In my Jane Eyre readings this week things took an unexpected turn. The story got kind of weird and Mr. Rochester dressed up like an old fortune teller lady and made all his female guests and Jane get their fortune told. By the way no one knew it was Mr. Rochester, but he did reveal himself to Jane. I guess I didn’t see this coming because Jane is religious and she was excited to see the fortune teller (before she knew it was Mr. Rochester) and I would think a religious person would not want to get mixed up with a fortune teller. The thing is, even though I don’t really like this part of the story I kind of really want to know what happens next.

I had a really stressful day, I had to take a big test and I didn’t feel like reading something where I had to think or pay attention. I splurged and bought myself a chi tea latte and a People magazine. The only article I really got into was the one about the daughter-in-law of Bernie Madoff. She is speaking out because Ruth and Andrew Madoff (Bernie’s wife and his living son) have a book out about their side of the story. Anyway, she talks about her husband Mark who committed suicide due to shame of his father and how she is coping with her two young children.

So my favorite yarn store twitted that they had a limited stash of Interweave Knits – Jane Austin special edition left and thought they’d be out by the end of the weekend. Let me back up a bit. Knitting is a big hobby of mine that has gone on the backburner since I started school. I just can’t do it all. I usually guilt myself out of knitting, and by that I mean every time I consider knitting I tell myself, if I have time to knit, I have time for homework. I’m my own mom. My husband and I had already decided that our cruiser ride would be our workout for the day and we just couldn’t decide where we wanted to ride. Thankfully I saw that tweet because after we cruised to the yarn store I got one of the last ones. It had lots of patterns that fit Jane’s time and that would look good on a modern girl like me. It also has lots of articles about knitting and Jane Austin. After we picked up my magazine my husband was cold and hungry so we biked over to the coffee shop to get him fed and I got to read my new magazine. It was a wonderfully guilt free afternoon.
