Or, buying a house could be an awful disaster that just won't stop. Perhaps I'm being slightly over dramatic here, but it's more likely that I'm being largely over dramatic. Either way, I'm not responding to the stress level very well. :) But that's okay, because as soon as all the house buying stress is over, we get to mooooove!!! Woohoo! Now that's something to look forward to - packing, lifting, unpacking, dropping boxes of glass things, and not being able to find anything ever again!! (Okay, so that's definitely over dramatic. Whatever.)
Regardless, I'm making the most beautiful pair of socks ever seen by human eyes. And I'm still working on my sweater - slowly, though. I did finally get into the second ball of yarn. Ha! The latest lace shawl is, I believe, crumpled in a ball under the couch. I should probably be making something for a baby gift, but, well... That's not going to happen.
Now, I would like to spend the rest of my afternoon reading about how to care for chickens, but instead I must work.. Boo.

Today (or maybe yesterday?) is 6 months into the new year. So, let's visit this again.
"1. Finish a kitting project that requires commitment. Afghan, lace shawl, sweater, knee socks, and such would all count.
2. Buy a house. Well, okay. I'd like to own a house by June, 2010. So, be well on my way to owning a house.
3. Write a business plan. Perhaps start a business. Renee and I would really like to have somewhere to employ ourselves. Or, at least, her.
4. And, of course, go to the gym. "
4. Well, there has been no gym going as of yet, so that's a fail.
3. There has been no business plan writing, so that's a fail. But, there is business starting in the works. So that's a pass. I think we're even here, and since we're only half way through the year, I'll say we're ahead!
2. Buy a house - we're now 1/3 the way through this goals time line, and we'll be in contract on a property this evening. So, this is certainly ahead of schedule. Maybe even enough ahead to count twice!
1. Knit something of consequence - I've finished two lace shawls, and I'm 1/11th the way through a sweater for the 3 rd time. Perhaps the sweater will count towards "of consequence". The shawls were both with fingering weight, so I don't think they count. I'll say this one is on schedule.
And, I'd just like to say this again - we're buying a house. We've counter-offered our hearts out, and accepted. So now start the inspections and such! It's so exciting!
