Hectic In The House Of Knitter....

I will come out and say it now first off, I apologize for my absence and lack of photos! If you just tuned in, all you need to do is refer to the last post before this one...I am now in the heap of it all and moving into another house....Everything was finalized as of last Saturday, the lease was signed, deposit was paid, and paint samples were chosen. Really the only color my hubs and I argued over was what kind of yellow to make the #2 bedroom....We finally agreed on "Banana Peel Yellow". I finally selected the perfect shower curtain! whew! glad that was overwith too! But of course, being me and the queen of not so good luck, my car is giving up the ghost! PERFECT TIMING! So now instead of dropping 2K to fix it (which in a few short months, we will turn around to fix it again) we decided to scrap it for parts and wait till February or March to put down a down payment to finally get that new car we so desperately needed! So from now until then, I will be without a car! ahhhh! the last time I was without a car was before I started driving at 16! well, I still have my trusty pink electra townie bike, and my hub's truck....but I will be moving to a small town outside of Lincoln and I may need to find at least a part time job there or at least within biking distance....thank the good lord there is a post office there in this small town I am moving to, just 4 blocks from where I live...a grocery store 5 blocks away, and the police station is only a block away! what great comfort! And also, my father in law and bro in law are coming up the weekend after thanksgiving to help us move, since we are not short one car, we do need all the help we can get! Now all i really need is more boxes! ahhhhh! you wouldn't recognize the inside of my house right now, boxes everywhere, things all strung about, and I am going nuts since I put my crafting supplies away in boxes....EVEN NOW I NEED TO CRAFT!!! But right now I have Nat King Cole's Christmas album playing, and all 3 of my furry lady feline friends are sound asleep. I envy them all. Oh how I wish I could sleep like they do since the last few nights have been very restless and very little sleep was had.

Oh, Lauren- I feel for you. This too shall pass, but sometimes it feels like a lifetime waiting. I look forward to you being in your new home. You KNOW I can sympathize with the car trouble... I still don't have mine fixed either. Probably going to wait til year end sales. sigh.
