3 things I love about Spring:

I don’t get it. Am I supposed to make a list with a lie? Or just say hi to you in a comment to get an entry into your contest?
Here are my three things ok?
1) I’mfreakingoutbecauseI’vebeenmaderedundantandIdon’thaveanewjobyetandwe justboughtahouse! (Bad things are more palatable without spaces in their sentences.)
2) I’ve decided that I probably don’t need any more yarn. Especially sock yarn. Especially when we’ve got a mortgage to pay.
3) I have incredibly bad luck. With most people bad things happen in threes. With me it’s more like fortytwos.
P.S.- I’ve got some Wollmeise and it’s fantastic. I believe completely it would sell out in 5 minutes.
P.P.S.- A latte would really do me good right now. It’s a shame we’re all liars today!
I love these three things, wink, nod:
1. Daylight Saving Time, we can go to the park AFTER dinner!
2. Spring Break means I get to sleep in!!
3. Spring Break means I don’t work since I substitute teach…..
*I know it sounds like not working is a good thing- but how will I pay for all that yarn??
I wish the California budget was balanced so they could hire me and see what a great teacher I am!!! Everyone here is getting fired….soon there won’t be any schools to go to:(
1-Knitting/yarn
2-Spinning/fiber
3-(after last week…)SLEEP!
