Is my horoscope trying to tell me something


So I read my horoscope this morning and this is what it said:


As you know, dear Aries, you have reached a turning point in your life. The hardest part about making this decision is, as usual, saying farewell to your old ways. The past can seem so cozy and reassuring, especially when the unknown looms. It takes strength and determination to leave it behind. But whether it is a matter of your career or your love life, you have personal goals that cannot be sacrificed or denied.


After this year being one of the hardest ever, sometimes I wonder what now?? Last year I thought this would be the year I would get married, be remodeling my house and thinking about family. Now that everything has changed, part of me is thankful and part of me is lost. Living in a town where I don't know really that many people has been strange. Things in the cube farm have been rocky. There are days I ask myself what am I doing here? I think that part of it is that I have met a new wonderful guy that makes me smile after months of hearbreak and the other part is I have too much pride. As great as moving to an island spending all of my time in the water and living for free was awesome, pride is keeping me. I love my parents dearly and would be living with them, its a difficult thing to swallow, giving up part of my independence, swallowing my pride.


Maybe sometimes we just need to suck it up and make that leap. So confusing... and the topper of all of it was my mom had to put down my dog, she was sick and had heart failure. My crazy little chica is in doggie heaven now....

What to knit with malabrigo or manos del uruguay

I have both some malabrigo bulky and some manos yarn and I have been at this point where I don't know what to knit with either of them. I would rather not do a hat or a scarf because lets face it, it doesn't get that cold here in Southern California. Ideas??

Who the heck is positive parrot...

So July 1st the hands free went into effect, and the cops are out in full effect. I should know I got a speeding ticket last week, ugh, trying to get home to take my mom to surgery (even worse since I was trying to do a good deed). Driving her car..didn't even realize how fast I was going = expensive$$ ticket, (WAH!!!)
So I really need to sell off some stuff now! I know someone wants to buy the Namaste Cali bag, its very cute, I will throw in a cozy... I have officially started pay speeding ticket fund. Now I have to do the whole traffic school thing, cross your fingers for me that I can do it online. Sitting in a room listening to someone talk for hours doesn't sound like any fun. Maybe I can knit, haha, they probably woulnd't like that huh?
So knitting time, I need to find some. Maybe this 4th I will relax and find some knitting time, but I doubt it. I still have organizing and stuff to do from my move, which yes by the way was over a month ago. Yikes!

Looking forward to...


Staying home this weekend and getting some stuff done :) Most of all thank goodness for Bank holidays, why? Because I get them off & paid to boot!! Soooo I am still trying to find a new home for these really cute Namaste bags, maybe I will have to post them on ravelry again. Or take into consideration a yarn/ book exchange. I just hate having them sit in a box not filled with yarn, patterns and other yarn goodness. Speaking of books, I have a lot of those too... Let me tell you when i moved they sure were heavy.
I would like to buy the rocketry or tulip dream in color pattern. When theloopyewe.com was having a sale on the yarn I bought some and am currently making the dream in color shrug. I might get it done by the time it gets cold again, haha... We will see, with all of the traveling and stressing I have been doing there has not been a whole lot of knitting going on. Although I did knit on the plane ride to/from Switzerland and got through a little bit. This sweater is just so fricken cute though, now I just have to find someone having a baby. Or I have the Elizabeth Zimmermann pattern for the best baby sweater pattern ever. I will have to look at the yardage and see if two skiens of dream in color is enough to make one of these cuties.

On the road again




So...I am heading back to Hanford, again...this time to help out my mom after she has surgery on both of her hands.

Leaving tomorrow morning but I though I would put up pictures of the two namaste bags I am trying to destash. The cali bag I carried for about a week or so and the laguna bag is brand new never carried in the dust bag. I also have the dust bag for the cali bag as well. I have the laguna bag in turquoise and have come to the realization that I don't need so many bags. That and after moving my closet is about 1/3 the size of my old one. (Wah!!) Sooooo...they must go, sniff, sniff..... I probably have some yarn I need to destash as well, but that will take a couple of days to get it all out, inspect and decide what to part with. I will probably try putting them on ravelry again, maybe this time I should put pictures. So again if you are interested just drop me a comment and I will email you back :) Oh and one more I have a tylie diaper bag, that could be used as a messenger bag if anyone is interested in that I can send pictures. Its a cool bag for sure, but no diapers are in my future and again, I have a bag love problem...okay, hobby??

Sometimes...

There are just those times where you wish you could just blurt out "WTF".....but you can't, wouldn't be appropriate. Maybe I should go buy a lotto ticket tonight, just the mere thought of winning, packing up my stuff and leaving puts a smile on my face, hahaha.....
I think I may be having one of those office space moments....
Maybe tonight I should knit, drink wine and chill..

Dang it...tonight I need to go get more stuff from my old place, ugh..maybe I should get rid of some stuff!

I do have too many knitting bags right now, so if anyone is in the market for a Namaste Cali Malibu bag, I have the olive color that I am trying to sell. I also have the olive color in the Laguna bag too, I got a little crazy. They are both brand new!! If you are interested leave me a comment :)

Jetsetting

Wow, It has been a crazy couple of weeks for me. I traveled to Hawaii for what was supposed to be my wedding. (Sometimes things happen for a reason I guess). Then I worked for a week and 2 days then was off to of all places Switzerland. Wow, can you say LONG flight.....yikes!! It took forever..lets just say that

Lets not even get into me moving right before my jetsetting adventures began. I still have boxes to unpack and I believe that my room looks like a Boeing 767 flew through it. The garage...ha! Looks like a crazy person's mini storage. My poor roommate...what a trooper he is :)
