It's been a (little) while since I did one of these...
You Have a Melancholic Temperament |
 Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it’s easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult. |
This feels scarily accurate!
This morning it was Adam’s School Nativity Play. (The nursery were included – they did a star dance.) I can’t believe it – I really have turned into one of those soppy mothers with a tear in her eye. I used to think that school nativity plays were the pits. This one was above average – the singing was audible and (mostly) in tune – but that’s not what got to me. Somehow, despite all my reservations – the consciousness that for most people there it was simply a nice story, and for some the line “Jesus was born in a stable for you and for me” could even be offensive – something about it really got to me – it took a lot of effort not to blub my eyes out.
I’ve designed a hat for my mother for Christmas – I’ll do pics when it’s finished (always assuming that it’s actually hat-sized – I have horrible suspicions that it’s going to be waaay too small, but we’ll see). And as for the “I’m only 1 evening away from an FO” – we..ell – it’s still true. I can’t believe how unenthusiastic I am about Adam’s jumper. I only have 5 seams to do (and I dread to think how many ends to weave in) – I’ve even tried the body over his head, and fitted the sleeve on his arm, so I know it’s not going to be grossly wrong for size, but I think I’m scared to finish it in case it’s as much of a fug as I suspect. Ah well, it was my first big project since regaining the knitting bug – I’ve learnt loads since I started it, so maybe it doesn’t count. But I HAVE TO FINISH IT BEFORE CHRISTMAS – it’s not going to be a present, but I want him to start wearing it a) while the weather is cold and b) before he grows out of it!
Arrrgggghhhh – I’ve just noticed the time – I need to start cooking – quinoa bake for dinner.
one comment:
Oooh, what’s quinoa bake? I discovered quinoa whilst living in Exeter but have only ever used it much like couscous!Daisy () (link) - 08 December '05 - 21:54
