it's time for a stuart smalley moment.

But first...

Thanks to Melissa for her offer, but Melissa, your email address doesn't work.

Last night, my friend and I did a one week review of The Rewind Experiment. According to my friend, it is working. I am already less negative. I don't see it, but then again, that's a negative statement. My friend is willing to forge ahead out of caring for me. So despite backsliding, we're moving on.

I have also come to the realization that Crazy Lady has never accepted me, and I have gotten through my anger at her about that. I think I have gone through the seven stages of grief on that. It's sad, but I have to accept that she never has and never will accept me for me.

So I met another friend for breakfast this morning, and we talked about self-esteem issues. This friend also has self esteem problems and says there is an aspect of self back talk, where one self-consciously berates oneself. It was very true!

And I started a new knitting project, because Pandora's Sock wasn't going to work. But the yarn was screaming for something else. It'll hopefully be done in a day or so...

So, for the Stuart Smalley quote, in "Stuart Saves His Family":

"But today, I've decided to take a risk, and wear a new sweater. It was sent to me by a recovering sex addict, Melissa D., who knitted it herself; she said it gave her something to do with her hands."
