Will and I spent the morning watching How I Met Your Mother on DVD. Yes, yes, we are just a few years late to the party on this one. Also? I think Will is developing a bro-crush on Jason Segal. He won’t admit to it of course, but I’m pretty sure that the crush is there.
I have been battling sugar ants in my kitchen since we got back from Texas. Okay, actually, they made a brief appearance a couple of weeks before we left but I cleaned the crap out of my kitchen and they disappeared. In the last couple of weeks they’ve come back. The insurgence is small–only a few ants at a time and in spite of my best efforts (including dousing my entire kitchen in vinegar yesterday afternoon) they keep coming back. Suggestions?
I spent last evening crocheting. And this morning I practiced my knitting. The more I crochet and knit the more I want to do it. It’s so much fun to make stuff and to have something to do with my hands while Will and I are watching television. I figure I’m not too far away from buying my first hot glue gun and becoming a regular at JoAnn’s fabrics. I never would have thought that I’d turn into a crafts fan but…here I am!
I took a few quizzes on Facebook today, to kill some time, and according to Facebook I have the open sexuality of Angelina Jolie (yeah I laughed pretty hard too) but the movie that best illustrates my life is Dumb and Dumber. Go figure.
It always takes a couple of weeks to figure out a new routine when Will starts a new semester at school. I’m thinking that, for the next few months anyway, my best work days are going to be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday when Will is out of the house for most of the day. Whenever he and I are home at the same time…neither of us can get anything done. Somehow we end up sitting on the couch and accomplishing exactly nothing. I’m not sure exactly how that happens, but it does!
In addition to possibly opening an Etsy shop, I’ve started thinking about whether or not I want to put ads back on this blog and possibly do some paid posting. I don’t plan on ever going back to the level of paid posting that I used to do, but seeing as how it could bring in some extra income…I think it is worth exploring. I don’t want to become a total ad whore, so I’m going to do quite a bit of research before I decide which ad companies and types of paid postings I will do. There are quite a few bloggers that I admire that have managed to integrate advertising and sponsorhips without sacrificing the integrity pf their sites. And, of course, I will always tell you guys when a post I’ve done has been sponsored.
I had originally hoped that Will and I would get out of the house this weekend. The weather is supposed to be pretty nice. Now that we have three seasons of How I Met Your Mother on DVD I do not actually see us leaving the house. But that’s okay, that means that there is more time to play with yarn!

I really wish I had time to knit right now. If I start – I just feel guilty for not doing school work. How unfortunate.

Andi: Thanks!
Britt: I know how you feel–I feel a tiny bit guilty for not having gotten some extra work done but crocheting is just so much more soothing than working!
