But don't fear, Mamas! I'm not going anywhere.
This growing mountain in my entryway is a happy pile, composed of the accumulated pots, plates and printers that will be heading to Fire Island come springtime. Thank you again Mama N for giving us some major goodies for our "island home."
Despite some major doubts that came to a head this week, we are plowing forth with our extravagant (and exciting!) second home, which is due to close in April. Did we buy at the top of the market? Yes. Did we make less moolah than expected at bonus-time? Yessir. Do we care? Well yeah, we do, but not enough to stomp on the dream and lose the down payment. So America, follow our lead! Buy, buy!
Anyway, those boxes got me to thinking about our fellow Mamas who have been packing up for good. Add to that list our own Mama G, who solemnly informed a few of us on Thursday that we should "start buying cupcakes." It took us all a second to realize that she meant we would have to bidding yet another friend adieu at next week's playgroup. Ladies, these departures are thickening our waists and dampening our spirits. Enough! Down with boxes!
But I want to leave this on a happy note. So check out the pretty yarn trio here (with a curious gentleman's hand saying hello as well). Mama H mentioned our fun outing to The Point in her post. She was instrumental in selecting these colors for my second knitting project, a scarf. (Yawn all you want, Mama N, but it takes baby steps to get to things with sleeves and such!) I still haven't cast on the 250 stitches recommended by the store owner, but with yummy yarn like this, I'm motivated to make it happen.
Happy weekends to you all.
