Moving is such a chore.

Don't get me wrong, I love the new apt. but I hate living in two places at once. I've managed to bring over about 1/3 of my stuff to the new place. The apt in Gville looks like a hurricane went through it. There are boxes clogging up the living room, the TV is on the floor, and most of the kitchen is missing. I can't wait to get settled in one place at least then when I visit the bf we won't be sleeping on the floor. At least the new TV is awesome. The view from the balcony is sort of obscured by a tree or two, but you can still see the "lake".
Finished my fair isle hat and wish some cool weather would roll in so that I would have an excuse to wear it outside of the house. Now I'm thinking about starting on a vest made out of Malabrigo...can we say yummy? I also am planning a new hat for Dad and a pair of socks for Mom. This has been a very generous knitting year.
The bf is doing very well in Jax. He seems to be enjoying the new position and the new people. I just can't wait to escape as well. The newest rumors at work have me "on the prowl for a new man; since [the bf] left me". Two giant guesses who's spreading those rumors. He is also spreading some rumor that when I first starting working there; post-Elliot; that I would have dated ANYONE. But that he wasn't interested. Really. No joke. I laughed my ass off when I heard that one. Katie thinks that he's still holding out hope for some sort of miracle. (If that happens, kill me please.)

On a side note...Jen, dear, when exactly can I be expecting an engagement announcement? I mean you said after graduation...hello...that was like weeks ago. (Come on, Kevin, we are all in need a rad party). Maybe we should all just fly up and visit Katie and Eric's new pad in Minn. That could be really far out too.

Love ya all, and remember I'm living solo for the moment which often leads to me needing another human to chat with...so I'm available.

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT!

Do you know what's the only really good thing about the bf being in Jacksonville? My knitting has taken over the living room...seriously. Not just one project...like 4. Which for me is a ton. I will admit to having a bit of a one-tracked mind, or a type A personality and it tends to carry over into my knitting, even when I try hard to not let it. I finish one project before I start another, with the exception of socks, and the blanket...both of which can get a little boring after a while. So right now I've finished my Wicked sweater and its hanging out in the living room, wet blocking, and as soon as I get a helper I will put finished photos of Wicked and the Lucy cardigan. (ravelry has pictures just none with me in the sweaters!)

I've started a new hat for myself. Something that is a bit more grown up than my KRAZY KITTY hat...trust me its insane. I'm actually attempting fair isle and its been super-duper easy...duh. (People have been knitting for centuries, and they weren't rocket scientists, so why would fair isle be impossible? Sometimes I completely talk myself out of stuff...stupid.) So tonight I am watching Rays baseball, making a pizza with about a million vegetables on it, and knitting my hat.

Unfortunately in my A/P class we will not be having a cadaver. I am totally bummed. We had a cadaver but there was something wrong with the preservation so it had to be returned. I'm just wondering if you get store credit for that type of thing. And if so, what is a defective corpse worth? A pair of Jimmy Choos?

Speaking of which, saw the Sex and the City movie. It was pretty good. A little like a really long version of the show, but I always liked the show so...suited me just fine. Poor bf went with me, on the promise of nudity and sex, and nearly cried he was so bored. He's wonderful, huh?

This yarn is for Dad's new hat...its going to be really rad once it's done, but I've already started one hat...so it will have to wait for a bit...just a teaser photo.

PEACE AND LOVE to all...
