Good morning,

I woke up at 5 and couldn't go back to sleep. Bummer. Gone are the days when this was my regular time to get up. It didn't seem so early then. LOL We met with the owner of the space yesterday and got the lease which I dropped off at my lawyers. Today should be the day to sign. Exciting! Tomorrow we go to the big wholesale convention. We will also get to see some dear friends who live in Indianapolis. They drove all the way here to see me when I was sick. So excited to see them again. we are staying two nights with them and two nights at the convention. I am developing a strong dislike of making phone calls. It never used to bother me, but now it's downright annoying. I've had to call Nicor and ComEd and all the utilities involved with a new place. Maybe it's because I haven't moved in a long time. I used to move every two years and had to do it so often back then. Or it's a  quirk of being older. I'm generally pretty mellow but these calls are getting to me! Buck up!

It looks like more rain for a few more days, but no severe weather here. My youngest lives in Little Rock but was just south of where the tornado hit. He does work in Maumelle occasionally but not that day. Grateful!

I hope you all have a great day!

Good morning,

It is somewhat unnerving to buy stock for the store when you see the total $$$$ flying out the window. We put in a big order yesterday and will do most of the rest this weekend when we are at the convention in Indy.It's a meeting of all the yarn and notions wholesalers. I looked at the map of the convention center and it will be like going into Home Depot but it all turned into yarn. Imagine!! We certainly will get plenty of walking! I recharged my fitibit so that I can keep track. Yikes!

I hope each of you has a wonderful day today even though it appears it's going to be rainy. We need the moisture in the ground. I always try to be positive about rainy days because my friends in California are really suffering from the drought. One of the things I learned from the Serenity Prayer is to stop trying to control the weather (like obsessing about it will change it--NOT!!)

Hello everyone

I just got home from work....a forever long day at work. 

I am now sitting back and relaxing and eating my crockpot chicken dinner.  I am bored at work because I have nothing to do till I get the green light to start working in the system...who knows when that will be!!!!  So each is sooo long.

I am doing OK today....it's funny.  I can do good one day and then be down in the dumps the next.  It's like a roller coaster.  A friend of mine at work said she read that it takes 2 weeks for every month you're with someone to get over them....really???  That seems excessive....so I will take 6 months to get over a 1 year relationship!!!  I plan on taking things step by step and seeing where I am a month from now and reevaluate then.

Connie- your shop sounds so wonderful!!!!  I am so excited for you.  

Lisa-  Rainy days don't get me down...but they wreak havoc on my sinuses.  My nose and ears have been clogged all day!!!!

Well Have a good evening all!!!! 

Hi folks,

we think the grand opening will be July 11-12 and it's called Knit One Purl Two at 6409 Riverside. It's directly across from the Beef a Roo which has a huge sign. There's an exit off 39/90 at Riverside. Easy to give directions!

Yesterday we went to two antique stores and bought a few things for the store. Kay bought a baby doll as a store model and already knit a hat for it

we are going to Madison today to knit. 

Stay dry!

Connie

Well, what you "walked" into works. Happy that you were in the right place and the right tme.
