Another Book Review

I have another book review, but it's a non-knitting book. I received Shopaholic and Baby in the mail on Tuesday, and by Wednesday afternoon, I was finished. I love the main character in the Shopaholic books, and this was no exception. This book kept me guessing as to what would happen next, and I loved it. I thought it ended rather abruptly though, but maybe that's just me. If you like chic lit, this is for you. But start from the beginning with Confessions of a Shopaholic.

The
Cozy is coming along slowly but surely. I really love this pattern. I made a small mistake that I really think will only be noticeable to me. Sometimes I have to look for it, so I figure that's a good sign.

Now that it's March 1st, I'm guessing there will be new
Knitty patterns up soon, as well as Magknits. I hope something inspires me for spring!

And to continue on the "100 Things about me" wagon..here goes:
21. I have an addiction to office supplies.
22. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not midly OCD.
23. I'm thrilled that the show Jericho is airing new episodes.
24. I'm slightly devastated that the show Reba was cancelled.
25. I've lived in the same town my whole life.
26. My great grandparents, grandparents, and parents all graduated from the same school as I graduated.
27. I think I might should have been a lawyer.
28. I have an A-1 addicition. I can eat it on anything, even crackers.
29. I don't eat meat that has bones. Only boneless meats for me.
30. I always have a dirty car.
31. My most favorite meal is spagetti with no meatballs.
32. I'm not a huge fan of steak.
33. I showed cows in 4-H while in high school.
34. I'm not a big fan of horses.
35. I had a pet pig named Noelle whose mommy died while she was a few days old.
36. My first job was at a movie store.
37. The boss from my first job is now a client of mine for environmental work.
38. I wish I lived in a colder climate so that I could knit more sweaters.
39. I finally caught up with Ready, Set, Knit yesterday. LOVE IT!
40. I'm also a fan of Stash and Burn.

I've been in the Parrot Stitch, but only once. She has advertised stitch meetings, but I can't ever go.
My sister dated a guy from there when she was in college...I know right where you are!

PS I am a tad on the OCD side myself...it makes me a better person

Oh how I wished I could finish the one book I have been reading since Christmas. It's so exciting going to the book store to pick out a new novel to read. I just can't find the time to finish it. Love Cozy so much and I can't tell you how much I am waiting to see this wrapped around you. I think we all have OCD:) Love A-1 too. Love the Rainy Day socks from MagKnits!!

Stash & Burn is what's getting me through having 2 weeks between L&V episodes!

Knit Diva said...

I have quite a few books in the side lines that I would love to read. I haven't had much time to pick them up.

The NEW KNITTY is up if you haven't looked at it yet... Ü

I started on Cozy a while back but the yarn I was trying to use was just not working with the pattern! I still love the pattern and have plans to make it soon.

Glad you're enjoying it! I'd love to see some pictures of how it's coming along.
