eeeeee!
I am in the midst of job applications! It appears that the job description is written for me, as I meet about 99% of the requirements and job description already. Woo hoo! Still.. it is tough to remember and put into words all that I have done the past few years!
Knitting is getting done, but it's on this sweater that has eleventy million miles of stockinette stitch, so not interesting. Also, it is gray. Good for project spectrum, but I am a multi-color sort of gal. (husband insisted on gray! ;) Sigh..
Spinning! I added some paillette/sequin doohickies to a couple of yarns today and found it to be such a pain! The thread (from habu I think?) was overplied and twisty and the one yarn was still actively plying back on itself the whole time. Grrr. Still, it was good to numb my mind a little for application words!
Moving!!! We took two car-loads of boxes to my dad's, as well as a bookcase and recliner. Our (really huge!) bedroom now looks sooo much bigger. Our new bedroom will be like half the size of the current one, so no more shelves or recliners! But really - I always told myself I'd read or knit in there, and never once did in three years! Who am I kidding?! It's sad to pack it up, but good to pare down!

Hi! If you're moving and looking to pare down, try listing things on Craigslist. There is one for every state (or at least most of them!). I have sold quite a few items in an effort to clean out my basement. You'll be amazed at the stuff that people want that you think is junk!
Wow - big changes!
Also - as well as Craigslist, there's also a Yahoo group called Freecycle - which is area specific, I use Marin Freecycle, and it's good. Get people to come pick up your stuff, and not have to pay dump fees.
Hope the job hunting goes well. Paring down, moving, job hunting. Sounds like you're really holding up well - I'd probably be curled up in a ball on my bed ;-)
