It's raining again......






In my world that is. I was down in my still unfinished basement (ran out of money) putting stuff away and I noticed this funny looking blob.


Interesting huh? Forget the stains on the floor for a minute, the last peeps were pigs and just look at the loveliness of this wonderful little blob....I think I'll call him Fred. Then I noticed that Fred has some friends.......






So at this point in time, I come back upstairs to google mushrooms growing in my basement. After reading so much information and basically crying my eyes out, I go and get the De-humidifyer only to be surprised by some more friends...Yup you guessed it. The unfinished washroom has a bunch of Fred's cousins or friends or whomever they are and they're having a party.
Those little funky blobs all along the wall are his buddies. Unwelcome guests seem to be a theme in this house. Ants, huge hairy spiders, racoons, squirrels.......you name it they've invaded. I think we have a skunk living here somewhere too cause I can catch his scent at night...

Can someone please rescue me from the hell my life has become???

Cinder And now for something completely Different! CRAFTS!  What is that you say?  Crafts on Carol's Crafty Corner? MADNESS! I know.  But I've been knitting up a storm to keep myself sane and my children alive (kidding, mostly) Here are some of my most recent items. My Kyna Shawl Zombie Vixen Fingerless gloves Hell or Highwater Cowl Star Crossed Slouchy Beret Dionne Slouchy Hat Cap'n Crunch I'm super proud of myself.  I've made a couple pairs of socks too.  One for a friend and one for me.  The Cap'n Crunch went to a friend out in BC so I don't actually have a picture of the Finished project.  I'll survive.  It looks awesome on her. I'm making myself another pair of fingerless gloves because the oldest has stolen the zombies.  I knew it would happen.  She kept coming in and taking them from me.  I'm enjoying the process of zoning out and doing nothing with my brain.  I need that dea...

Day Five and counting....

Well I've done four complete training shifts...and I still love it!!!! I've settled myself into the role as wiper and swiper...lol!!! I also rock the brewed coffee stand like nobody else! I did a couple Cap's and Latte's yesterday. I need to get over my fear of the milk foaming out over the lip and scalding me. I've been told more than once that it's not that hot and would probably only tan me sooooooo..........weeeeeeeeeeee!!! I've decided that I was honestly made for this job. Oh yah, I'm not a Starbucks Employee.....I'm a PARTNER! How cool is that? We are all considered partners cause you have the option to have "Bean Stock" purchases taken from your pay every week. LOVE IT! I totally laughed out loud when I heard Bean Stock. I love my work and have a renewed love for my kids. I love them all to death, but being away from them for a few hours every day, well, lets just say that when I come home I'm happy to be "just...

Great News!!

Finally!!!! I start work on Monday the 25th of August. Yup, me, working again, OUTSIDE the house and getting paid for it! Starbucks finally realized that I'm the missing link in their chain and hired me! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Now if you know me at all you know I'm a coffee freak and a Starbucks hound so it's like the mothership calling me home.... I've also been moving stuff down into the basement even though it's still very wet down there most of the time. At this point, I can't keep going on with things the way they are so poopoo to the mushrooms and the lake that forms in the front room when it rains (which is practically every dang day) I've been down there daily doing laundry and have managed to get into my space and play with my stuff. Nothing that I'm willing to share, but it is nice to get to put ink to rubber then to paper again. Thanks for crossing fingers, eyes, toes or whatever it was that was crossed to make at least one of my hope...
