07.28
Another week starts and I wish you all a great one. :) Carl already knows this will be a very hectic one. On friday he goes to Toronto to meet clients, they are having supper at an expensive 100$/person restaurant and they'll go to a lounge. Now here's the kicker... I could go if I want to. I am not the kind of person that would entertain the clients well though. I'd be mostly smiling and eating! LOL! Then at the lounge well, you don't want to look drunk before clients right? ;)
I do have a tiny dilema, what if I went to TO but didn't go to supper with dh and the clients? Say, I stayed at the hotel and ordered in or maybe found a little restaurant close by. Dh will ask his boss if it would be possible that would stay an extra day there. Then come back home by our own means. A 5 hour car ride with dh's boss just isn't in my repertoire of fun activities! ;) Also I don't do to well in long car rides, I don't mind the bus though, nor the train. Hey, Via Rail now has the option of sleeping in the cars from Toronto to Montreal. Isn't that neat? LOL! ;)
Oh and how about yarns stores on TO! I hear a few are pretty, ah well, we'll see how the week goes. It is fun to think I might but at the same time, I know I might not. Dreaming doesn't hurt anyone though! ;)
Ok, how about knitting? Humm... I had to restart the Broadripple socks 4 times yesterday BUT by the time I went to bed, I had knitting a BIG 4 rounds! See the colorsway I'm using in the zebra-like pic above. LOL! ;) I finished the ties on my daypack and will knit the handles today, I hope to have it done by wednesday to show it off to the moms and the mommy&coffee group. We were only 3 last week but they were genuinely interested to know about felting and kool aid dying. I'd love to show them the bag all felted and well..... I am eager to start wear it! LOL! I can't wait to dye again, it was so much fun. Mittens, hats and scarves would look pretty fun in cool aid colors! :)
UGH! Last rant of the day, yesterday I was taking the subway and it stopped, everyone had to come out, they were interrupting the service. I had to walk 5 stops and by the time I go to the "fun" place I wanted to go, I was beat! LOL! It was nice to walk around the One of a kind show, it was an artisan exhibit with 150 booths, though I did 'resist' buying a 36$ jar of salt scrub and an 85$ necklace! HA! It was kinda nice to see what artisans from all over Canada are making. Thank goodness I had a rebate because it was not worth paying 5$ in my opinion. In less than 30 minutes I had seen everything. I was moslty interested in kids clothes, necklaces and bath products but at the prices they were selling there stuff it was not worth it for me. Ok, I know it was suppose to be expensive! LOL! ;)
Have a great day, I'm off to Walmart with Lucas, his my little day for the day. WOOHOO!
p/s: Oh I forgot to say... THIS came with the ball winder last week! LOL!
