Long time no see!

I've been a bad bad bad blogger. So much has happened in this past year I don't even know where to begin. I've gotten divorced, left my job, gone back to school, and moved two hours away from all the people I love. It's been a rough road but its on its way to smoothing out and being way less crazy 😄
So now I'm living in Houlton, Maine, it's a quaint little town on the border of Canada. Unfortunately for this girl used to Memphis, New Jersey, and larger towns its been a rough culture shock. The girls for the most part love it up here, unless they want a mall, which there isn't one. This has lead my 11 year old to exclaim "what is this, a town for old people?" Yeah, welcome to small town life. We have three grocery stores and a wal-mart. That's about it. Oh and being single in a small town where you don't know anyone. Not fun. I held a funeral for my social life when I moved.
Projects have pretty much been small and not often. A major is English is a lot of reading and writing. Finals week this week. Papers on critical theory, Great Expectations, and other tests. My brain hurts. I have done some small projects of necessity. Hats, mittens, various other winter items. Right now in my purse I have
Dancing Phalanges!. These are my Bones inspired fingerless mits. I <3 every time I see an episode where Bones does dancing phalanges. I'm doing these in KnitPicks Stroll sport bittersweet heather and marina. So pretty!
