it's been a while since i've blogged, i know. in my defense, i've had a lot going on!

packing and moving: day 3
packing and moving

if you've been following me on flickr then you know that we made our move to our new apartment this week. it's really been the week from hell, to be sure. living out of boxes, barely eating, and cranky toddlers do not a happy mommy make.

365.060 (not enough beer in the world)

i tried to keep my sanity with beer but it didn't always work. the good news is two-fold here.

#1. popknits is live! in case you didn't already know. went live on the 1st and despite a small hiccup the first day when all the rabid knitters brought down the site, the launch went really well. i blame time warner for many of my headaches that day. the cable modem went down repeatedly during the 3+ hours that i needed it and i thought that i would have an anxiety attack but i made it through.

#2. we're in our new place and i like it a lot. it's far out in brooklyn which definitely makes it harder to see my friends, but the it's big! three bedrooms, eat-in-kitchen! wow. and yeah, i did mention that we're saving a lot of cash each month on rent.

uh oh, my knitting is in that room somewhere!

this third bedroom is what we refer to as the "popknits home office". it's going to take a while to unpack all those boxes and actually use the room but i think that i'll be in there by the end of october.

speaking of which, i'm going to rhinebeck for sure! i'll be there on saturday with peanut and my mom. i hope to have some popknits magnets or bookmarks (not sure which yet) to hand out. hope to see you there!

congrats on surviving a very challenging week. someday i will fly out specifically to go to rhinebeck, that way i can meet all my east coast blogging friends and finally get some truly spectacular fiber. i asked tim once and he was game to go east if we can find some of our old friends. maybe next year.

i am going to post a bit most about the cleanse...but i was surprised by the energy i do have. i actually feel a bit better than when i am not 'cleansing' on the energy front. but on the beer front, well, i am just jealous.

You did great surviving a week from hell - transition is never easy, but the results are frequently worth it, as I'm very sure it will be for you guys.

I'm glad to hear that the week from hell is over. I'm going to Rhinebeck too -- I'd love to meet up! It's nice that your mom will come. Will Peanut hang out with her if she gets too stranger overwhelmed?

Funny, you don't appear to be any further away than you used to be.
