Alive & Kicking

I'm still alive. Promise. Life just ... got life-y. And busy! To be honest, I spent a LOT of time online looking at blogs and Flickr (for work and for fun), and sometimes I just want to not be on the computer. Plus, we're making an effort to not be such lazy bums that sit on the couch all night. So, I just needed a break. :)

Also, we're getting a kitten! Clara, the cat we already have, is technically "my cat" since I had her long before Kevin came around, so it will be nice to get a cat that is both of ours. We went to an animal drive at a shetler yesterday and they were ALL OUT OF KITTENS. What? I'm not really sure how that is even possible. I know we should be good human beings and get a full-grown cat, but I think Clara will respond much better to a kitten. And since she is de-clawed, I worry that a full-grown cat could beat her up. So, we are going to look again on Saturday.

I went to JoAnn's today for the first time in a long time. After an hour-long ritual of filling my basket and then emptying it again (craft stores are like one big impulse buy for me) I walked out with some yarn.

Here's to hoping that this

Can somehow turn into this

It's funny, I used to hate shrugs, and swore I never would wear one. Now I'm totally drawn to them. Go figure!

Yay! Hi!

Good luck with the kitty and the shrug. Love the gray yarn!
