so random: Blogger definitely told me that they had closed this account, so I opened up another and I was kind of bummed about having to start anew. When I clicked on it to edit this post I started this weekend, my old blog was back again!! YAY! I don't know how it happened, but I will sacrifice a few n00bs to the google god of the intwebz for bringing it back to me!!
I went into Yarns2Ewe today to talk with the owner about possibly picking up a few hours here and there. She explained to me the reality of a yarn shop: no one really needs them; it's completely for the love of knitting/crocheting. I wanted to open up my own yarn shop and told Michelle about it who quickly told me it would be a nearly impossible financial feat (considering that yarn isn't exactly business worthy). LOL! Since then, I've had her words stuffed somewhere in the back of my mind, but today I saw what she meant. I could have been discouraged by this; the owner was basically telling me that she doesn't really have room on the pay roll/ schedule to really hire someone else. I'm still optimistic about the possibilities!! :B one day, Teresa and I will have our yarn shop/ alpaca farm!! IT WILL BE GLORIOUS!!
Moving on to other business: I have some school work to catch up on and yet I'm wasting my time on the internet. But I have to wonder if maybe it's better for my mental health to let out some metaphorical steam via blogging/writing every once in a while. U of H is okay. I miss New Orleans something awful, and all of the people there. I know I shouldn't dwell on it but I can't help thinking about it even from the day to day situations. It's nice having my own apartment, but it can get a bit lonely. Which is why I'm trying to pick up a few hours at the yarn shop (and why I SHOULD be doing homework). Every time I even think about sitting down to do homework, I think of 20 great art projects I would love to finish.. Alas.. I have to make a living and graduate college. I've already wasted away 2-3 years. It's pathetic. BTW I've come to terms with that. Well sort of. I would much rather be in NOLA finish up any old stupid degree and then start teaching. More than that I would like to own a yarn shop. Even more than that I would like to be a famous jazz singer. :sigh: so much ambition, no follow through. That's my problem.
Oh well. Off to try and work on the follow through (and homework) :"C
wish me luck!
