Who Moved My Cheese?

Has anyone else read this book? It is a book that is supposed to help people adjust to change. The four characters in the story are Sniffy and Scurry (mice) and Hem and Haw (humans). The Cheese is your goals, dreams, etc. A Maze (life) is involved, of course. Sniffy and Scurry are able to adjust to changes that come about because they, as mice, do not have the complex brains and emotions the humans do. Hem and Haw, as you can imagine, have difficulty adjusting to their Cheese disappearing from Cheese Station C. As silly and goofy as I thought the story was while reading it...I remember it. It may not be the end all, cure all for helping me deal with change, but, like Aesop's Fables, there is a moral to the story! Adjusting to change quicker will make life a little simpler and less stressful and your goals/dreams/etc (realistic) easier to obtain.

Okay, on to more important things...I got my invitation! My invitation to Ravelery. What an amazing website. I love all of the stash features (yarn, patterns, books, needles, hooks). It is really exciting (it doesn't take much to excite me these days) to be able to actually inventory all of my stash with pictures! I also like that you can indicate the store the yarn was bought from. Not that DH and I are full time/world wide travellers, but I would like to be able to tell where I bought a certain yarn from. The unfortunate part is that I will have to unpack all of the boxes (about 10 big Rubbermaid bins) to take individual pictures of the different yarns.

Knit-N-Needle Nook, in Mount Dora, has finally reopened. I have to say, they did an amazing job with the renovations. It is bright, cool, and open (space wise) now. Previously, it was NONE of those things. It was almost like walking to a yarn tomb! Unfortunately, the green shag carpet is gone too...Oh well. The store is not 100% complete yet, but it is probably about 85-90% there. I am really looking forward to classes there in the near future. She has a HUGE selection of vintage patterns. These are patterns that were in the store when she bought it in January, so some of the patterns probably date back to the 70s if not before.

Oh well, DH is reloading the closet in the master bedroom, since it has not been repaired from the disaster that occurred several weeks ago...when the shelf pulled away from the wall and tumpped all of my clothes on the floor...at 1:30AM. GGGRRRR!!!!!

Hehehe...Look what I just found....
