So I am back from the great homeland and I REALLY DIDN'T want to leave....I got to spend lots of time with my little goddaughter A-Dolly. We read books and smashed play-doh and colored outside the lines. I spoiled her rotten, she is a girl after my own heart. Seriously, when a two year old girl with ringlets of girls runs towards you and gives you a big hug and smiles at you and says "i love you, " it melts your heart, even mine that has a dim view on love right now.
I shopped til I dropped at the outlet mall, ate loads of pork and beef and Amish noodles and pastries. I drove all over Iowa City and hung out with my cousins and visited schools. I went to the 4th of July parade and saw lots of really awesome John Deere tractors. I watched the fireworks and didn't get a single bug bite, which was a miracle. We also stuffed a flat rate box full of snacks and football reading material for my cousin in the Army in Iraq.
So what did I haul home?
1. two tone pink Jansport sling backpack (hello I will be going back to school in Jan and the outlet mall price = $18)
2. one skein of Jiffy thick and quick (which i am knitting right now and i swear it is like knitting with rope!)
3. two mini cross stitch kits ( 75 cents!!)
4. two metallic gel pens
5. 3 skeins of sugar and cream in very bright colors
6. a set of the new long Knifty knitter looms
7. one white polo
8. 3 pairs of old navy flip flops
9. purple hello kitty flip flops
10. Lion Brand's Just Bags book
11. british cross stitch magazine
12. messenger bag pattern
13. some odds and ends that I haven't unpacked yet.
Hmm, maybe it would have been better to list what I didn't buy. There really was stuff that i didn't buy and all most everything was seriously on sale. This also was my last allotted shopping trip of the summer since i am making myself save money for school and The Big Move. How boring is that?
