Today, I have 3 things to tell you.
1. I am not pregnant. But I have some friends who are. Can I tell you a secret? I LOVE having friends who are pregnant. Isn't that weird? Anyway.
From my education and experience with those who are "expecting" I've gained a lot of knowledge on the subject. Sometimes it even feels weird to know so much, since I've never been in that situation. But even though I have the knowledge, I DON'T KNOW FIRSTHAND. I cannot empathize. I don't understand what the butterflies feel like, or morning sickness, or labor (thank goodness.)
So the one thing I NEVER intend to do with my friends who are "with child" is to give advice. I am not capable of giving advice. I don't know what it feels like to be in their situation. I will sympathize the best that I can, help in any way, and impart the knowledge that I have...but I do not know more than they do about it.
I wish everyone felt that way.
2. Lately I've caught the crafting bug. Well. Part of me was kind of bitten by it with the Victorian Tea Party coming up. (Ask me about it.) I'm practically drowning in metal headbands, hot glue, and colorful scrapbook paper. (But drowning in the good way! :-) Anyway, I bought some ModPodge and ribbon the other day. And....well.....I went crazy. I'll show you pics of my crafting frenzy later. But let's just say...it was intense.
3. Working in a library has renewed my love and zeal for books. Seriously, I've read 5 books in the past month. I have 4 more to work on. But it's calmed me again. Given me something to do. Replenished my imagination. Books. Are. Amazing.
And the best part is, my library job is AMAZING. I hesitated to say that, because I just hadn't been there long enough. I hadn't gotten used to it. Into the groove. But now that I have, I just still love it. It's such a blessing.
