I start my second job in about an hour and a half. I’m still nervous, even though it’s only a 4-hour shift and I’ll have someone showing me around–and the head librarian called me last night saying something about a “welcome party”–still, I’m all jittery! oh well. The worst thing is the unknown, and in about 5 1/2 hours, it’ll all be over with.
Last night I watched the Ghost Hunters Live Halloween special, but only till I fell asleep around 11 or so. I recorded it, though. The funniest thing was opening my DVD recorder box to set it up, since it had been sealed since I moved back to VA in March–and I found 4 or 5 books hiding underneath the recorder!
I thought I had given them away, but nope, there they were–my makeshift packing material. So now I find myself with 2 copies of Yarn Harlot’s Knitting Rules!, because I bought it again a few months ago when I thought I’d lost it. I might put the unread, new one on Ravelry for sale, or if no one buys it, I’ll do a giveaway here or on one of my Ravelry groups.
oh! And today marks 3 MONTHS sober on the no-buying-yarn diet! Go meeeeeee! Though it didn’t help to receive an email this morning from Blue Moon Fiber Arts, saying that there are spots open in the 2008 Rockin’ Sock Club and would I like to join?
It was mighty, mighty tempting, but I’m pretty sure I’ll pass. That’s a lot of money for yarn, especially when I still have plenty (did you see how many miles I realized I have?)…
(Also, I’m currently the high bidder on a thing on eBay, even though I probably won’t win the auction, I’d rather pool my money toward that, honestly. I’d get more use out of it right now. What’s this thing, you ask? You’ll find out, if I win the auction.
)
Wish me luck for tonight! I hope I don’t say anything stupid or mess up on my first day!


Congrats on your three months of sobriety!
Good luck on your first day! I’m sure it will go swell.
I tried to download my stash as an Excel spreadsheet … but I forgot that I don’t have Excel on my home computer. I’ll have to do it at work!
I was thinking of joining STR club too but yeah it’s a lot of money.
Congrats on doing well with not buying any yarn.
I kept checking g-mail to see if you were on during the live TAPS show. Don’t know if you’ve watched it all yet, but the last half hour was the best part, laughed SO hard, and I think I did hear the noise he said he heard. Weird.
