monday, monday

yesterday was a success. okay so i didnt ride my bike but i did manage to eat ice cream, read, knit, go to my friends house for a great afternoon, make fresh carrot and apple juice with her new juicer and drink some really great wine. all in all not a bad day! my friend had guests over and their daughter was asking for assistance with her yo-yo. how hard can that be right? well, it has been a long time (i was really bad at yo-yos as a kid but i have been in denial for years) but i bravely jump up and say "oh, of course i can do that." she smiled, so trustingly at me, and then proceeded to watch me with growing concern as I had to continually retrieve the yo-yo from the floor and self wind it only to have it happen again, and again and again. humbling to say the least (especially since it was a large plastic one made for yo-yo beginners). she did at last get assistance from my friend and her husband who so elegantly, and effortlessly commanded complete cooperation from this toy. i stood in the corner, very similar to what i did as a child, and thought, "yeah but can you knit fair isle socks?" so there you go, the child in me rears its head, of course at the wrong time.
so, i thought i would post my cute baby hat and gloves to remind myself that i am not completely uncoordinated. i truly hope i learned a lesson this time and refrain from yo-yoing ever again!
