It’s come down to this — apparently my school next semester (I have two more to go, and had been paying for it myself until my jobs petered out this fall) as well as my impending trip to Portland (did I tell you I was going to Portland on Christmas Day? Well, I am.) have officially impinged on my ability to [relatively] guilt-free buy yarn online. BR just told me that we weren’t as far ahead as we had been, so now I can’t go to KPixie and buy the gorgeous Red/Pink Artyarns yarn that I love but most definitely do not need.
I hope our lack of funds doesn’t keep me from the bargain bin at my LYS, since today I got a gorgeous skein of Silk Garden as well as some black Rowan Cashsoft. I don’t know what I’ll do with two skeins of random yarn, but I’ll figure something out.
When I wasn’t driving in the rain today I was working on my baby sweaters. It’s my friend’s son’s birthday on Tuesday and even though I have a 10 page paper on entertainment ratings systems due, I thought I might be able to crank out a sweater for him. So far, it’s not looking good. I mean it looks okay, but it’s slow going.
I’m also depressed because yet again I found the “perfect” job, only it’s in Manhattan, and I live in California! What is up with anything having to do with video games being out of the Bay Area? Don’t they know Pong was created here?

Portland on Christmas Day? Family?
ah yes, the perfect job in the not so perfect place blues. I’ve had that in the past and I’ll be looking at that in the future too, after I graduate. I got it easy in the sense that I don’t have husband and kids (and technically Ophie belongs to my roommate, so I don’t even have a kitty) to think about. But I like it in Socal! At least I don’t have to worry about that right now. Still got a few months.
good luck on your paper and finding loop-holes for guilt free yarn shopping.
