new yarn

I haven't had much work lately, so I've been working hard to keep myself busy. Today I took a field trip to the state farmers market and a specialty yarn store. I don't know why I bother with Michaels for yarn. The nice stuff is totally worth it. I'm really into 100% cotton right now, plain and simple. The orangey-coral one is my favorite. I have a bunch of new craft ideas. I WILL have an etsy shop one day.

I'm spending the evening trying to finish up my current crafts. I'm on the homestretch of my crocheted flower coverlet.  I'll be watching American Idol and the Real Housewives of NYC. I think this season is much better than the first. CAN'T WAIT for the Real Housewives of New Jersey.

one month

Countdown to our next move, into another apartment.  We're going to make a day trip up to Richmond next weekend to check out our top three apartment complexes that we have found from a little internet research.

Not looking forward to: Packing, but I know I will be happier if I start ahead of time and have a somewhat organized [chaos] move. 

Looking forward to: Letting the men do the heavy lifting, UNPACKING, and DECORATING a new apartment. Also, apartments have pools. We're moving mid-May...perfect timing. Getting a new job.

Wish me luck.
