I got rid of four boxes of books and it felt like gnawing off my hand. But when they are piled up between me and the bed, something has to be done.Renahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911608453762091207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9910550.post-53541272008630617222007-03-08T20:51:00.000-08:002007-03-08T20:51:00.000-08:00EEEEk!!!

Good thing you are on the 'no buying yarn for a year' diet or whatever it is. <BR/><BR/>What I really want to know is - why are you selling the den and moving? I know you got totally seduced by the palace but when that didn't work out what spured you on? Just curious.

Four pairs of 14-inch single-points, sitting calmly in a cylindrical glass vase on the kitchen counter. Not bothering anybody. To pack them in with heavy books about old cars and motorcycles.

I had no good rebuttal prepared in advance (won't make that mistake twice) and so grudgingly took the yarn down there. Cold, dark, alone (the books are staying in the land of light though).
