OTN………..

Right now, since I can take some time to knit again, is a pair of socks with a simple lace eyelet pattern in them in Panda Wool, and a baby sweater. I don’t know why I’m knitting the baby sweater, I just am. No one I know needs it right now, I just thought it would be a good way to ease into a sweater for me some day without the fear of taking on such a huge project with no experience in sweaters at all.

Maybe I’ll put it on my yorkie. My kids say she’s a pampered brat anyway. Hey, maybe I’ll get one of those baby slings just to irritate the kids. Would be pretty funny.

Budgets….and not having one, really

My doc wants to put me off work, which is horrible when you are self employed. I’m hoping to pick up some money during craft fair season to get me through. If I decide to take the time off it will be rough. Plugging lots of numbers into the ole budgeting software doesn’t seem to help when there really won’t be a budget. I wish there was some way to predict what the big seller this year will be. I’d put my money in the supplies and go for it. Where’s that crystal ball?

The Charmed Life and Why Not Me?

I have a good friend, I consider him one of my best friends, who’s one of those people who leads a charmed life. He can live on the wild side, do things I’d never even consider, and get away with it. You know the type. He’s handsome, charming, and lucky. He enter’s a contest and he wins. He goes to the river boat and comes home a winner. Nothing he does ever turns out wrong. He makes me sick. Just kidding, he know’s he’s my best buddy and I love him to death, I just wish some of it would rub off on me.

Anyway, he went to Vegas. He’s a single guy with no responsibilities so he took over $4000 with him. He called me when he got home and told me he’d won $21,000 in Vegas! I didn’t believe him,so he sent me a picture of his nephew with the money all spread out, cause the crazy nut took it home in 100 dollar bills. So not only did he end up staying at a place like Flamingo Las Vegas(not sure where he stayed, I can’t remember but I’m sure it was expensive cause that’s the way he lives) with a free room comped by the casino because of the amount of money he was playing with, he came home with almost as much money in cash as I make in a year. Don’t some people just make you sick?
