A case of the Tuesdays....

One thing working in the financial industry, we have Columbus Day off... Gotta love Columbus day. Now I wish every Monday was Columbus Day, although waking up this morning seemed a little harder than most Mondays. This was the last Monday holiday off of the year as well, sniff, sniff..
I am looking forward to visiting my parents over Thanksgiving this year, although I anticipate a lot of self pity going on around Christmas. This will be the first year I can remember not spending Christmas with my parents. Yes, yes, I know I am not a kid anymore, but still... This weekend I bought myself a Rodney & Rhonda doll from Hallmark, remember these??

For me...

So I splurged and might have bought myself a few things today....after the week of hard work here at the office... I bought these shoes...I did end up buying them in black at endless.com (I couldn't find my size in blue):( Endless had a special promotion, and if they don't fit there is free return shipping, so I thought after drooling for a week or so that I would give them a try. I am also thinking about ordering one of these for my double pointed needles.

Just put me out of my misery....

Sometimes I feel like Dilbert, working away in my cubicle, typing endless reports about the same stuff over and over.... Sometimes there are days/weeks when I feel like this...although if I knew how to use photoshop I could add in a bottle of wine, some advil and an empty glass..
I need to give myself a pep talk, I will finish this week, then I will go out to dinner instead of cooking....something to look forward to. Good thing I have a vacay planned to visit the rents in Aloha town :P

Time for Decorating!!

So it's October 2nd, time for decorating for Haloween. I do have to prove to my roommate that I swear there are decorations in all of those boxes I have stacked in the garage in what would be my parking space. So.... here is some new Vesper yarn colorways that I saw that went up today and were all sold out in a jiffy. Hopefully there will be more soon!! Here is the website just in case anyone doesn't have it http://www.knitterlythings.com/shop/

Must find out..

Who makes these fablous shoes?? I want them!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmm, well I have a feeling that they are expensive, expensive like Christian Louboutian probably. The jewelry she is wearing is beautiful as well. A girl can wish!! I am so having a don't want to work day today. I am pretty much sporting the bare minimum flare today. I would much rather be shoe shopping :)

On the knitting front, I am still working on my dream in color shrug, I am done with the lace part and am down to knitting the other cuff. Then comes the task of picking up about a zillion stitches to knit the border around the thing and block it. I am hoping that it comes together once I pick up the stitches. I wonder if I should block the lace part before I pick up the stitches?? Decisions, decisions...

John Mayer Rocks

Ah....I got to see John Mayer in concert and I just thought I would say he rocks! This is one artist that I can honestly say was better in person!!

Yea Friday!

So its Friday, what could be better, well if it was Friday at say, 5:00... Or I know, if it were some kind of holiday, yeah a friday holiday...one can only wish...

Tonight I have plans to drink wine and attempt to make potstickers (blame this Alton Brown episode that I saw on Food Network where he made them) They look so good and i thought it might be neat. Then again I do already have a package of potstickers in my freezer from trader joes...hmmm...
