The Harry Potter yarns are here, can you see the happy children? They are very excited! Jennifer from
Wool Girl just emailed me to let me know and the kids are so happy. I ordered our tickets for HP and the Order of the Phoenix today. Ordered them online and printed them out myself. Isn't technology grand? We are going Sunday morning. I never really got into the movies, just the books, but the kids are excited.
It has been hellishly hot here. But today is a little overcast and not quite as hot so everyone has been outside playing in the sprinklers and just having a ball. Including my husband's ridiculous basset hound, Nero. It is his solemn duty to attack any and all working sprinklers.
My latest CO, a chemo hat in
Knit Pick's Ambrosia (cashmere and alpaca, softest yarn ever made) for a sick friend. And my old dog, Hodges, the cairn terrier. he is almost 12 and retired. Poor baby. My husband is still thinking on the Boeing job. They salary is smaller than we hoped, but still very very respectable and more than he makes now. And the benefits are amazing. They pay for us to move, live in a hotel for 30 days, and the closing costs on a house. How awesome is that? But, I told him to think on it through the weekend. Really hard! And if he decided no, then something else would come along. But, I would love to go to Alabama. And live near a yarn store and take classes and go to a Knit night or a Stitch and Bitch. Jeez, just to have a damn friend would be great!

Ordered my HP from woolGirl today too. Kids saw the movie on Wed and thought it was the best yet, really close to the book. As for alabama,not promoting either way, even though the salary is lower, so will your cost of living and buying a house will be cheaper too. Do some online looking through realtor.com and the like gives you a feel for what you are looking for and if and when you do decide which way, get recommendations for areas to live from other employees or people who live there...
I'm looking forward to the HP movie, but like you, I enjoy the books much much more. Then again, I've always been a bookworm and not much of a movie person.
The job offer sounds great. It's cool that you told your husband to take some time and think it over. I'd be telling my hubby "say yes, say yes, say yes" before he had a chance to mull it over!
jenc1871 at gmail dot com. I picked up 1 Gryffindor and 2 sets of Ravenclaw for my older kids. I already had some Hufflepuff and slytherin from a previous order, will probably pick up more Hufflepuff for myself though.
