the solution to my problem of UFOs is...

....to pick a bigger project. Or so it seems. The Map-ghan is taking up all of my time and energy. I'm seriously going to have to stash it if I'm going to get anything else done. I'm working on that on football days and the Leaf Tee (trial version with acrylic before making Michelle's final version with Debbie Bliss Cathay) on non-football days, but I find the itch for the map-ghan on every day. I started Russia yesterday, and am almost done with North America! I'm about 80 rows shy of finishing one panel...in five weeks. Crap. I'm seriuosly going to have to bust out some maniacal knitting with this thing if I'm going to finish it by Christmas.

On to other topics besides knitting...the other thing that consumes my hours...the great House Hunt of '08. I'm working with two girls at work now to get some progress on this since the family friend clearly has other priorities beyond helping us. Sue said to go ahead and do it without the friend, and she was the one that suggested her, so off I go!

I've found of couple of properties with Potential (capital P). Several are fixers, but that could be all we can afford for now. Still no clue on that. Will find out from Laura tomorrow hopefully.

I'm addicted to looking for houses, and I doubt rehab exists for my obsessive watching of the market. Oh well. Everyone's gotta have a hobby, and this just makes me a little bit more well-rounded beyond just knitting! (GASP...life beyond knitting?!?)
