Confessions of a yarnaholic

Alright, so Bryan and I recieved a nice chunk of change from his mom. We had plans to use it to pay the truck down, trade the truck in, and get a van ... Well, lets just saythe dealer fiance manager we dealt with wasn't very nice with me. He kept hassling us, talking over me, and telling me to talk to my husband [Bryan] when I asked him question. Uhh, I'sorry, I'm asking YOU, not my husband. After taking all sorts of hassle and abuse for a good 15 minutes we left. So, now we have $16,000 *burning a hole* in our pockets. haha!

We are paying off all of our bills . and that leaves us with a little over $8,000 now, which we planned to save. However, we went on a bit of a shopping spree today. There are some REAL good deals going on right now, and I took advantage of them ... and plan to as well tomorrow. Bryan and I went to best buy to get some things for the truck, snce w'll be having that for a few more years to come. Then, we were off to Joanns! Now, I went to Joanns earlier today with the girls, and got SOME yarn, but the girls were getting fussy since it was nearing naptime, so I checked out. We went back after Best Buy .. and I got even more, and plan to check out one about 2 miles from our house tomorrow to get more. They are sorta forgotten when it comes to yarn, since this location is mostly fabric. You never know .. they could have a overabundance of clearance yarn, and in a variety of colors as well! Well, bought 24 skeins of fun fur, all 9 skeins of this pretty Bernat bling bling that was on clearance, and 6 LAAARGE skeins of their Sensations yarn. I'll probably go back for MORE of that as well...haha!. Ohh, and I also just urchased another 30 skeins in various colors online, since they don't carry them in the stores. Pictures are below of the yarn I purchased ... I got a REAL good deal on them, that's for sure, and I can't wait to get back to work on my hats! I have 6 done so far similar to this one, just in different colors. I will be putting them all on my shop shortly. I plan to do a summer sale, but I don't want to get bombarded with orders and then my shop inventory dwindles down to nothing ... haha. I'm in the process of scoping out charities to donate to as well using key words in the "notes" section. That's about it for now.





Oh! I ordered two books off Amazon earler, and purchased three others at K-Mart. From Amazon, I purchased In Faithfulness, He Afflicted Me for a read-a-long. The button is on my sidebar if you want to read along with us! I also purchased The Love Dare. Bryan and I have been struggling with certain aspects of our marriage. I'm almost POSITIVE that it's because of how our relationship started. It wasn't how I wanted it to go, and I think it really made a mess of things, filled us with empty promises and whatnot. I mentioned it to Bryan, and he's up for the 40-day challenge featured in it. We'll see how it goes. Its not like our marriage is on the rocks it'll help us practice unconditional love which in my opinion, everyone should do. =)

I purchased a Nora Roberts book, "The Law Of Love." It has two novels in one: "Lawless" and "The Law is a Lady." I LOVE Nora Robert's books ... two years ago, I went through four of her novels the week we were up at the lodge. I can just get lost in them. I also got "Laughter for a Woman's Soul" "Joy for a Woman's Soul" and "Chicken oup for Every Mom's Soul." Well, That's it for now ... Abigail is fast asleep, so Im off to bed myself. I need to call Dell up in the morning to see how they will be able to fix this keyboard! Since I pulled it out of the box, the keys stick and don't register, even though I hit them. I'm contantly going back and correcting my misspelled words due to it. Ciao!
