When I turned eighteen, I remember getting a pearl ring for my birthday. This is what eighteen year olds get these days ….
Happy Birthday Miss X!! Miss X. is a wonderful girl – headed off for college in the fall sniff, sob, sniff and an avid reader of purlingswine. She is only one knitting lesson away from perfection! :)
Speaking of college – the Boar and I are taking daughter numero uno off for her first college visit. I am simultaneously excited and dismayed at the prospect. It is hard to believe that come September she will be in her senior year of high school. Why didn’t they tell us that these kids would grow up and leave us?? Why do they even want to leave us?? They have it so good at home — don’t they know??? I should never have given her so many fresh fruits and vegetables – maybe then I could have kept her small. damn it.
I hope to get some knitting done during the car ride. Sometimes I can do this and others it makes me nauseous. It is odd that there is no rhyme or reason.
