Whose Brilliant Idea Was This?


Mine?

This project was started months ago and will probably take a hundred years to complete…I got the super cool (dumb) idea to crochet a queen-sized blanket for my bed and started the project with lots of excitement and determination…and here I am 4 months later STILL working on it…I do row after row after row and don’t seem to gain any ground…I’ve gone through a bazillion skeins of yarn and it looks barely half done…I get sick every time I look at the damn thing but feel obligated to continue working on it after putting so much time and money into it already…this project reminds me of that childhood song that always got stuck in your head and if you heard it one more time you were just gonna shoot yourself.…You know the one…”This is the song that never ends”….THAT’S how I feel about this blanket…I have started and finished many projects since starting this one and every time I complete one, I see this infernal blanket peeking out from my craft basket, screaming…..”WHAT ABOUT ME!?!?!!?”...WHEN ARE YOU GONNA FINISH ME?!?!?!....and I scream back…”NEVER!!!…HOW ABOUT THEN?”...I want to wrap this blanket wanna be in a plastic bag and dump it in the nearest river and call it done…just so I can get on with my life…but I won't....because apparently I'm a glutton for punishment....

I think the drowning of the blanket would be cruel. Wouldnt it be much easier to slip it a fatal dose of sleeping pills??? lol..
