Having worked retail through an entire Christmas season, this I've found to be quite true:
Glitter is like the herpes of craft supplies.
That stuff never comes off.

You know that point in your life when you realize that the house that you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of the sudden even though you have some place where you can put your stuff that idea of home is gone. You'll see when you move out it just sort of happens one day. One day it's just gone. And you can never get it back. It's like you get homesick for a place that doesn't exist. I mean it's like this rite of passage, you know. You won't have this feeling again until you create a new idea of home for yourself, you know, for you kids, for the family you start, it's like a cycle or something. I miss the idea of it. Maybe that's all family really is. A group of people who miss the same imaginary place.

You should knit that onto a pillow...just a thought. Happy New Year by the way, I've resumed blogging now that the radio silence period of being at the in-laws who don't have the internet is over...When are you moving south?
I just read your profile and laughed for a good 2 minutes solid when you listed your industry as "maritime" it just made me laugh.
Fin.
I had spent hours wondering what the "herpes of the craft world" was, and now I know!!
Also, where is this mysterious South you are moving to?
