There are always new things but I finally “home” and at my place.  Of course that meant that something horrible or terrifying was in the works. Today I met my new coworker and his first impression wasn’t the best. He said 2 things that really sounded really wrong and sexist to my ear and I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. It’s his first day : he’s allowed to be stressed and stupid and open his mouth without thinking. 

Also related to the new job is the upcoming move to my own place. I’m going to be roomate with Lorien and it’s really exciting and daunting to think that this summer I will leave the nest. If I chose to, I can not clean the dishes until there is no plates left, or wait until the dust has formed rock formations before cleaning or eat ice cream for supper for a week! (Lorien, I won’t. I’m just saing I *could* if I wanted to)

Apart from that I guess the most ridiculous thing that happened is that I went yarn shopping saturday afternoon and my parents had bets about how much I’d buy  (Mom said 5 balls, dad said 50$) and both failed miserably (9 balls, 80$). I’m not sure if that’s good or bad. Although technically, according to my new budget, everything but one ball fell into “gifts” since I will use those to make gifts. AH!
