just a quick little update this time. i just got home from work about 20 minutes ago (its currently 2am. yippee.) and i'm still a little wired from all the coffee i drank...so i thought i'd be a little productive and give another little update :)

my stepmom is pregnant with a boy. yes you heard right....i'm 26 and my stepmom is about to have a child. its weird, i know, but she's still kind of young (only 10 years older than i am....she deserves to have as many kiddos as she wants i suppose). and before you ask, my dad is kind of young as well. he was only 17 when i was born. young parents....
so anyway, i was thinking of knitting up a little blanket and some cute washcloths for them. i'm thinking this blanket would be cute...but smaller. i probably won't have it finished by the time my little brother is born, but he won't know ;)

i forgot to mention that i bought some yarn at Y2E when i was there. i couldn't resist....it was some very interesting stuff. one of the balls was a brand called R2...its a nylon tape yarn in white. its very soft and really interesting. the other is a tape yarn as well....but its got a print of black and pink flowers on it. i'm thinking i want to make something special...but not sure what. i only have a little of each kind...less of the print than the white. i'm sure i'll figure out something cool to do with it :)

*le sigh* i'm also going to have to either: a) get a second job or b) get a different FULL TIME job near my apt. i'm getting less and less hours at starbuck's and its making me angry seeing as i have to drive 30 minutes to and from work (an hour driving total....). my manager knows this, but for some reason doesn't think to give me any more hours....especially since its her fault i haven't been able to transfer yet. i pass 2 starbucks on my way to work and there are at least 6 around my house. but she claims she has to hire someone to take my place and then train them and then file for my transfer and find a store that has an opening....blah blah blah. ah well. i kind of wanted a new job anyway.....that store is too stressful....especially since its a drive-through and i'm ALWAYS on drive-through. i also dislike having to come in at 4:30 am one day and 4:30 PM the next.....my body can't handle that kind of drastic sleep change. maybe when i was 18 or 19....but i put too much stress on myself and it's aged me.

i just realized i'm rambling. like i said....too much coffee! haha :)
alrighty i'm going to go try and get some rest now. i'll give another update once i've either finished a washcloth or started on the blanket :) maybe hopefully i'll finish that capalet and isabeau purse that are in my wip's list as well ;)
