I love the Lake View pantry, they give out flowers with the vegetables. The lady I went with gave hers to me :)

Happy New Year
So since I was born in 1981 I've always associated the 80s with being a kid, the 90s with my teen years, and, I guess, the 2000s with my 20s. So it occurred to me that even though I'll technically be 28, this January I'm sort of entering my 30s. Huh.

You just never know
Part of what I like about my job is that I get to use my clinical skills (how to engage people, help them set goals, help them learn strategies to cope with things, create "Aha!" moments) while doing really, really non-clinical things. Like going with people to get teeth pulled, or to the food pantry, or the social security office, the grocery store, out for coffee, etc. Oh, and helping people get rid of bed bugs. The epidemic is just getting worse and worse.
If you had told me 3 years ago that my master's degree would lead to me helping numerous people get rid of bed bugs (and spending inordinate amounts of time & energy trying not to get them myself) I probably would have made alternate plans for my graduate education. Sometimes I still think of my friend Nicole's idea to offer online counseling from the safety of our own homes.
This isn't one of those "but I'm so glad it turned out this way!" kind of posts. I really hate bed bugs.

new socks, new ad
I have a new ad running on knitty.com - it's with their "Vampire Boyfriend" sock pattern (click the photo to see the pattern). I've always been too lazy to knit socks (they just go on your feet!) but there are some good ones in the fall issue...

I designed a really, really bright ad this time around. It just feels a little drab lately so I went with color. A lot of it.

I've become a very lazy photographer
I used to take more detailed photos - I even opened every single knitting organizer I made and filled it with needles and took pictures of that. Now I just use some standard photos I have. Thank God for that, it was a real pain.

Knitty.com asked me to send in some photos of my zipper pouches for them to feature. And I realized that most of my photos are incredibly boring.

So I blocked out some time yesterday to do a real photo shoot, in spite of having no light because it's raining and it already gets dark here at 6pm. I think I could get some better photos on a brighter day, but all in all I'm pleased with the results.
