So I have to admit that working two part time jobs is severely limiting my social time. And by social time I mean the time I get to spend on the internet connecting with my friends. So I apologize for the lack of blogs the past several days (they have been getting pretty strict at work about internet usage {well, at least one of the leads is} and so I and been trying to be a good girl the past several days to prove I can be)...anyway a long story short, several late nights and feelings of exhaustion later I am still alive.
I had an awesome conversation with a co-worker Wednesday night. She works 3rd shift (all by herself) and comes in about the time I leave. Well, I was staying later because I hadn't been able to get there at my usual time. So we started talking and come to find out she's a Christian and spilling our life stories to each other I finally made it home after midnight (even though I finished work at 9:15). It was amazing and reaffirming and uplifting. And I'm reading the book of Job next...
Other than that, my life has been work, work, sleep, repeat...oh my new car REALLY needs it's front brakes re-done now so I'm hopefully getting that done this week. Then I have to work late on Saturday and then drive down to my brother's for Easter (which I am still not sure how I'll manage gas etc. along with brakes and the possibility of my bank account bouncing again). Why do I get myself into these situations?
Dad bug-bombed the house this morning before leaving for church, then we had a potluck, and the band practiced after the potluck. So it was a good time to do it, but Mom and I didn't know and I had a headache from sitting in front of the drum set anyway and the residual chemical smell of the fog made my headache that much worse.
I'm to the first color switch on my poncho, even though Mom isn't sure that the gauge is going to be right. If that is the case then I'll have to give it to my niece (even though it's not quite the right colors) I really hope it works for me! The yarn was expensive! I wanted to make one for Carissa but in the right colors (yellows and blues are her favorites...not red and charcoal gray). Oh and I'm on about my third huge mug of tea since coming home. Mmmmm...chocolate mint tea....
And that's all folks.
You need to sign up for Hobby Lobby's weekly coupons. DON'T SHOP AT MICHAEL'S. Their sales are a complete rip-off. But you can get some pretty good deals on yarn at HL if you do it w/ the coupons. You can also print off 40%-50% off coupons for HL online. :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the car woes. :(
Where does your bro live?
Chemical-smell headaches are terrible. :(
What colors are you using for the poncho?

ReplyDeleteMichael's had better color selections for the super bulky weight yarn I needed...:( Thanks for the info on the coupons, will definitely check that out. :)
It needs to be done or it won't work any more....and I need it to work.
He lives in Wheaton, IL. Almost directly across from Wheaton College.
It was gone when I got up this morning. But it was nasty!
A deep red and charcoal gray.
