Step Two
I felt so good about yesterday's interview, that afterwards I went out and purchased a whole new work wardrobe and all the pieces mix and match.
Maybe this is what I needed to get me out of my funk.
I have been in a bit of a funk for the past few days. Okay, Okay, so I've been in a funk for about 3 weeks. I think it must be the end of summer blahs. Spring and Summer are my favorite seasons and it really disturbs me to know that summer is coming to an end in a few very short weeks. I feel like Summer has come and somehow I missed it. We didn't even do much camping this year. While in this funk I haven't been inspired to really work on my knitting or crocheting. I have been feverishly trying to get out of this funk by looking at all my pattern books and scouring the internet for inspiration. I even ordered two more books to add to my library. I ordered Felted Crochet and Scarf Style. If anyone out there has these books, let me know what you think of them and what projects you have enjoyed the most.
On another note, I have been having a lot of pain in my feet. So I went to the doctor and explained to her that I work 4 to 5 hours a day standing on concrete floors working at our local pizza restaurant. So she prescribed some foot orthotics and instructed me to find other employment. I am still trying to decide what is worse, the padded inserts for my shoes or standing on the concrete or both. I have several job prospects right now and I am just waiting to hear back from them. They range from school district secretary, legal assistant, medical office receptionist, medical billing clerk and insurance sales receptionist. I actually have an interview for the insurance office position tomorrow and out of all the positions that I have applied for, it has the best pay and benefits and room for growth. So wish me luck cause my feet need it!
I received a package in the mail on Saturday from my KKEXnMORE Secret Pal! Look at everything she sent me. I love the dishcloth in the tropical colors with the peace sign. How did you know that I need some peace in my life? And the keychain calendar is really cute too. Thanks Secret Pal!
Then today I received another package and it was from Jami, also from the KKEXnMORE group. She angeled me for the Christmas in July exhange. She sent me one of the dishcloth rakes from Markman Farms. The package also contained some cotton yarn and a pouch with a loom tool, yarn guides and a cool pair of scissors with my name on them.
Check out the close up of the scissors.
By the way, Jami just finished a really cool purse and you can see a picture of it on her blog, Jami's Loom and Boards.
Thanks again Jami for everything, you're an angel!
I have decided that I am a yarn miser. I was recently going through my stash looking for yarn to part with for a yarn swap and I came across this skein of yarn......now wait a second am I sure this is a skein of yarn or is it tinsel garland for my Christmas tree? Yes it is a skein of No Boundries yarn from Walmart and the name of it is
So what is the big deal. You would think I was being asked to give away my first born child. I mean come on, what in the heck am I ever going to use this skein of yarn for? If I try to make a scarf out of it everyone will think I have lost my mind. Picture me in a green sweater wearing the scarf around my neck and a pair of those jingle bell earrings and christmas bulb necklace on. The kids in the neighborhood will be whispering to their moms...."Mom, why is that lady decorating herself like a Christmas tree?"
So that is why I have decided that I am a yarn miser. Please tell me that I am not alone. I really am beginning to think I have a sickness.
