Finally able to sit down and do nothing tonight. I'm on the couch with the laptop and it's nice. Last week and this past weekend was pretty busy! It was pretty fun times tho... a couple of knit groups, a sheep festival, and a knit meetup/swap. Pretty crafty weekend! I picked up some yarn too! Might post some pictures....

Right now the dish washer is running and then every dish in the house will officially be clean. It's an amazing thing. But I actually came home today in the mood to clean the kitchen. Next step: be in the mood to mop the floors. :D We even went to the grocery store today... even though we picked up mostly snacks/sweets. Oh well. Derek starts his mandatory OT tomorrow so I guess I'm eating cereal the rest of the week for dinner. :)

Speaking of cereal. I wanted a box of Frosted Flakes, as they are my favorites. At Schnuck's, the big box was 4.98$! That is outrageous! 5$ for CEREAL! The small box was 4.48$. Still ridiculous. So I went to a different store.... Shop n' Save had the big box for 5.58$!!!11! Insanity! I went to WalMart and got the dang Huge Box for 3.74$! It makes me so mad that they think they can charge me 2$ more for the SAME THING! But at least there is a bowl of Frosted Flakes in my future.

My job is still going good. I started to feel a little sorry for myself today tho. My cube is right across the "hall" from a lawyer....and she is the same age as I am. I want to use my degree too! lol Oh well... at least I have a job! I love that it's dayshift, but man, i hate getting up early! I am not a morning person! :D

On Saturday I went to a new yarn shop that opened really close to my house. The owner is really nice, the only minor downfall is that it's inside a religious bookstore. But maybe some of their goodness will rub off on me. :D She was very willing to listen to what me and my friend had to say about her store too! We offered up some suggestions and she talked me into teaching a sock class in June! HA! I think it will be fun tho...I hope people actually sign up! :D I'm knitting some store sample things for her too. So that was an exciting day. :) The owner has the Moolah to throw at the yarn shop but doesn't know much about ..... well, anything. She can knit basic things... I was teaching her how to knit a sock last night. That just amazes me.... a LYS owner that can't knit a sock. *shakes head* I think that is the dream job for anyone tho... and to just have the money to do it without having to worry about making a profit, or heck, even making ends meet. Must be nice!

Nothing much else has been going on... Derek is racing online, so I actually have control of the tv tonight and nothing is on. SAD. There has been nothing but hockey on in our household for the last months. I am so tired of it! lol, but it's finally playoffs so it's almost over. And some of the playoff games have been realllllly good. Have seen some really good hits and some awesome black eyes! :) And we have the NHL network now... so if there isnt a current game on, then there is a game from lord only knows what year on.

Tomorrow night I am going to make Oreo Balls.... MMMmmm! Like we need more snacks here... Derek got honey buns, iced lemon cookies, a package of brownies.... of course Oreos, I picked up some butterscotch pudding. I stared at the ice cream for a while.... but that is another thing that I can't bring myself to pay 5$ for a pint (or quart) of. We also got some veggies and peaches for snacking on too... so it was ALL bad, just mostly bad.

Well I thought there was more I wanted to say... but I cant think of what it is now. *shrugs*

you want to see the yarn pics??

ok this is the yarn that i waited for a month and a half to be delivered. I think it was hung up in customs.
