Yarn Yarn Yarn

So the other day I was in Ruhama's shopping for my secret pal and picked up 2 balls of Mission Falls merino, one in a tealy blue, one in a green. Got home and checked her survey, she likes pinks and blues. I was only half off. So I went back today and picked up a skein of something else for her--I'm 99.9% sure she has no idea who i am or even what my blog address is, but just in case of that .1%, i won't say what kind. don't want to spoil the surprise!!!

after that, i went up to The French Knot, another yarn store in the area. It was MUCH smaller than Ruhama's, but the ladies there, Flora and Diane, were suuuuuper nice and helpful. AND their prices are way low!! AND they were having a sale! Everything was 20% off! and all the Noro was 30% off! so, i restrained myself to only buying 2 balls of Noro Kureyon and one ball of supersoft yumminess for my secret pal. i love this spoiling stuff, i don't feel guilty spending money on yarn since it's not for me! ha! but i'm definitely going back to the French Knot. cheap cheap cheap.

i'm working on the sleeves to my striped raglan. no matter how hard i try, i CANNOT get rid of the ladders i am making. i've never had a problem before, and it's making me so mad. i'm hoping that a wash and dry will sorta even out the tension, but i'm not too optimistic. still, it's so cute so far. i'm hoping to have it done by the beach (9 days!!!). it gets cool enough at night that i could wear it. motivation!! funny, since i SHOULD be more motivated to get my fat arse to the gym, so that i look decent in a swimsuit!!! where are my priorities?!?!?!

this getting up at 6 business sucks. i'm tired all day! but i can't bring myself to go to bed at 10 for some reason. D on the other hand, already out, and hour earlier than usual, b/c he has to get up an extra 15 minutes to shave. i have no willpower.

i've decided that now until the beach, i will go the gym, and snack on lots of carrots and avoid sweets. and try and drink only water, and not diet coke, which i think will be really hard for me to do. :/

ah. i guess i shall try and get myself to sleep.

buenas noches!
