weekly update

i'm knitting a bit. i'm sweating a lot. it has been unbearably warm here lately. hence the knitting not so much. i just don't like the feel of damp yarn. call me crazy. but there is light at the end of the tunnel. rather there is central air conditioning. or there will be. at the new place. see. since lesely has not found a new job yet. and since th elandlord is selling the current place...she has to move with mom to a new place. which happens to have airconditioning. yeay. the bad news i'm moving up to north denver. i am pretty sure we could spit on the airport from the new place. sigh. i'm gonna miss the boulder snb girls and guys. mental note, knit with them as much as possible before the move. i will however be able to visit the denver knitters more conveniently now. and even better i will be able to comfortably knit, even wool, in the summer. yeay.
cross your fingers i do find a job soon though. if nothing more than for my sanity. but most especially for my yarn budet :)

Good luck with the job search. At least you'll be closer though! Sorry for the move and all.

Oooh oooh oooh, does this mean you'll be living close to me? I know it doesn't have the ambiance of Boulder over here, but things are getting better, and you know you can hoof it to my place any old time for coffee and whatnots.

Well, I'm glad at least your move is bringing you closer to me. Moving sucks - hope it goes well. And drop me a line if you want to knit!
