Quick Update

Life is just a quick succession of busy nothings right now. The Pattern for My Life - (Wake up, go to work, go to the gym, go home, go to bed). Repeat between () as many times as necessary! GGGGRRRRR!!!!! I need something different - good different. I don't want any bad to happen to cause the something different to happen.

Next weekend the Red Sox will be playing the Devil Rays and DH has tickets. I was not too excited about going, so one of my friends is going with DH! hehehe...I am letting my husband go out with another woman!!! :-) We will be staying overnight in Tampa. I guess that is something different.

Some unfortunate news...Chez Casuelle (a LYS) has closed the store front. The internet business will still be open, but the actual store has closed. I enjoyed going to Leesburg to poke around and see what I could find.

New Horizons?

DH and I have been doing alot of talking lately. We are both extremely unsatisfied in our "professional" lives. I have been in the same industry in some way or another since I was 17!!! He has been with his company for 20 years. We are both very burned out (pun intended) here in Florida and want a change - a major change.

DH called our realtor this weekend to talk about putting our house on the market. The realtor said the market is somewhat down right now, and advised that we wait until late fall. Fine with me...gives DH and I time to do some research and it gives me some time to figure out what to do with all of the yarn I have.

I am celebrating five years with my current employer this month. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I have been employed with them since just about the time I moved down here from Tallahassee. As a way of expressing their gratitude for my loyalty, they sent a MasterCard Debit Card loaded with a little money. I took it directly to Chez Casuelle in Leesburg...and spent exactly the amount on the card! I will have pictures of the take soon...Just too bleepin' hot to go outside and arrange yarn for pictures.

Speaking of pictures...on my flickr site, I have several pictures of a volunteer turnip that "turned up" in my Dad's garden this year (he didn't plant any this year). This turnip is HUGE! Most of the time, turnips are probably the size of a tennis ball...this bad boy is about the size (if not a little bigger) than a basketball.

4th of July

DH and I went to a friend’s (L and her DH, J) house for the 4th. L has an amazing stash for a non-store owner. In the room she has set us as her craft room (the Green Room), she has a wall of yarn, basically separated by color. She has an electric drum carder, a great wheel, a Fricke, and a Hitchhiker. There is a sewing machine in the same room and a book case full of fiber arts books…That was enough to impress me, but I was thinking to myself that I could mount a close second with my stash. Hehehe…I was fooling myself. She then took us into another bedroom (the Yellow Room - keep in mind, these are not small rooms by any degree). One wall of this room was piled over my head (not too hard to achieve) with plastic bins. In these bins were more yarn and fleeces. I could see about six fleeces, but L assured me there were several more hidden away. Honestly, I cannot do justice to what I saw here…I wish I would have thought to take a picture of it. The funniest part of the Yellow Room was the look of sheer (no pun intended) terror on my DHs face. I could almost read his thoughts – OH MY GOODNESS, THIS IS WHAT MY HOUSE WILL LOOK LIKE BY THE END OF THE YEAR!!!!

DH and I had a great time with L & DH J. Hopefully, this will be the first of many get togethers! Oh, I forgot to mention, L has two wonderful kitties! I took some pictures of them…Here they are!
