Brrr...I'm Going to Need a Sweater Today!

Yippee! I'll need socks, too! We had a freeze overnight, though it's now up to 39 deg F.

I had lofty aspirations to get up early & go shopping. I hate shopping. [If I'd buy a lottery ticket - I keep forgetting to do that - and WIN, I'd hired a personal shopper who would shop for everything except my clothes and my yarn.] Until then, I have to do my own shopping. I hate shopping even worse on weekends. So...the plan was to go early. But, I couldn't get out of bed. After this week back at work [Sept. is our busiest time of the year], I was absolutely shattered by last evening.

Missed my departure for early shopping before the crowds arrive, so I made a pot of coffee [1/2 decaf, 1/2 caf] and started catching up on other bloggers. I could do this all day.

But, it's Mother Hubbard's Cupboard out in my kitchen AND I'm out of laundry detergent. So, I've gotta go shopping. Feel the dread? I'm not agoraphobic, I just don't like crowds...not even small city, Midwestern crowds! When I have to queue up with my shopping cart [trolley, buggy] to get to the oatmeal, I could scream.

OTN: The beginning of sock 2 of the Move Your F@nny pair. Ooh, that could be what I knit during The Game today. Uh-Oh - gotta get going so I can get back before kickoff.

ALSO: the 2nd slipper of a pair for CIC. Using double stranded worsted Wool of the Andes - left over from the BSJ.

Oh, I know exactly how you feel... You could knit in the grocery line! It might make all those people stare, though - but at least it would help you ignore them!

Hi Jakki,

I have been too busy with mom to do much blogging, so trying to get caught back up.

Wish we would have a freeze! Sofee wishes for that also. We had some light frost a few days ago, but it is up in the 80's again today. Fall will come - eventually I am sure!
