is it inevitable that my toenails are just going to get thicker and harder to cut as i age? no one warned me about this. no one warned me about chest hair either. i knew i'd "mature" into an ever-increasing beard and mustache, but i didn't realize i'd start sprouting inch long hairs from my chest. granted, they are very fine and soft and blond (and really not visible except in just the right lighting), but still.

i got a call from a teaching credential program i applied for. after 2 teaching-related rejections this spring, i was starting to get a little nervous! but this is a normal school, the kind you pay; i'd forgotten that when i'm paying them, the admissions go a little easier. i have an interview in two weeks. i really need to get a car that runs.

i borrowed my friend's car and drove an hour to the nearest knitting store, only to find they are closed mon and tues! this definitely qualifies as a bad week. however, this gallery that i want to get my weaving into apparently is really looking for a weaver to showcase, since they have none! the pressure is on!

my friend taught me to knit last night. wow! i tried it once many years ago and hated it, but boy i love it today. don't know if i just have better finger control from weaving, but its fun fun fun!
