Staring the enemy in the face.....8/17

Well, the enemy and i met face to face....I'm still reeling. What enemy you may ask? Yarn. Lots of yarn. Yarn, yarn and more yarn. All I can say is this...no one in the western world will ever need to be cold if I start knitting now and don't stop for the next 50 years. Why am I sorting out yarn when I"m supposed to be cleaning out my closet? Because they are one in the same. The yarn was IN the closet in 3 sets of those plastic drawers. 3 sets. I guess there is some good news...I will NOT need to buy a baby shower present for a long, long, long, long time. I will be personally responsible for keeping the ears warm of all of the current PPC babies and all of the babies to be. I know, that is a little bit funny, but the truth is, I'm upset. It's not the yarn itself that is upsetting....most of it is very nice yarn....some is kind of ugly, but I suppose someone would like it...anyway....it is the amount of yarn that is upsetting. Why do I have sooooo much??????????????? I have barely knitted anything in the past couple of years. Granted, I was in a scarf mode 2 or 3 years ago, but I probably made 50 or 60 scarves then. (honest) and I have this much left???????????????????? It is upsetting. Very upsetting.
