Patience waits for no man.

 These last few weeks have been teaching me lessons in patience. Letting things rumble and roll at their own pace can be terribly frustrating.

~I have been moving to a new place (which is why I haven't posted in a while)- a house with two of my favorite ladies! And the new place has a utility sink....STOKED.
However, each box takes forever to pack, migrate, and unpack.. It has now been several months since I started; the back of my car is still teeming with hula hoops, a blender, towels, and massive, poorly packed boxes of random junk.

And my frankieBeast disappeared at 3o'clock in the morning as I was moving - at my old place, of coourrse {I thought that if every night I took food out to the old apartment and sat around shaking it, maybe she'd come back to me...to no avail. I do hope she's not been taken hostage by some rogue hooligan raccoons}. ........It's been a month. I think the FrankaBeez has found another home. :{{{ I hope she's safe and warm.

Ah....memory....all alone in the moonlight. CATS. sigh.

~Knitting always takes longer than I think it will and writing a pattern - as this is my first pattern, i have no idea really what I'm doing - I've gotta keep ripping stitches out and starting over.


~Also just finished a simple button up women's "boyfriend" shirt with wild and crazy (by which i mean - TOOK FOREVER and two days) embroidery - class project. It was one of the shirts chosen to be featured in my school's advisory board showcase (along with my illustration portfolio and my cotton research)!

At any rate, here's some Frank Ocean. 

 

ooooo Hey Hi there SexySexy.

Also, we went to the Highland Games this summer. Killer.

The coolest man on earth says hello.

Oh! Yeah, and my half marathon is 3 weeks away. My training schedule has lost all semblance of consistency since school started. I was up to 9 miles last weekend but a lovely little sicky bug attacked me this week. I've been inundating my system with echinacea, vitamin C, and Honey Nut Cheerios (you know, for my cholesterol). Crossing my fingers that I can get back at it this weekend!

Have a fab week! :}
