I didn’t get much knitting done yesterday. I was pouty, and I’m not sure why. I didn’t get much of anything done other than meals and weightlifting. The weights felt good, and brought me up out of my grumpiness temporarily, but it didn’t last. Monday is laundry day, and that was neglected as well. I’m sad to say that today my poor, sweet husband has no socks.
Nate is looking for a better job. His current employers are agents of the devil, (I have proof), and he’s trying to get out. Unfortunately, Seattle is currently a depressed market for designers, even handsome, charming, and incredibly talented designers :-), so he has expanded his job search across the country. There are a lot of design jobs in New York it would seem, and one of them contacted him yesterday. It’s all preliminary stuff right now, so we don’t know much about the job, but it still makes one think of what it would be like to move the home, kids, dog and fish all the way to NYC. I shudder, to be quite honest. I love Seattle. I love the people that are a part of my everyday life. I love living close to an abundance of my husband’s family. I love my little house. And for those of you who have been reading awhile, you all know how I feel about Dennis & Julie, and Gayle. Who knows what will happen? I just hope something good happens very soon. Regardless of whether I’m in Seattle, New York, San Francisco, or Jamaica, I can still blog!
To add some color to today’s post, I’ve snapped some photos of another passion of mine. Fish. My fish. I really love my fish. They are beautiful. Meet Lucias, Jane, and Alexander. (In that order). They are between 8 and 9 inches long right now.
Nothing exciting this morning, but that’s what I’ve got. Here’s hoping I have a better day today, am wildly productive, and earn myself some glorious “kick back and knit” time. Have a great day!

I would say lifting weights on a day when you just feel like laying on the couch (and eating, or maybe that’s just me) deserves some applause. If I can only get one thing done in a day, taking care of myself has to be on the top of the list.
I say great job!!

If my husband decided it was necessary to move, I’d say “Go for it!”, but he’d insist that I come along………………
Your fish are well taken care of, I can see!! The tank is superduper clean!! Exercise DOES make you feel better! Last night, after an hour of tennis, I’d almost forgotten to be mad at my husband, haha! Actually, the thought of moving far away would give me two feelings…excitement and nervousness!! You’ll probably feel better when your situation is more defined. I have a question…did you use pony beads on your Best Friends Dolls, and if you did , what size?? I still have not completed a doll, only started….but I bought a small bag of 9mm black beads. Then my cousin got her back issue, and she thinks it is cream color beads. So, I went out and bought another bag, but these are 7mm ones. I wish the directions actually gave a color and size to make it clear!! Since I havebn’t gotten any further than the unstuffed torso, it’s hard to figure out exactly what is needed. I hope your day is better today! Jenny

Hey, you can always plan on moving temporarily for a few years to see if things work out and if not, you can leave yourself some options for moving back to Seattle. i.e. renting your house out if you own it instead of selling etc..
