Fun Times

I am still helping my parents out with the moving stuff on the weekends. I did make two more hats. I went shopping in owasso Saturday morning and it was a dud. I was hoping to find some khakis and new work shirts but there isn't really anything at Old Navy right now that says classic on it. I really need to order from like Eddie Bauer or a store like that but I would have to try on stuff first to see what my EB size and I didn't feel like dealing with Sat. traffic in tulsa. next weekend, my sister wants me to go to tulsa with her. She likes driving in Tulsa. More power to her. You don't have to ask me twice to go to Barnes and Noble with you.

Work is a ball of frustration. Job transitions and your controller getting fired aren't pleasant. I love the company I work for and I like the people I work with but things just kind of suck right now.

I have two accounting tests this week. that isn't fun either. Memorizing journal entries is hard. I don't memorize stuff very well unless it's like song lyrics or brands of yarn.

I did order a really handy carry-on bag from L.L.Bean this weekend as a present to myself. I needed something more practical since I will be doing a lot of airplane travel between my parent's move and the internship. Plus, the strap on my Adidas bag is going to crap and I've had it for almost three years, so I'm tired of it. The LL Bean bag has a padded strap and a little zipper pocket on top that i can stick my snacks and ticket in so i don't have to dig through my bag while sitting in the tiny airplane seat.

I am looking forward to my order from Patternworks arriving. I ordered the mitten loom, a new Addi hook size F, a knitting book as part of my mom's b-day present and a skein of KOIGU!!!!! How cool is that! Ever since I saw the episode of Shay Pendray's NeedleArts studio where she visits the Koigu shop and I saw how they hand dye the hanks of yarn, I fell in love with the coolness of it all. Now I understand why knitters go ape shit for it.

I know it sounds like I went on a shopping-palooza, but I did spend less then average for this paycheck. AND I PUT MORE MONEY IN SAVINGS!!! Reading Suze Orman's new book and seeing the special she made for it on PBS this week really helped me out a lot. Gold star for me.

We are supposed to get our Secret Pal 10 matches sometime this week. I am stoked because I had a really good experience with Secret Pal 9.

Hmm...Maybe the light at the end of the tunnel is coming back out. I just have to be patient. I suck at that. I am a total instant gratification girl.

Shout out to Sunshine. I am going to teleport you to my house so you can see all my little home improvement projects. I did gardening this weekend...Eewww dirrtyyy....And you can see my special neighbors that have a couch in their front yard that they sit on in lieu of lawn furniture. Lol...My neighborhood is nice and safe, it just has some weirdos.
