Things are looking up.
Things seem to be picking up for me as of late. There's been a lot of good news and good luck.
On the car front... I got my car back about a week ago from the garage after having a new engine put in along with other misc. work. It was making a funny sound when I accelerated so I dropped it back off to the garage, worried sick that something else went wrong and picturing yet another huge car repair bill. Luckily, it was just a bolt that needed to be tightened. I got it back today and everything seems to be in working order!
On the family front... My brother Dave joined the Marines awhile ago. He took a delayed entry so that he could stick around for my birthday and was scheduled to leave June 23rd. He found out yesterday that his date got pushed back even further and he will now be here until July 10th.
On the friends front... Seeing Gabe on Monday was awesome. I hadn't seen him for about two weeks and was seriously starting to miss him. I don't know how I would classify our "relationship." There's no doubt that we're more than just friends and both care about each other tremendously. The timing is just not right for a serious relationship, but neither of us are dating other people, and as of right now neither of us have any interest in seeing anyone else. He's coming back down here this weekend. Saturday night, my brother Dave, Lauren, Gabe and I are all going out to dinner before Lauren's birthday party. Sunday Gabe and I are heading down to Smithville, a historic village with the cutest little shops, then going out for dinner before catching The DaVinci Code. I'm looking foward to spending some more quality time with him.
On the knitting front... No progress has been made on the Lady E stole. I haven't touched it since Sunday. I cast on last night for Orangina, but had to frog it a few times and finally just gave up. The yarn just doesn't want to be that top. So after a quick inventory of the stash, I decided to cast on for yet another Wavy. In royal blue Cascade 220 Superwash I bought months ago to make a scarf for my friend Val. She's been waiting patiently for awhile now, so I figured I might as well just get started on it.
My insane addiction to washcloth knitting has me also craving fancy soaps that I can give away with my washclothes. I stumbled across Breezy Willow Farm's website and promptly ordered their Totally Mango Soap, Emerald Seaweed Soap, Patchouli & Wilde Rose Soap, Earthly Lavender Soap and their Ginger Yuzu Soap. I can't wait for them to get here!
On the vacation front... I'll be leaving the day after my birthday to go out to Ohio for a week to see my sister. I'm really excited as it's been a few years since I've been there. I've already looked up yarn stores, and there's one in Dayton that I'm hoping she'll take me out to. I'm sure she would if I ask nicely.
