Sorry for neglecting my blog for so long! Here's a quick update as to what's been happening.

Got together with good buddy, Anna, and Jess of KnitsbyJess for a night of knitting!

Jess & me working on our own projects

Anna showing Dena how it's "done"

Even the kitty wanted to learn


Darin and I are moving at the end of March, so, I've been sorting through our belongings, getting rid of a lot of junk and packing the rest. Here, our kitty, Mabel, is enjoying new places to rest in empty crevices.


A couple weeks ago, I got to go to the Minnesota Zoo with my friend, Lindsay. She and her husband have a membership there, so I got to go for free! Thanks, Lindsay!

I will update more later about the Free People Valentines Day Craft Swap I was involved in.

Worst Luck Ever

Update: My car got looked at by a mechanic and he could find NOTHING wrong. The car has been starting perfectly fine since the incident. Praise the Lord it didn't cost anything to look at/fix. Just the towing expense, which, ironically, we wouldn't have actually needed if we would have waited another day. I'm very thankful the weather has warmed up to high 30s this week. I hope it stays that way!
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Darin is right when he says I have the worst luck with cars. Tonight I went out to my car after working the 5:00- 9:30 shift at TS. It was 3 degrees outside and my car wouldn't start. Nothing at all. Not even a wimpy attempt to start. Just nothing. So I called Darin and he drove the 25 mins to come jump my car. Except when he pulled the lever to pop the hood, the lever broke. So, we couldn't pop the hood. We just drove home and left it in the parking lot. Will take care of it tomorrow. It was too late and too cold tonight.

To make things worse, Darin already has a leaking tire that needs to be replaced. I hope my car needs nothing more than a new battery. Life just seems unfair sometimes. Darin and I are both working like crazy to pay off debt and try to get ahead - but things like this make it so impossible.

I guess I should count my blessings despite a negative attitude at the moment. Things could be A LOT worse. That's it for now. Later.
