Where are the faeries when I need them?

[Flipping through a fashion magazine, reading an article about a young workaholic womenswear designer]
"Viv, how does anyone get all this stuff done?"
"Drugs. Or a good work ethic. Put the magazine down and go knit a test swatch."

My hands don't hurt, the laundry is done, and I don't have to make dinner.

I failed a math class in elementary school because I believed that if I wished hard enough, my homework would do itself. It took a while before I stopped believing it - and I had a teacher who really should not have been an elementary school teacher, so my parents didn't know what was going on until, surprise, I flunked the class.

I'll go clean my room now.

i know what you mean; i don't know how some knitters can churn out project after project or design and knit tons of things in such a short period of time.
glad the hands are feeling better.
and you know, i had a PE teacher who gave me a C in PE...in PE!? how does that happen? i show up, i'm dressed in my PE clothes, and i participate, so how does one get a C in PE? i know i was clumsy...but i don't think that was it. i'm thinking it was maybe because my friends and i were going through "that stage" where we give the teacher attitude...catholic all-girls schools can get really catty. hehe...it was enough for my parents to pull me out of there and put me into another school. weird how that worked out...
