It takes a while. We were moving a lot for a while. It was a standing laugh that we had boxes that hadn’t been opened from four previous moves. It is a pain!
I think it is clear that I was NOT in the middle of a move the last few weeks! Thank you!
I’ve been watching a lot of older action movies (Haywire, etc) but also watched ‘The Craft’ again. I love Fairuza Balk. She was so witchy (and weird) in that movie.
Congratulations, you two! And extra congrats to @dan3 for the special shoutout and the MMM badge!
Happy April, friends!
I’m slowly plugging along this week with something scheduled just about every day it’s okay, though. Hopefully, next week will be less busy and I can find some time to relax. I’m teaching myself to knit and I’m working on a tanktop that will hopefully be finished by the time the weather warms up!
School is moving right along – we’re almost to the end of the semester, and then it’s Summer Break! I need the break, for sure – I’m ready!
@Amethyst I used to love The Nancy Drew Mysteries! I wanted to be her when I grew up, (didn’t happen), and congratulations on your new windows!
I’m off the next few days, but on call, so I still have to sleep during the day. At 4:00 AM I went to water my plants on the front porch and had an unexpected surprise. After 3 years of babying my pineapple plant, I have a pineapple!
I wish to apologize for misleading readers, here. I had no idea the books I shared above were not public domain as yet. They are very old, but not quite old enough.
Awww what a cute pineapple @Ostara ! Congrats on taking such good care of the plant!
I’m still unpacking and trying to organize my life from a huge house to a very small apartment. But if we don’t get too much more snow today, I’m taking a break from unpacking and heading to Chicago to spend the weekend with @john1
Thank you @georgia, @dan3, and @Mystique! 3 years ago I put the top of a pineapple in a pot of dirt not thinking anything would happen.
@Mystique the last time I moved was such a nightmare, I swore I would never move again.That was 1993 and I haven’t moved since. Sending love to you Mystique!
I’m totally impressed with what you and several others on here do week to week. I would try to name them (I actually started to) but then I would miss one and realize it later and feel like a dork. While I may get recognized for sharing posts, if I go back and count, there are some in the shadows that do the most sharing week after week.
Thank you.
I tried crochet once (therapy for an injury). It was sad. Everything looked like a bad pot holder.
Crochet is my happy place but I want to make sweaters and socks. I don’t like crocheted sweaters or socks, so knitting it is! My grandma taught me to crochet when I was a kid, so my hands already have the dexterity for it. Now it’s just about learning how to move both hands at the same time instead of just one. You should give it a try again! And lots of “bad” pot holders can be sewn together to make a big, unique blanket!
This is absolutely a struggle for me I’m holding out hope, though, because I really want to make my own clothing that I’ll actually wear. I have to remind myself that I crochet so fast because I’ve been doing it forever. I can’t expect to knit as fast when I’ve only been doing it for a month or so lol
Sorry to hear about your snow and awful roads We got a little bit of snow last night but it’s raining now I’m ready for dry weather.
I do have a week long trip planned for the beginning of June. I start babysitting the grandkids again next week making it hard to get down there for a weekend as it takes an entire day to drive there. So probably won’t make it until then.
