too cute

If this isn't the cutest thing, I don't know what is:

OK, I waited for half an hour for the video to upload and it wouldn't, so here is a link to it:

I also got this gorgeous sock yarn yesterday from "Vormer" on eBay. She was so nice and the hand dyed yarn was so affordable. She even offered to hand dye custom colorways. I think that this brown with a nice rosey pink would look great, too! (Yes, I need to take a better picture)

stress

So my husband and I are arguing about selling the house. Not whether or not to sell it, but what to list it at. He thinks the realtor and I are crazy with the price we came up with (like we just pulled it out of the air) and that we'll never get that much. I tried to explain that you ask for more because a buyer is going to offer less. He's so pessimistic and negative, talking about this being a terrible time to sell a house, saying it will be on the market for 3-6 months. I may choose to divorce him instead of buying another house!

a new start

Today I took a drive to where my new job will be. It’s 35 miles from my house and it took about 40-45 minutes to get there. One great thing about this new job is it’s one block away from the Human Bean!

Getting this house on the market, selling it and moving will be a very good thing! It will get me closer to my new job and get Tom closer to his job. I am just hoping the process doesn’t take long. We’ve been cleaning and disposing of stuff for over a week now and I feel like we still haven’t gotten anywhere. I’ve packed up all of my extra clothes, shoes, purses (because I’m a girl), movies, books and put aside things for Goodwill and there is still stuff coming out of closets and bookcases! WTF? We need to get rid of all of this crap before we can clean!

On our way home we drove through Windsor to look at some of the tornado damage. It is amazing all of the devastation it caused! I couldn’t believe the things we saw. We stopped at my sister’s house for a while -- her house had only hail damage and she didn’t have power for about 3 days. I consider us very lucky that the worst we had was no power for maybe 8-10 hours. Speaking of which, we have no power now! So, I’m typing away on my laptop.
My niece’s birthday is on Sunday and I need to finish the socks I started knitting for her! My sister’s birthday is 2 days later. I’m planning on making her felted slippers, but I haven’t even finished the second one I was making my mom for mother’s day. I’m slacking! Wait! I have a great idea! I won’t go to work my last few days and I’ll stay home and knit! That won’t go over well with the husband. If I played hooky from work, 1) he’d be pissed, 2) he’d expect me to clean.
