So many starts..

I have started so many different things in my life, and I don't think I have ever stuck at it. My most recent failure, knitting. I knitted a scarf in the 'normal' knitting style, as you do, and then gave up when I couldn't learn the next knitting style, the 'pearl'. Ah knit schmit! I have a scarf! It's not like I need more than one (even if it isn't long enough to wrap around my neck, it's more like a drape really) and anyway, it's actually more expensive to make one than to buy one from Big W. See that's my other problem, Im really good at justifying WHY I don't stick at things. The first 'hobby' I tried to start was a collection of house plans cut carefully from the newspaper and glued into a exercise book. Why I here you ask? (actually it's more like um, whhhhyyyyyyy?) I like looking at house plans ok? Is that so hard to believe? Actually now that I look back, that's probably not such a bad thing to fail at, afterall, what do you do with piles of exercise books containing cut outs of house plans? Not that I ever had piles mind you, Im a giverupperer (I just made that up) remember? My excuse: all house plans are basically the same - therefore making for a boring hobby. At least stamps, however boring, are different.

Hobby's are crap. Unless you have one. Obviously I don't.

Maybe this could be one. Let's see how long it lasts.

Welcome to blogging! And I don't think you are a failure at all, being a Mum is enough hard work on it's own. And hey... what about Weight Watchers? Hardly failed at that did you!
