Stuff

What a busy day. Everyone is severely cranky at work right now for a multitude of reasons, so I am really glad that I am going to be attending a Sales and Use Tax Seminar tomorrow. In order to inspire me to stay awake, I bought a new pink Hello Kitty pen with scented ink!, and I finally bought the special insulated Starbucks cup that looks exactly like the clear cups that your iced drinks come in. I am currently hooked on their blended lemonades. It is the perfect thing for when it is hot and really humid out. Since it was pay day, I ended up running a bunch of errands after work. I bought A’s birthday present and I had coupons to AC Moore and Michaels but there wasn’t any big ticket items that I had to have (and neither place carries Sock-Ease) so I ended up using it to buy baby yarn for my preemie hats that I am making.
I did order the American Girl Ruthie doll. I had it shipped to mom’s for safe keeping. American Girl dolls are nice and if the box doesn’t require a signature they just leave it on your doorstep so I just have important stuff sent to my Mom’s house and then I pick it up when I come visit. I did place my Amazon order too, I am getting the Mary Jane Farmgirl Lifebook by Mary Jane Butters, Project Runway Season three, the Raising Sand cd, and Margaret Cho’s movie Bam Bam and Celeste. I already know that I am going to watch Project Runway Season Three over and over again because that is what I have been doing with the first two seasons. Anything with Margaret Cho is a winner. Even my sister likes watching her dvds. I really like to watch dvds or crap reality shows while I am working on craft projects.
I am making progress on the seafoam shawl. I have used up the two smaller balls already and now I am starting the gigantic skein. It came in the pound of mill end yarn that I bought at AC Moore, so sometimes the yarn is skeined nicely and other times it is just a hot mess. I think it will go faster now since I have now crocheted farther on it then what I had to rip out the first time.
I also bought Penelope on DVD. I had seen the previews for it on other DVDs for the longest time and it finally came out and it has a preview for the Twilight movie (based on the Stephenie Meyer novel) so I am stoked about that too. I would have watched it tonight but by the time I came home from errands and Starbucks all these people called and I didn’t want to start the movie at 10 pm because I knew I had this seminar the next day and I have major problems paying attention at those things.
