It touched me, I think, because I know what it takes to piece together a quilt. It's hard, at least for me. It takes so much time and patience...I've started several. Never finished a single one.
And that makes me sad. I start things and don't ever finish.
I think today qualifies as one of those "bad" days. I woke up late, I got to work way later than I wanted to, managed to get marinara sauce on my shirt, I'm tired, I'm bored, I'm hormonal..(Damn you, hormones!)
I feel a little better now.
The girl on the other side of the cubicle wall just said, "Oh, my stars!" and that pretty much made my day. Thank you, Christine.

almost crying? ... oh no!
It is a nice quilt, and I never could have made it, that's for sure.
I read this today. In Praise of Melancholy
Not sure if I agree with it altogether or if you'll think it's interesting, but is was somewhat interesting to me.
So Pride and Prejudice is a good movie, or a good movie to watch on bad days? both?
Thanks for the article. I don't think I agree with all of it either, but there are some things there that are definitely interesting. For me, sadness, or melancholy, is something that might consume me for a while, but when it's gone, things are more beautiful and I appreciate the people and the things in my life more. It's a relief to see the light after I've been in the dark. Yesterday I felt plain shitty. Today I feel pretty good.
P&P is a good movie...good for happy days, sad days, days when I'm pissed off, days when I'm indifferent. But I am female, so Pride and Prejudice enjoyment is pretty much genetic.
I hope today is a better day Marie. You know I had the grumpies yesterday too and you know it's bad when Dr Pepper can't even fix it.
I remember I liked the book (P&P). I read it a long time ago in one or two sittings, which is rare for me, so I'm sure I was "into it". But probably to preserve my manhood I haven't read any other JA or seen any of her freakin' chick-flicks.
When everything sucks for me I usually throw private rage tantrums until I get tired and start watching TV or re-organizing all my stuff. Dr. Pepper might be a nice addition to that.
Dr. Pepper is a good addition to anything.
And Hoder...yes, my day was much better. Chocolate from Truman's secret stash for sure helped.
