I have discovered a new love..... Almond Joy Pieces! They are way too expensive, but satisfy me greatly. They combine my love for chocolate and coconut with almonds in every bite! Unfortunately everyone else in the household loves them too.

the new job

So, Tim's new job didn't pan out. They had unreal expectations, very little pay, and no benefits whatsoever. Now.. the weird but good news: Tim got a job with me! That's right, at Cleo's! We're going to tag team and potentially make a lot of money (crosses fingers). Business cards will have both of our info on them, and we will recommend each other if the other isn't going to be there. We'll just see how all this goes, but I'm hoping it works well.
In the mean time, I've started my ETSY! For those of you who don't know what etsy is, it's kind of like ebay but for crafty people. You make handmade items and sell them. I've only posted one item, but when I have time, I have plenty to post. Right now, I'm making "skurfs." They are otherwise known as infinity scarves. They are just round scarves that can be doubled around your neck. And for those of you who have received scarves from me in the past, yes they are made from the same yarn. I've even found another type of yarn that is just as soft and easy to work with. Please check them out and give me some feedback as to colors you'd like to see etc...

Tim got a job! yay!!! He's on day 3 of his new job at The Design Group, and seems to be fairing well. I'm happy! We now BOTH have big people hours and are really tired when we get home. The overall plan is to still stay at mom's for another couple of months to save up some money and pay off a couple of things. After that (sometime in April) we plan on either getting an apartment, or BUYING a house, now that we officially qualify for the first time home buyers ($8,000 tax credit...) and everything! Thing are starting to look up for us and I'm excited to see what happens next in the Christy chapter of life.
