mess with my breakfast! Mer.
Anyway, I just meant to explain that I've been a little absent on the blog because I've had a bad week. It's a lot harder to write upbeat posts when I'm feeling melancholy.
But I was reminded yesterday (just in time too), that God does not want his children to feel defeated and beat down. Yes, He allows us to go through hard times, but the illusion of defeat comes straight from the enemy, not from God. So, I am praying a lot and trying to keep my head up instead of succumbing to the feelings of failure.
Moving on... This post is really supposed to be about the scarf I recently finished, but I obviously got sidetracked. (Thus explaining why I don't like to blog when I'm having a bad day/week.)
This is the scarf that's been on my loom since just before Christmas. I started weaving with a light pink weft (sideways) yarn, got about halfway done, and then didn't touch it for about three months. I stopped working on it because I really wasn't liking the color scheme.
One day, I decided that I didn't want to finish another scarf that I knew I wouldn't like, so I un-wove the entire thing and started again with a purple weft. And I love the colors so much better. Even though it was a pain to un-weave so much of a project, it was definitely worth it! Here's the finished result!
