being...naughty (fans of Courage the Cowardly Dog might get that...)

I guess I'm somewhat stressed because my credit card is smokin'*. I've been ordering stuff off the internet again. First, it was some books from Powell's, my favoritest bookstore in the world (I am going to make a pilgrimage to Portland someday just to see the store) and from Daedalus books (well, they had a couple mystery novels I wanted, cheap, and they had Amos and Boris by William Steig, which I needed to have a copy of again after losing my copy somewhere between the ages of 7 and 14.). I've also ordered Decade and Harvest by Mission Falls from Yarn Forward (I didn't get the books for Christmas and I really want them. And now, it's yarn time. I have an order sitting on my coffeetable at home (D'oh, forgot to put it in the mail this morning) for some Lorna's Laces** from a new vendor called ThreadBear, and this morning ordered a mess of stuff from Carodan Farm. (Well, one of those balls of Crocodile will be socks for my mom, so it's not entirely selfish...)

Yes, I'm doing my part to help the economy.

*I mean, spending a lot of money online is a symptom of stress, not necessarily a cause (but it will be if I don't curb it now)

**and did you hear? Lorna Miser sold Lorna's Laces. Here's hoping that the changeover is more seamless and less disappointing than the recent Patternworks sale.
