Is DMC thread as cheap in Spain as it is here?

I know that it's been a while since I've written and I apologize, but let's not linger over that.  This question is the thought that made me grab my computer with blogging in mind.  You see, I've been pretty wrapped up in my life lately and even though stuff has been going on with Spain, I haven't really made the time to write about it.  I say that I haven't made time because I know that there is always plenty of time, and no time is just an excuse.  (Unless you were at Cracker Barrel Restaurant this beautiful Sunday morning, and in that case, you're quite right, there was NO time for anything!)
So this is what's been going on:  I've been doing a lot of working at the old Crack Bar (I think I'm funny), a lot of hanging out with my amazing boyfriend Andres, and packing, actually.  And floating.  A LOT of floating, cause it's my last summer in San Marcos and if you live in San Marcos, you have to float the San Marcos River!

That's my roommate Aimee.  We have a pact to float at least once every week this summer since we're recent graduates with no obligations this summer except work.

So, why am I packing right now?  Three months before I leave for Spain?  Because this is my summer living schedule:

I move out of my apartment on June 30th.  

I move in with Andres until his lease ends, on August 10th.

Then we both move in with Andres's mom (who is the nicest and most kind hearted woman I have ever met, no lie) until we leave for Spain on September 13th.  That's right ladies and gentlemen, we have bought our tickets.  Andres's mom, Sylvana, is going to be with us in Spain until September 30th.  Andres is going to stay with me until December 6th.  There are a lot of reasons he can't stay the entire time, and as much as I love him, I think I'd like a little just me and Spain time, you know?

So for the last 12 days  for 2 of the last 12 days I have been packing up stuff that I can live without.  It's like a filtering process, I've made huge donations to goodwill (like half my closet) and given my sister boxes of all my textbooks and memorabilia in my room.  My stuff is going to be spread out everywhere but it feels good to know that everything I do early is less I have to do at move out.  Isn't it funny how no matter how much I do, there's still a huge list to do?  

And I'm certainly complicating things.  Can I live without embroidery supplies for a year?  LOL!  Almost certainly!  And if I really wanted to do some rad, this ain't your gramma's embroidery, I'm betting DMC thread is if not as cheap, at least not expensive in Spain.  But my frugal, pack rat side thinks that I should take some thread with me.  Thread.  Well, I'm glad I came and talked to you guys.  I have my brain back and the thread is most definitely staying.  Thanks, and see you next time.  Probably after my likely-to-be-traumatic-trip to the Spanish Consulate to apply for my Visa, hopefully this Friday. 

PS - for those of you who are not much for crafts, DMC thread costs about 33 cents for 8 meters.  Yeah.
