so the countdown is official! I am finally counting down my days at work! And it feels oh so great and right. They finally hired a new gal- she started yesterday but she only comes in for two hours in the mornnings because she is finishing up her old job. I gotta say, I am not impressed. But looks can be decieving and she has two more weeks to give a show. Lets hope she has what it takes.
I have packed more. Mostly my stuff because I honestly have no idea what my hubby needs and doesn't need to survive in his last couple of weeks of school. Speaking of which, he passed his big, comprehensive test of his whole masters program! How incredibly awesome is that!?! So proud of him! He will graduate on the 9th and then we are out of Ellensburg for good. Hiphip hooray! We go look at our apartment next weekend and move into the weekend after that. I just get jitterety thinking about it.
I went to many garage sales this weekend-sorely disappointed on the whole. But I did come across one lucky find. A big tupperware bucket of knitting needles for $5! Score! There are DPN's, straights, circs. I think it is all Boye but this means I can give my MIL most hers back. I am excited to go through them. I have already packed them up with most of my crafty stuff. I didn't want to start any new projects-so I put away temptation but packing it all away! Now I just start at the box longingly....
Next week the gals at work are throwing me a pizza party-Mmmm for Pizza Hut pan pizza, extra cheese, no toppings. I have to be extra good so I can have that goody goodness! Mmm...I can't wait for that!
2 more weeks! Woohoo!
Today was a good day..
Oh boy was it a good day! No, the treadmill did not get picked up but that meant I got to go shopping after work. I did stop by the LYS-it is so pretty there! So colorful and I stroked so many yarns I have heard about but never felt. It was great. Unfortunately, the only thing I bought was a small bottle of wool wash. I will go back and conquer that store- I just didn't know what to buy! I don't knit socks or other small projects so it was hard to just pick a small skein just for the kicks. Grr..
Then I headed off to Goodwill. It always soothes. Or tries. I bring in so much to the fitting rooms and only so much go back to the clerk. How sad. Where did that belly come from anyway? I better think about taking care of that. :) But I did come out with a skirt- oh la la and a grand purse. Every woman needs another purse. Especially since I am getting rid of two. I do need to replace them, right?
Yay for new purses! I can't wait to break that in! (Though I think the breaking in has been done, but I get a "new" purse regardless of that minor fact)
And then when I came home-surprise- A box on the counter for me! Yay! My yarn from KnitPicks came in! Woohoo! I ordered some delicious Ambrosia when they were having their sale.. I want to try to make a sweater of some sorts. Now I need a pattern. Until then I will just stroke the yarn..:)
On a final note, here is my blanket, pre-blockage...Oh boy!

Hmm..
So I think I am half way done with a blanket. (Don't quote me on this) Sorry, no pic. I want to block it but...Yeah.. I am using up my Patons Merino Wool and I have been researching on how I need to do this. Should I just use water and some soap? Or should I head out to the new LYS so I can buy some wool wash? But want kind of wool wash would I buy? How much do I use? Oh, so many questions...But that does give me an excuse to go to the LYS..Hehehe..
I sold our treadmill this past week-it is getting picked up tonight. So I would have room in the spare bedroom to block. Soon that room will be filled up with boxes as I start to pack up more and more. The countdown is getting closer and closer-we move in almost a month! Yay! We did approved for a place, I do not know if it is the upstairs apt. or the downstairs beauty. Hmmm. Soon I will know..
Until then, I will have to ponder on my dilemma for the day-wool wash or not? And what will I eat for lunch?

vancouver update
ARG! i have a new post and then stupid, stupid explorer failed on me...Let me try this again..Have I mentioned how much I hate explorer..Well, I do!
So, Hubby and I am in the midst of being accepted for an apartment in the grand neighborhood of Orchards in Vancouver! Woohoo! First, they have to make sure we are not some crazy criminals who trashed our previous apartments like some drunken rock-n-roll stars. Which, I think they will find we are not! In fact, my record is squeaky clean, as this apartment we are in now is my first place away from my folks. I am such a big girl! Hubby has the three year renting past that they are looking for-whew! Also, they have to look at bank accounts-icky! But we are good for the moment. We have to yet to pay for hubby's CPA exam and pre-exam study supplies, new furniture, moving expenses, graduation stuff, and other miscellaneous costs. So, overall, I think we are good to go! I can't wait! I am in love with those apartments. I seriously think I was drooling when we walked through them. They even have a garage. Mmm...
Now I just need to get a job. I have applied all over that town. Okay, I think I have put in 5 or 7 different applications but when you live four hours away, that puts a damper on things. Grr.. But I still have a little over a month so I will keep trying and going for the gold here. My last day here at the law firm is June 6th so I got options. I think. I forgot where I was going with that last sentence. Sorry. But I will just keep swimming, as Dory would say, until I land the perfect job!
Well, back to some "work" (ie play on the internet).
