The week is OVER!

Thank the Gods and the Goddesses! I am exhausted! The first week of school always wipes me out. One of the biggest adjustments is that I'm so hungry by lunchtime. I don't really eat a lot during the day, but I guess do a lot of grazing, because I can't wait to eat my lunch after the kids leave.

I figure now that school has started and I'll have so much free time (ha!) I need a new obsession, er, I mean hobby. Since it's a little easier to resurrect an old habit, I dug out some knitting books and some yarn and even my lovely Addi Turbo needles and I've started the not-in-the-round round scarf. I think it looks more like a half poncho than a scarf, but since I love ponchos that's a good thing. (My dad gave my first poncho - I think was probably around 5 years old or so, and it was dark pink and light pink and was made with granny squares. I don't have many memories of him, but that is one).

Speaking of styles and clothing (okay, yeah, it's a stretch, just go with me here), I purchased two new pairs of pants for work. I guess I'm thinking it is time to update the wardrobe and not wear jeans to work everyday. So I picked up some dressy slacks - the thing that I hate about slacks is that I need to wear real shoes, not my birks, not my Keens, not my sandals - real shoes blech! Maybe I will just start wearing more skirts that can with my birks and/or keens?? I did try on a couple of shirts - with buttons down the front and realized that I don't think I own a single button down shirt - wierd! While trying them on I realized that they just don't look good on me.

And hey, if your birthday is September 9th --- Happy Birthday - hope you have a good one. ;)
