Now I am trying to budget my money, and I am still working on it. I am improving though.

I was sad to leave our Astro Van 7 passenger seat, boo hoo, in the US. So that means that I have to walk, walk, walk. I went down 3 sizes and lost 30 pounds. Just by walking and still eating right. That’s what I was doing but I needed to exercise. Eating right and still losing!

I tell ya, relocating is the best. I had bags and bags of stuff and I GAVE IT ALL AWAY TO THE NEEDY. It was unbelievable. Shoes, clothes, furniture! We took 15 suitcases and that was it. (But I did have to pack up some books and some things it my moms basement, sorry) But I managed to get rid of alot of stuff. That was fun.

Moving to Egypt made it easier for us to move into a bigger apartment. It’s so wonderful and roomy. This little pic is just half of my living room. Need to a sofa!

I moved to Egypt with my family. I love it here! This is just a pic from the city. We live in the outskirts of Cairo.

I learned how to make my own needles from a children’s book. I bought the supplies in a local paint store and ordered wooden dowels online in bulk. Once I started making them I couldn’t stop. I have made for my Aunts in Puerto Rico and for friends. I even taught my children and they made their own. So worth it!

I already know how to make my own knitting needles. I have everything that I need. Just need to do it. I hope to make one soon, if I can find the time! I don’t have a yard with trees, but what kind of trees make nice hooks? Anyone?
