The Death of Espresso - RIP
Published December 28, 2006 by CabledSheep
Yes, it is with great sadness that I announce the demise of Espresso Logic 2. After completing my arrowhead lace project (for the second time), I noticed yesterday after blocking it that I had managed to reverse the right and wrong sides less than halfway through. Shit. I don’t really expect perfection - if it had been just a few yarnovers in the wrong place, I could have lived with it. But this was way wrong. I can’t believe I didn’t notice it earlier. It wouldn’t be so bad if there was more time before the swap, but now I don’t know if I even have time to start over and get it finished. (Unlike most people, I’m actually going to have to work on New Year’s day.)
I suppose that after I calm down for a few days, I’ll probably at least try, since I’m very stubborn (of course I am, I’m a Taurus). But for now, I don’t even want to look at it. Or more accurately, what’s left of it, after I ripped it back into oblivion.
I shouldn’t be surprised - yesterday was yet another day from hell. (I’ve been having way too many of these lately.) Anything that could go wrong, did go wrong. All day. I even broke an old Corelle dish. You know how many times I’ve dropped those things on the foor without a problem? Hah. Well, yes, they do break. And shatter into many nasty slivers. Trust me. Conversation goes like this: DH asks from the other room “What’s for dinner, sweetie?” CRASH! My answer: “Not yellow squash” (which is what was in the Corelle dish). Bless his heart. He came into the kitchen, and without a word, cleaned up the whole mess. I just drank more wine.

Corelle does get brittle after a time. Sorry for you loss on both fronts. We both have pretty great guys who helps through the rough spots…most of the time. I’m still not sure about the swap…sigh.
I haven’t even decide what to make for the swap yet, if it is any consolation.
Sorry about your Corelle dish, but it’s good to know you have a guy who looks after you so well.
Broken Corelle … evil stuff. Find the tiny shards with UV light at night — unless of course, you’ve already located all the shards with the bottoms of your feet. –eek
sorry about the sucky days…you’re due for some good ones.
