woot! all kinds of good news

so i'm still coughing a lot and low energy. but i'm doing a bit better than i was. i am hoping to have this thing kicked soon.
today begins the annual shop hop! 7 LYS's (local yarn stores for the uninitiated) in the twin cities area are giving out door prizes and if you make it to all 7 over the weekend you get entered into a drawing for a big prize! sweet! i get to go explore a bunch of new yarn stores (i've only visited 3 of these before) and meet new people and get free stuff. score! okay and maybe i'll buy some yarn....if i find something in the colors i promised my neice.
additionally last night i frogged my jaywalkers for the 3rd time. apparently the third time really is the charm, because i haven't made any mistakes since and made significant progress last night. there just may be hope for me with patterned socks!

in other news i watched the fountain with ross last night...i'm still not sure if i liked it or not, though it was inarguably beautiful.

i don't know how you live with that commute, honestly. i have 2 ridiculously spoiled ideas that pertain to my mental health around cars: first, i should not have to pay at the places i park regularly. second, my commute should be 30 minutes or less. right now its about 15-20.
regardless i continue to be impressed with how many attitudes and interests we have in common. wish i'd known that when i lived there.

Heheh. Yeah, ain't that always the way? You discover someone or something cool... right after you've left the area. ;-)

And yeah, I'm none too happy with my commute, either. It's sucking my soul. But right now I can't afford to leave the company I'm with without a REALLY good offer (and I do have my resume out there, just in case), and I can't/don't want to move. So I'm stuck with it for now...
