Do You Suffer From BRF?

Do you suffer from Bitchy Resting Face?

Is everyone always asking if you're okay?  Do you feel well?  What's wrong?

Is the answer always nothing?  I'm fine.  Really, I'm fine.  No, I'm not sick.

You may have Bitchy Resting Face.  I do.  A couple of my children have inherited it from me, and they're learning to deal with the constant inquiries from concerned friends and teachers.

(mild language warning!) And let me just say that I think this is hysterical, right up until the ending, which I don't like at all.

Lent is probably a good time to practice smiling so people can stop thinking you're a b....

Do have this problem or know someone who does?

~Also linking up with Ginny's Yarn Along if you want to see what others are knitting and reading!~
{pretty} One of the few perks of getting out on the road before dawn is that you get to see some awesome sunrises while sitting at traffic lights!  This was a particularly pretty morning.  Don't you love the 'caption' at the bottom of the photo----"WE BUY GOLD"?

This yarn is also pretty---more than pretty; it's stunning.  I love the colors, but I'm kind of regretting the pattern I chose.  I like the pattern, but not with the yarn which is merino and silk.  It's super-soft and silky, and it has a sheen (can you see it in the ball?) that is totally lost with the garter stitch.  Kind of sad about that, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to rip it out and start again. 

Last week I was reading Divergent, and pretty much immediately ordered the 2nd book in the trilogy, Insurgent.  I read this one in less than 24 hours.  Another YA post-apocalyptic distopian society, but I found it intriguing that one would organize a society based on virtues.  I'm glad that the 3rd book comes out this month, so I don't have to wait a year to find out how it ends!

{happy} She finished her first big research paper with accompanying display without pulling an all-nighter!  Kudos to her awesome teacher for spreading out the work and giving them a good lesson in doing a big project like this. {funny} Haha!  Self-explanatory.  But the next one is not: We were at a cross-country meet east of Atlanta, and there were giant bird tracks next to hoof prints.  I should have put a coin on the ground so you could see the size of these.  They were not quite as big as my hand, but larger than any I've seen before.   I could just imagine an unsuspecting rider enjoying the morning with pterodactyls silently following behind!   Maybe they belong to a crane or a blue heron, but we weren't near water, so I didn't expect to see such large tracks in a field.  What do you think? {real} It may not look like much to you, but a neat garage that we can walk through, and makes room for dh to park his car, is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. At least until it gets messed up again!
