Sounds like a blog name. LOL.
We were supposed to do a yard sale yesterday and didn’t. I needed to pick up the Harry Potter book so I went hunting for the thread to do a special order with while I was out. I only managed to lay hands on one color I’d need (and white), so I’m going to have to order the other, which is (of course!) leading to a teeny crisis of sorts, because shipping and handling is weird and I can’t figure out how to work the ordering so that it doesn’t give me a headache. I’ll be ordering it today, though, whatever I decide, so that I’ll have plenty of time to get this done before the baby makes his appearance. If he waits until he’s scheduled to, anyway…
More troubling is that Michaels is apparently about to redo their yarn section. They were already ripping it apart at the first one I went to. And I’m not liking what they’ve done so far, though we’ll have to see what’s what when they’ve finished. It looks, though, like one of the things they’re doing is cutting their selection of crochet thread in half. Cebelia is gone, except in white and ecru. At least they still had more than one size of those. *sigh* The second one I went to had the colors on clearance. I also picked up some clearance Sugar ‘n Cream in the big 12 oz skeins. I’d have loved to grab one of every color, but I restrained myself. 5 bucks. 5 bucks! And I couldn’t manage more than three without invoking the credit gods, and they have a job to do getting thread at Joann’s online today so I didn’t dare.
Did I say *sigh*?
So that all turned into a pretty extensive trip. I took the kids with me and they were, for whatever reason, absolutely angelic. Go figure.
So I got home, tried to figure out how to order most cost-effectively for a while, and when that got frustrating, dived into the Potter book and read pretty much non-stop through to the end. And I liked it. And that makes me very, very happy.
So today I’ve got to finish a couple of things I have pending for the shop, and do the cleaning I’ve been threatening to do while it’s reasonably cool, and do that ordering, and…I’m sure I’m forgetting something, but it ought to be busy. I’ve still got stash to detangle, charity squares to send out, and a couple of shop descriptions to add metric measurements to, too. Oh, and a squiggle to finish and figure out how to fix. So yeah. I’m scarce. And that’s before factoring in that I’m doing this all at half-speed, because this baby will be here no later than four weeks from tomorrow…
I’m tired just thinking about it. Also insanely happy. Those things tend to go together for me, weirdly enough.
