Slacker McSlackerstein

I've recently decided that I'm a terrible blogger. It's true. Don't believe me? Look at when my last post was written. July 11th. Believe me now? Fab. Let's move on.

I recently acquired a new job--I'm a barista at a local Starbucks. :) And I really like it. Don't worry--I am still heading off to Korea. I am waiting on my first pay check so I can get this background check done. Finally. Sigh. I know I could just as easy ask my mom for the money but she has already shelled out so much $$ to help me that I almost feel that I should just wait until the 27th. It's only another week.

So what else have I been up to, you ask? Tons. Well...maybe not tons, but ya know, a lot. I've been doing some reading, knitting, memory making, and the like. I went to Florida for a month to hang out with friends and family--cried my eyes out when I had to leave my dad's house. He told me he was proud of me and that I had exceeded his expectations--which is not to say that he had low expectations of me..you know what I mean. He never got verbal confirmation from his father so it was important to me that he gave it to me.

It's been one helluva hot summer thus far...I'm waiting for Autumn to come around...like now. I generally find something good about every season, but I. Love. Autumn.

Sweaters. Spices. Pumpkins. Change. Leaves. Tea. Sigh. I. Love. Autumn.

My step-sister, Becky, is having another boy in November! I know the first name is Dylan but I'm unsure of the middle. Anywho, I'm knitting her a baby blanket for him--it's my first one ever and I'm pretty excited about it. :) Last week began this new tradition with local yarn shops in the Chicago area called a Yarn Crawl. Jess and I went around to 5 different yarn shops and got a chance to see what they have to offer. Some were fabulous, others, well, not so much. I told Jess that we should open up our own yarn shop with a book store and an espresso bar. And we'd have a resident cat. LOL. Girls are silly sometimes.
