Knitting Mojo

Why is it that I have completely lost my knitting mojo yet I still knit? Instead of going straight to bed at night when I am exhausted I force myself to knit two rows on my not-so-secret secret project. Why is that? I am not super excited about the project anymore or any project for that matter yet I still work on it like its homework or something.

I know my knitting mojo is kaput because I won't even take a picture of my finished Shimmer socks. They still sit in my knitting bag waiting to be useful in some way. Sorry socks, maybe this weekend (I think I have said that before). But just to keep those that are interested here is a photo of what the socks look like. I call it my Mona Lisa!

Yes this looks believeable!

This dead mojo thing is good because it keeps me from buying more yarn forces me to focus on things I need to buy like SCHOOL SUPPLIES!!! I bought a bunch of school supplies last night and I was smart, I found a list online of things I that I will need once I am in grad school and I stuck to that list and voila! I already feel successful! I still need to get some storage binders and a bookbag or messenger bag or kid to carry my stuff. There is nothing more exciting than school supplies. New pens, post-its, the promise of organization, the vision of studying and doing well on exams all because you have a shiny new stapler that can staple through 15 sheets of paper.
The part about the article I mentioned above is that is says your desk should be free of clutter and distractions. Hmmmm...I was all set to buy this for my desk. Would that be considered to much of a distraction? Would it add to clutter? :O
