Thirty One Pairs!

So i got the bright idea today to count my shoes since i am "shoe girl." I have thirty-one pairs. The breakdown is as follows:
  • 3 pairs of boots
  • 5 pairs of Converse Chuck Taylors (two low, three high)
  • 12 pairs of flip-flops
  • 11 other (skechers, running shoes, anything that didn't fit into the above categories)

How did this occur? I blame it on two things --love of shoes and the fact that i was a footwear associate for a year and got shoes for 20% off.

I refuse to count my yarn stash. I want to live in complete denial of my yarn addiction. Speaking of yarn, I did complete two blocks from the 200 Crochet Blocks book. The first one I did was #72 Ribbed Squares and the second one is #105 Double Stripes. My mom says i should make a sampler afghan but I don't know about that yet. I have major issues following patterns and directions and a very short attention span. I made them using an H hook and some of my Caron Simply Soft stash cause the blocks in the book are pretty flexible as far as materials go.

Happy Hookin' ya'll!

A Typical Day Off

So i have two days off in a row, but gas is currently 2.69 a gallon so i won't be going anywhere cool. However, I am still having fun because I don't have to answer the phones! I bought 200 Crochet Blocks by Jan Eaton because Hobby Lobby is having a 1/2 off sale on instructional books. yay. I also discovered the limited edition Jello flavors at wal-mart--margarita, pina colada and strawberry daiquri. God bless Jello. Tonight will probably be spent digging through my yarn stash and chasing after our new 12 week old Yorkie Daisy and our 9 year old Yorkie Haley. This is my first venture into the world of the written blog, so i promise that my blog will get more exciting soon once i figure out my blog style.
