Knitting Addiction

So I haven't posted much of anything since... well, I'd prefer not to think about it. I'm avoiding homework by writing this as it is.
Since visiting my soon to be sister-in-law in MI, I've become a knitting addict. An aficianada, if you will. I use knitting to relax, make myself soft and warm happy everything, and it has also become my go-to for presents. Christmas, here I come!
At the moment I have only three WIP's, because I've been forcing myself to balance knitting with the huge amount of schoolwork I have and all. I'd love to post pics but that would involve clearing out other pics off of my camera... sometime in the future...
I have, however, developed a stash that is out of this world crazy for a girl who's only been knitting for what, three months now? I think pictures of that would be even more entertaining.
The best part about knitting is that my roomie is a long-time crocheter and so we get to bond (even though she's practically my sister already) over our projects. The best times are sitting together curled up on the couch, each with a ball of yarn and our projects. Ah, yarn. Bringing people together since... well, quite some time, I would think.
Anywho, I've decided that when I finish school I want to sit at home all day and keep house and knit. Screw a career. Knitting is much more satisfying. But that may be the lazy way out. :-) Who knows... that may be exactly what I end up doing!
Speaking of the next few years... I need to get hopping on the rest of the wedding plans. Do you have any idea how stressful it is to balance 18 credits, a fiancee, a dog, a job, and knitting? Hmmm... neither did I.
That's right, I never did write about that either.... Nate and I got a puppy! He's from the humane society and we both love him to death. I suppose I will have to post pics of him too. His name is Cadence and he is such a rambunctious sweetheart. The pound said he was three months and a hound mix but it turns out he was two months and more of a boxer/pit mix. We love him anywho... he's this pretty brindle and he has the most expressive ears! Sorry, he's my baby. I could talk about him for hours. I have to figure out what to knit him that will still fit him when he's full grown. He's only about four months now and 25 lbs and according to the vet he's going to get much much bigger.
That will be interesting indeed... cuz I'm a little person. I'm going to go do homework now.
