Thoughts on Thursday

If you wake up with a migraine, just plan on it being one of those days. That's what I did and made it much easier to survive. I didn't rush, but I took everything one step at a time and at the end of the day feel pretty good overall. It helps to end the day with a homecooked meal at the girls and then a warm tub and some reading.

Random Wednesday

• allergies are really starting to attack, can we go back to winter, please? 
• broke down and saw New Moon this weekend, liked it better after listening to the commentary
• counting down the days until April 1st and the start of spring break
• mr80grit is in the middle of a spring cleaning fit, so I am doing everything I can to help him
• mom and dad will be going to Montana for Easter weekend to visit my grandmother for her 90th birthday
• I am still struggling with the time change, it is so weird to leave work and the sun is out 
• stuck in a rut in my knitting. same socks on the needles for over a month and started my 2nd sock yarn leftover baby afghan...i really need to find a shawl that I want to do and cast on
• time to go for a quick walk and get some chocolate!

Fridays are amazing

It has been a while since I understood that whole TGIF thing. (for fellow blondes that doesn't mean toes go in first). I am getting more excited about weekends with each passing week. I love that I get to hang out with my hubby all weekend long. Yes, we are each others best friend. We really need to focus on the house this weekend. But it is already has the makes of a busy weekend, band practice on Saturday for like three hours as the contemporary band is learning a new song. Plus they are doing photo shoots for the kids in the different bands for work tomorrow too and I might wander there as they are in the same building as our practice.

Fridays are short days in the office for the teachers too. They only teach until 6 pm instead of the normal 9 pm. So I usually close the office up on Fridays. Tomorrow a few of the teachers have lessons so I have to print there schedules and leave it for them.

The downside of sitting by big windows that face south is that by 4 o'clock in the afternoon on really sunny days like today the front office area is a sauna even though it is cold outside, Crazy I know but I can handle it! I love having windows.

Knitting - I really need to do some knitting especially on mr80grit's thank you socks as I am ready to be done if you know what I mean!

Does this seem like I am rambling??? It does to me so that means I sign off for now!

The End

It is finally the end of a very long work week. I am going to enjoy tomorrow by sleeping in, going to the library, going to my fav LYS to pick up Harry Potter Sock yarn. I have a bubble bath planned. Maybe I will even go out to dinner or late lunch with my hubby. That would be nice. Of course, there will be knitting and maybe even some pictures. I finished the Noble Fir socks and have started Toasted Marshmellow Socks. I need to cast on something just for me. Mr80grit balled the yarn for my next shawl.

I will be working a very weird schedule in October as my co-worker is going to be out for a while. She is the sweetest person and I hate that this has happened to her and wish her a quick recovery.

I am still going to the Great Basin Fiber Art this weekend. I can't not wait. I missed it last year and heard all about it and now I got both days off due to other awesome co-workers! I am going to have a ball of fun!

End of September

It is the end of September and that means October will be here and we will need to go hunt for pumpkins like these that we had last year. I just which the weather would act like the end of September instead of August with high's in the mid to high 80's. I can see red color on the mountains but with the work schedule I have I won't make it up there until next weekend. I want to put my fall wreath on my front door but the colors haven't really started to change down here in the valley yet. I want a really beautiful and crisp fall.

Not enough Chocolate..

When you need it most. It usually hits me at work in the afternoon, especially when I forget to pack any good kind in my lunch. SF jello pudding sometimes just doesn't hit the spot. I need just a little piece. I don't carry change at work so I am not tempted to buy a big bar of chocolate as I am trying to eat healthier. I always plan for a little chocolate each day. But sometimes when I am overly stressed by toxic people at work, I need a little more than I have on hand. Like today, I totally left home without some....it was a very long day until I could get home and have one delicious piece(s). I feel much better now, and now I am ready for a healthy dinner. Maybe I will have another piece after dinner.
