New knitting needles and a (sort of) new hobby

Well, I really am still knitting.  Even though I have nothing to show for it.  Motherhood doesn't stop you from doing the things you love, it just takes a little longer!

I got some new needles, for socks, and I adore them.  I got the Addi Turbo 8 inch circulars!!!  They are so tiny, and I love them, but I think you either love them or hate them.  I can go really quick on these things, and even the Cookie A. socks I love doing are going faster!

So, I have found something else to occupy my thoughts and mind.  Couponing.  (You know, so I can buy more yarn?)

I have really gotten into it, and doing quite well with it.  I've not bought body wash or toothpaste, but gotten it all free after coupons, and have enough stockpiled for another month!  Food is harder to get free - not as many great coupons, but still you can cut the bill a lot lower.  If any of you are interested, I might do a blog post with some starter tips.

Oh, and I got my laptop back.  If any of you noticed me missing, my laptop died and was getting repaired.  I have another OLD laptop, but it's hard to use, heavy, and doesn't have any of my bookmarks.  Soooo... yay, my laptop is back!
