my income tax came in. actually, my state income tax came in, even before the federal, so i'm a wee bit confused about that- but no matter, i got money! and as all reasonable and rational people do, i decided that i would save it. nest eggs are good!
and then i spent it.
well, actually, i didn't spend all of it. i didn't even spend half, but i still feel guilty about it, seeing as i've been cut a day at work, and money's a bit tight. ya know how i was making fun of my friend with all the yarn? (whom i totally adore, by the way. she gave me goodbye yarn. obviously she knows the way to my heart. yarn, and three musketeers bars. i will love her forever.) well, ummm..... i spent my money on yarn too. i walked into the yarn shop with sixty dollars. anybody who knows a lot about yarn can tell you that sixty bucks really isn't a lot of money to spend on yarn, and i don't have a credit card. i thought "hey, i'm going to limit myself. i can only spend the money that i have in my wallet. this is good." nope. there was a gas station with an atm within walking distance. and guess who walked her happy butt over there to use it? *points with thumbs* this kid.
it was the sock yarn that did it. oh, they have sock yarn. (i have never been to this shop, by the way. it was a new shop for me, and i think that may have been part of the problem.) i got three skeins of it, and blew my sixty bucks right there. but man, this sock yarn..... well, you don't even know. let's just say that i have a weakness for anything acid green and leave it at that. but three new pairs of socks, in really cool patterns? well, that's at least a month of knitting fun right there. i paid the man, and he went into the back to wind my yarn for me (i might add here- a dude working in a yarn shop? totally hot. he was straight too. sixty, with grandkids, but straight. i love that. and the fact that i thought it hot- quite bothersome.) and i felt quite proud of myself. but then i wandered over to the knitting notions and saw.....
sock keepers. yup. i have been coveting them with all the covetousness of my heart for just about ever. and then i hopped myself over to the atm. i bought three. i never have this many socks in progress. three?? what the hell, me. sigh. and i got needles too. ya know. so i can make more socks. to justify the sock keepers. eiii.
so there it is. i can't tease my friend any more again ever. please don't tell my husband?
lol
