Maybe you should try applying at your vet to work as a receptionist…you get discounts on vet bills and most vets pay pretty good
Great idea, Courtney!
Meghan, thanks for another great show! I have very fond lilac memories also. I hope you have fun Sunday – can’t wait to hear all about it!
Meghan–tag, you’re it! Playing a little game on my blog…take a peek. I hope you’ll play.
Hi Meghan,
I wanted to let you know that I have really enjoyed your podcasts, and your enthusiasm for knitting and spinning. I am a new spinner, so the tips really help.I’ll try and send you pictures of my new yarn.
You spoke about lilac, it is one of my favorite fragrances as well. The company I work with in my business has lilac fragrance, which is used in making hand poured soy candles. The smell is like fresh picked flowers. And in using soy there are no toxic fumes to mask the fragrance. If you want a job where you can stay home, There are opportunitis available in my company for those who like to make candles and have parties to teach others if you want. Or sell at craft fairs. Soy is much easier than parafin with no messy clean up and it wont hurt Owen if he wants to help.
I also wanted to let you know to keep up the good work with Owen, I have a friend who is deaf. He got meningitis when he was two and caused his hearing loss. With the aid of his mother, family and friends, he turned out great and is now a teacher for the deaf. Keep up the good work, the rewards will be great.

I LOVE your beehive spinning yarn. I really need to find a good spindle and good roving to get started appropriately.
