More $$ !!A little background:J, one of my bestest friends, has worked at this local store all through college, and for the last few years since. Cute store- mostly clothes and housewares... very quant, and too pricey for my tastes. ANYWAY. J is leaving for grad school, and mentioned that her boss might be strapped for people- long story short, I'll start working weekends there in August. I'm not sure how much it'll pay, but it's a nice, casual atmosphere, no pressure, with lots of people-interaction. I'm not sure how much I'll want to work once everything starts up in the fall, but I figure I can do at least 1 day a week, and that will definitely help out with the law school fund. Plus, I can continue to work a few days a week through the first year of law school, when I'll be too busy to work a more demanding part time job. So yeah! ;) The only thing I'll have to watch out for at this store is the shoes- employees can order shoes for wholesale prices, and I'll have to be careful. Thanks to my being the same size as J, I already have 5 pairs of shoes I got at a great discount- and I'm already eyeing a pair of really cute sandals I think I'll have to order once I've worked there a few weeks. :) Still plugging away at the chickami- I've noticed that in bright sunlight, there are some color variations in the yarn- it's mostly a creamy color, but some sections are more white, and some a little more yellow. I think after I finish it I'll give it a nice long soak in some detergent-filled water to see if the color won't even out... when I "spot cleaned" part of the swatch, it brightened up quite a bit compared to the other half, so I think that'll work. :) The yarn is DEFINITELY not wool, so I could probably even use a little bleach if necessary! Of course, in celebration of just getting another job with some extra spending money coming in, I just bid on some more chickami yarn on ebay- a light brown with some shine to it. I think it'll look really nice- and hey, for $13 including shipping (provided I win, of course), I think it's just what the doctor ordered. After all, it's cheaper than going out to dinner to celebrate! (see M. see M rationalize. rationalize, M, rationalize!)
