Things that just don't add up...

Alright, my big plans for today are get my blog written and knit till my fingers fall off. Yeah, big plans. :~)

Monday night I went to the store to see if I could get some more yarn for my sweater. I don't know about you, but when it says it needs 13 ozs of yarn I tend to believe that it needs 13 ozs of yarn... So when I ran out of 16 ozs of yarn, I started to think that 13 ozs was only if you wanted a sleeveless sweater! Well, I went out to see if I could find some yarn. Oh, on a side note I hate that Wal-mart has discontinued their fabric section I used to love to go there for that reason. Also they seem to have lessened their crafts section altogether. Anyway, I went to Wal-mart cause that is where I got my yarn to start with. I guess it is partly my fault for not working on it for 2 years... I couldn't find the color I needed. Well thank goodness for Hobby Lobby. They didn't have the exact same color but it is close enough. Silly me I thought that I wouldn't need to get any more yarn for it when I bought the 16 ozs, so I tossed the wrapper. Note to self don't do that anymore! :~)

Tuesday I wasn't feeling very well, so I kinda took the day off. I felt a little better when the shoes I had bought on-line for my sister's wedding came. I will be one of the bridesmaids, so I needed to coordinate with my other sister who lives half an hour from a mall and an hour away from a good mall! Since my family doesn't have the time to mall surf, my sister looked on-line and found what she wanted. I usually hate to buy things over the Internet for the simple fact that I can't try it on... Call my crazy but I like to only buy things that fit and look nice on me. I got lucky though, these shoes look quite nice and fit well. Not to mention that they are very comfortable.

Wednesday I was feeling about the same as Tuesday. The good news came in the form of the dress I had purchased on-line for my sister's wedding. Yes, I live in Memphis and the store here didn't have the dress I was looking for. Another pet peeve of mine... Anyway, the dress fits and looks alright on me. If I'm going to look good in those wedding pictures though I'd better lay of the chocolate for a while if you know what I mean! ;~) The last thing I want is incriminating photos of me with signs of chocolate consumption around my middle. :~)

Yesterday I had a relatively good day. I got up and took Jamey to work... It's been a couple of weeks since I've done that due to the sleepy factor. However, I was feeling more awake yesterday morning than I have in a long time. I did get a lot of things done. I had to grocery shop, mail some letters, pick up prescriptions, and get a slip for the above mentioned dress. I'm slightly proud of myself... I got temporarily lost on my way home from the post office (Jamey usually takes me there) but I know my way around well enough to get myself home. Jamey had somewhere he had to go after work so I got to go with him. It was one of those work parties that have appetizers and are intended so you can meet some of the people you work for or with but have never met in person. The food was good and the people were nice. After that we came home and finished watching the first season of 24. Ok, I have one thing against this show... If you have kept my attention for 24 hours at least have a happy ending. Is that too much to ask? I don't really get the programs that want to be like real life... For goodness sake, that's why we watch TV to get away from real life. Am I wrong in wanting happy endings on programs? I might watch the second season, but it will be a few days before that happens.

Well, the first half of my big plan for today is done. The second half will come in a little while as I plan on returning to my knitting when I'm done with this. I also have to get ready to go to IL tomorrow and I have to do those mundane house chores that make life so darn interesting! :~)
