Well, this is officially day 2 of the freezing rain ice crap. it's not as bad as the ice storm that we had last January, but it still sucked. I did make it into work today though and back and my car and I are still in one piece. My sister just found out that school is cancelled again tomorrow so since she's a teacher, she's been at the house chillin' and grading papers.
My Secret Pal Gwen (the one I sent stuff to in SP 11) sent me a really sweet thank you box on Saturday. She sent me a hot pink scarf she knitted out of Rowan biggy print, a box of See's chocolates (yummy),a copy of the new Knit 1 issue, a Hello Kitty 2008 calendar (i needed one of these for at home!) and a nice card. Totally unexpected and completely appreciated.
I did go shopping in Owasso with some work friends on Saturday. this was pre-storm, it was just cool and gloomy. honestly, I didn't really see anything that I couldn't live without. I finished up one VIP gift that I will mail to someone as soon as this crappy weather goes away. I wrapped all my Christmas presents that I have purchased so far.I just have to get presents for my cousins and I am kind of waiting to see if the weather is going to clear up enough for us to go to Kansas City because Iowa is getting hammered with snow and ice right now, so it's a play it by ear thing.
I have made two hats with the cotton candy LB Homespun yarn that I bought at Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon in Owasso. I haven't really worked on the scarf lately.
My sis and I did catch Tin Man on the Sci Fi Channel and it was totally awesome. I really hope that they release it on DVD.
I have been reading the new Charles Schulz bio and Holidays on Ice by David Sedaris. Both are excellent reads. Holidays on Ice is one of my favorite holiday themed books, it's a collection of some of his holiday short stories and they are just really funny.
this post is for Sunshine, who complained that I hadn't updated lately. Insert eye roll here. I will update again later this week probably when I have more news.
