Caffeinated.
I accidentally drank three cups of coffee and a double vanilla latte today. Wheeeeeeee! I'm jittery. Wheeeeeeee!
Here's a picture to bring joy to everyone. Or just my feet.
New shoes make a girl feel pretty.
I heart my new Sam and Libby shoes. I have extremely narrow feet and ankles that turn inward, so finding cute shoes that also fit well is kind of a challenge. Sam and Libby always fit me, and also, they were on sale at Rack Room, on a holy weekend: Buy One Pair Get The Second Pair Fifty Percent Off. Hooray for sales.
I also tried to shop for clothes in the juniors section this weekend, because the clothes in juniors are SO. MUCH. CHEAPER. Not so much. (Note to self: I no longer can wear juniors. Even the biggest size. My booty is taking over. Must buy clothes in the ladies section.)
I'm leaving for San Diego tomorrow to watch my fabulous twin sister run in the Rock and Roll Marathon. Go Cathy! Go Cathy!
Classy Cathy can run a marathon.
In addition to running marathons, Cathy teaches high school, and also lends me great clothes all the time. She's a schmoo.
The Rock and Roll Marathon has this cool thing called Wiggle Wireless -- if you register, you can actually receive text messages on your cell phone that tracks a runner's progress in the marathon. No kidding. So I'll get a TEXT MESSAGE! when Cathy is passing all the Kenyans and hitting the 10K mark, or the 20-mile mark. Isn't that so freakin' cool? (I told my friend Catherine about it this morning, and she said, "Surely we can end poverty if we can do something like that." Word.)
Oh, the knitting? Well, work was officially LAME yesterday so I decided to take a brief break and take some blurry secret pictures.
Yummy purple shawl. I'm all about the shawls. This shawl is going really quickly - it's laceweight yarn on size 10s, so it's a little tricksy at times, but the Morehouse Merino is SO SOFT AND DELICIOUS. I'm planning to take this shawl and my Flower Basket Shawl on my trip. I also have a River Tape project in the works, although I left the pattern book at Jacob's parents house, so I may or may not be able to continue knitting on it. And of course, Jacob's sock.
Delirious! Wheee! I'm going to go try and wrap up all the looses ends at work before I take off for the West Coast. We are staying with Jacob's cousins right near the beach! Yay! And I'm going to get to see this fabulous girl because we're flying into the OC, and also I get to ride a train. I've never ridden a train! CAN YOU STAND THE FUN TIMES?
If you are familiar with San Diego and would like to tell me about a yarn shop, please do! I may have time to pop in and buy lots of yarn -- errr -- browse. Hope ya'll have a great rest of the week.
