An hour and a half ago, I sat down, in front of the Computer.
I went to my student portal, to do my schoolwork, for this week. 3 discussions.
And, just like always, the interruptions started. I swear...WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MY FAMILY!?
First, it is the Aunt (who, by the way, I am still not entirely comfortable with.)
"What are you doing?"
This was almost ridiculous, because I had just told her that I was going to go do schoolwork. But, I answered, in an urgent, 'leave me alone' sort of tone. "School!"
Apparently that 'leave me alone' tone, was not as obvious as I had hoped it would be.
"Oh, I see. Hey, when your done..." Yammer, yammer, yammer. For fifteen friggin minutes, she went on. She was standing in the office, just going on, and on, and on.
Finally, she got the clue, that I wasn't going to converse. And, she went away.
I got through 2 discussions, and then, it was my mother's turn.
I told her I was doing schoolwork, and in return, I got that famous look, which seems to say: "I can't believe that damned computer is more important than me. You ass!"
Seriously...What the heck!?
Is it the TOP PRIORITY, of my family, to see to it that I FAIL at getting an education? Because, that is really what it seems like, to me.
Oh well...
Moving on.
Yesterday, after writing my post, I searched around, for a bit, online. I saw tons of nice afghans. But, there was not a single one, that would work, for my mother's Christmas Afghan.
Then, my mother told me she had to go out. PERFECT! I asked to be dropped off, at Barnes & Noble. And, I am happy to say that, while scanning through crochet magazines, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO FIND THE PERFECT PATTERN!  This pattern is simple enough, that it should be able to be worked up quickly. But, there is enough variation in the stitches, that it looks more complex than it actually is. And, it is a pattern, that will lend itself PERFECTLY to the memory yarn, that I want to use.
I rushed home, and went into hiding, in my room. I hopped up on the bed, and I got started, on this afghan.
And, for the time being, that is all I will say, about this afghan. I do not want to jinx it, in any way. And, as I have already listed two patterns, which have both been abandoned, I will simply call this afghan Mom's Christmas Afghan, until it is completely FINISHED!
So, in other news...
I got a few more rows worked, on the Bliss Baby Blanket, yesterday. Not all that much actually. But, that is ok. I still have the rest of the month.
And, with this, I have to log off. My sweetie needs the computer. And, I am not ready to start arguing, so early in the morning.
So, until tomorrow...
Happy looming, and crocheting.
