Oh how I love my crack house...

Or my knit shop. Kinda the same thing. I look forward to going there and spend way more than I planned to. Yesterday I went in with the intent of getting one skein of yarn to complete a scarf for my niece. I walked out with two sets of needles, 5 balls of yarn, a pattern for socks and an invitation to come by anytime to work on projects and the people working there would help me out. I also was told that there would be a huge sale the day after Christmas everything in the store at least 30% off. Yes so if you like to knit and live in Indy or may be visiting Indy over Christmas go to the Mass Ave Knit Shop and stock up. They are running the sale till Dec 31st.

So yes I love this place and I encourage all who like to knit to visit this wonderful opium den. Yes I am comparing my knitting habit to drug addiction.

Seriously thank god for the weekend.

Yes indeed I have a weekend where I am required to be at school or a school event.

And what pray tell should I do with all this free time. I am glad I asked. I may venture down to my new crack shack. Yes I have been knitting and yes it is an addiction now. I love looking for yarn and I love looking for hardware. This place is so great it has a much larger selection of yarn both differnt kinds of wools and blends and colors. The limitation of color choices has been bothering me with such places as the Hobby Lobby and JoAnns. This place has a huge selection. Also I don't feel like a preditor in this place. When I go alone to HL or JA's I feel like they are look at me like I am a pedophile. When Xena and I went last weekend there were two men in the store knitting, oh yes I could also just go down and knit. How cool and before you say it yes, how lame as well. I don't care.

Now the one draw back to this place is that I do pay for the joy of knitting. It is very expensive and I have to monitor my treks there. I could be heading to Bankurpcy court if I go too much, but I would have lots of Bitchin Sweaters!

I am trying to stave of the Flu that has been traversing the halls here. I am really tired but I have hit that tired run down phase where you find an odd reserve of energy. I have been really productive tody. I caught up on Lesson plans for 3 of my classes. I am now 2 weeks ahead. Yea I don't know where this is coming from but I am running with it till I drop, which I figure will be 7:32 tonight. Here's hoping Crazy Me will do the laudry and straighten up the living room and maybe do some dishes., because Lazy Me hasn't been doing much and Motivated Me has been screening his calls.
