I finally started writing my book. Of course, it's been about a week since I started and I only wrote about 2 paragraphs before I was done, but hey it's a start! I will have to start making it a habit to work on it every single day so that I actually finish it.
I also started knitting a blanket, of course 2 weeks into the project I noticed a huge mistake and had to take it all out. I haven't had the heart to start over again yet. When I finally get that done it will be gorgeous... course it was more of a throw than a blanket anyway.
I have had a huge urge to do a lot of crafty stuff lately but I haven't really haven't had the time, or given myself the time to finish any projects. I'll have to figure out what are my priorities I suppose... had to happen some time :)
We also cancelled the cable, which somehow brought our bill down over $100 a month... CRAZY!! I've just been watching all my shows on Hulu.com and through Amazon. It works really well because I usually have Wednesdays off and Tuesday night is a very big night for my shows so I have something to do before I really get up and start moving around on Wednesdays.
I have applied for a job in Seattle. Still waiting to hear back and see if I am the right person for a job. If not, we have been pre-approved for a loan on a house/condo. Wednesday we are going to go take a look at some places in Ventura and Oxnard. Unfortunately, we probably won't be able to get something extremely close to Santa Barbara, but that means I'll get to do a lot more driving and listening to my music and books on tape again... Guess that means I should update my ipod... it has been awhile.
I'm still trying to read more books on top of everything else! I have a Kindle Fire and I absolutely love it, but it does take away from the strictly reading aspect of having an e-book reader. There are so many more things that I can do with it, so I am less likely to actually pick up a book and read it, unless it is a book that has me hooked. I have yet to really find one of those this year, so wish me luck on that!!!
