All Done Until 2007

I have served my requirements for jury duty until 2007. I ended up not getting into the jury pool even, not even to the voir dire! As it turned out, I was glad, since I was not able to take my knitting with me - I was even using my Denise needles and a set of bamboo needles, but they took them saying that they weren't allowed - I explained that they WERE allowed on the airlines, they even took my kids safety scissors!

Then one woman was clipping coupons with scissors and another woman was crocheting with a metal circular crochet hook (?) - looked more like knitting with a crochet hook! I was quite annoyed that for some reason these other women were allowed to play with dangerous items but not me! :(

So I did my civic duty at the cost of not getting any knitting done today. I guess that makes it a wash.

Sean had a good time with Parris and I even was able to stop at Toys R Us to get the one *big* present for Ahren -- Go Go My Walking Pup - she has been wanting one since September - so that will be her gift from Santa.

Now I get to finish up my resume for the teacher's meeting tomorrow morning. Have I mentioned that I'm going to be the permenant sub for Sean's preschool teacher's aide who is leaving in mid December to have a baby. I'm happy about it (especially a little bit of extra cash!) but I will lose the only kid-free time that I currently have. Oh well, it will be worth it. I especially really like the class' teacher, so that makes it all worth it.
