to announce to you that the girl and feline behind Sea Anemone Knits will be returning to their island to be by the sea Gulf of Mexico once more.

I officially got word on Friday and turned in my notice this morning. So, as of right now, I will be moving on Sep. 1, 2007.

I have not stopped grinning practically all weekend long. I am so excited.

ETA: Anyone who spent any amount of time with me will know that I abhorred my job. So after a week’s vacation, I went and quit this morning. I’ve never felt better than being asked for my key and being escorted off the premises. I grinned like a damned idiot the WHOLE time. The reason behind my being able to be so frigging happy? I was offered a job on Friday and I gladly accepted knowing that I would be working with 4 people, one of whom is a dear friend, and enduring much less stress and being closer to family.

In other news, I’ve been nominated as a

Rockin' Girl Blogger!

by my fellow Night Owl, Jen of Piddleloop and fellow Houstonian and knit buddy, Everwhelming Liz! Yay! Thanks gals! I’m quite flattered!

Ok, so, background: These awards were started by Roberta Ferguson (Yay Roberta!), and as a RGB. I am supposed to 1) give her credit, 2) put up the badge and 3) add 5 other rockin’ girl bloggers to the list.

Ok, so this type of thing is hard because I always feel like I’m naming favorites and I sure don’t want to hurt any feelings.

1) I know she nominated me, but I’m passing one back off on Jen from Piddleloop. She rocks because she lets me email her at strange hours of the night when I can’t sleep. Ten to one, she’s awake too and we’ve had some awesome talks. Plus, she is a rectangle sewing goddess. Gotta respect the rectangles. ;)

2) One Plum Texan. She rocks because she’s always ready with a ear or a snarky comment to make me laugh! Also watching her knit her first lace is awesome!

3) An International Crime Fighter Not too many people can pull off being an International Crime Fighter, but Jet can! An all around good person to have rooting for you! (But we still kind of want you to come back to Texas. Summer and hell miss you.)

4) Will Travel for Yarn Because she really does travel for yarn! Comes back with fun stories of the places she’s been and things she’s seen. I’m totally jealous! I wish I had it in me to travel like she does. Also in that category of good to have rooting for you (Well, all of the gals I’ve named are in that category, but I digress)

5) YOU!! Whoever you are, I promise, you’re rockin’ whether or not you have a blog. And I’m glad you’re here! :)

I also have winners! I absolutely loved reading some of the reasons why I remember matrices. The real reason I remember them is that they were beaten into my head for two days before my final exam and frankly, when I finally had that lightbulb go off, it was so disgustingly obvious how to work them that for the time being, here they are!

1) Because I laughed a lot when I read her answer, and because, well, it is my alien after all! So, Everwhelming Liz! Come on down!

2) And, Plum Texan, my Mom acted as my random number generator and you win!

Yay!
