• Moving Tangle to Main Street is proving to be a very good decision. We are SO busy down here! The amount of yarn pouring through the door is amazing and the amount of yarn pouring out of the door is equally amazing! Have I ever mentioned how much I love yarn?

• There has been a significant amount of family drama happening over the past weeks and I’m very frustrated with the fact that this blog has become so public that I can’t write about any of it. That’s actually why I’ve been so silent lately. I’m afraid of my blog… or rather, afraid of the backlash I’ll receive when I write what I’m ACTUALLY thinking, feeling and experiencing (voting for too!) :) I miss my most precious outlet! And therapy is SO much more expensive than blogging.

• Due to our family drama, we spent last week moving my SIL out of her house and our niece is living with us temporarily. I swear, with all three kids in my house right now, they are intent on my extreme torture. But they are enjoying each other a lot. Jim and I often marvel at how much sheer joy our children derive from such small things. I want to be like them SO badly. Plus it makes me feel like we’re doing something right because they are so dern happy.

• Because of our trip to Vegas and the drama that ensued afterwards, Jim and I had to restart our workout program last week. Today was the start of week two and I am proud to say that I’m already lifting more weight. The pain is getting to be something like a constant companion, but that’s just par for the course.

• Somedays I want to sell everything I own and move up to a little cabin in the mountains where I can knit constantly and live off of food I forage for. Just sayin.
