organization continues . . .

I cleaned my closet this morning. What has come over me, seriously. It’s like someone far more neat and clean than I has taken over my body.

I also took a walk, and went to Sophie’s Yarns. They’re moving in February to a space on Fabric Row, which excites me greatly, as I live off of Fabric Row.

But JS decided we needed to resurrect it, and I’m quite glad that she finally pushed us to do so. Snorko and I went to the gym at 5:30, then, sweaty and hungry, we headed on over to JS’s place for pizza and knitting. The pictures are bad, because I was too lazy to get up and try to take nice ones . . . bear with me.
