I am so freakin’ glad it’s Friday. It has been a looooong week, and I *need* the day off from my family tomorrow. Thankfully, not only am I getting the day off from my family, but I get to go race around to seven local yarn shops on a bus with 20 other knitters. I knew there was a reason why I managed to survive the last few days.
Okay, there may have been more than one thing that kept me going the last few days. Super-cute smiles included.
And my awesome beginner class at the Yarnery that just ended. These ladies had spunk, made me laugh like crazy while they laughed with at me too. And they caught on and knit up a passel of mitts. See?
Today was our little friend M’s birthday. As a special treat, M’s mom took us out gave the girls their first manicure of sorts. Okay, it was a nail polish and glitter job at Kids’ Hair. Julie chose purple, and I think they both really enjoyed themselves.
The best part of the outing for me was the chance to catch up with my friend J as the girls behaved themselves fairly well and ate their lunches without complaint for once while we talked. I SO needed a good heart-to-heart with a mom I know and trust, and J fit the bill perfectly.
Oh, and the children’s play area at Eden Prairie Center? It still sucks. But we’ve covered that many times already.
But back to the plans for tomorrow – the directions are plotted, the roster is printed, the chocolate is stockpiled. I know what I’m going to wear, the new handbag came in the mail today, I’ve even picked out which knitting projects I’m bringing. I haven’t quite decided what my budget for tomorrow looks like. Must go do that.
Oh! and the blankie is visiting at the Yarnery for the weekend. Go say hello.
Ooh, you make me wish I had been a knitter when I lived in Eden Prairie, but I had no thought for yarn stores then. Wish I had a day off tomorrow but Girl Scout meeting instead! Wish me luck baking and teaching origami.
Your youngest daughter is the image of you – I am not usually good at seeing similarities… but this one is obvious.
20 years ago my daughters were that age, enjoy them while they are so young.
Kind regards
Eeps! I saw a sock yarn blanket today at the Yarnery but didn’t realize that it was THE blanket. *sigh*
have you tried the Gluten free Gourmet – the french bread is great – and better than rice cakes. 30 years ago when I started baking for my son – I had to grind my own rice flour…… there is a great basic baking mix that works for almost everthing. and a fantastic fruit tart – that my knitting group loves and requsets!
