Arrgh Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day!

So I was kicking ass on the the second front panel of the Natalie coat. Rockin a good 6,7 inches. Unfortunately, it was a second left panel instead of a right. Doh! Frogged it, re-cast on, couldn't count, cast on again, did a few rows, can't count in a different spot, tinked, can't read numbers, tinked some more. Now I think I'm back on track. At least the mistake in the pattern is repeated on the second panel as well. I emailed them about it. But it could just be my math skills.

Once my frustration reached critical mass I decided to try and start the circular shawl with my new pretty purple. Big mistake there. Damn circular cast on. Plus, I can't find any 4 double points in this house. Goldangit. So I watched The History of Playing Cards and read The Fourth Bear.

New Kniity up today! I love the Ivy wrap sweater. It looks just lovely.

If I were to get a tatoo I think I would like the White Tree of Gondor on my foot. I just love the beautiful line drawing of the roots and branches with the seven stars around it. The thing is, I don't think I'm a big enough fan to deserve that drawing on my person. Maybe I will have it done once I actually finish the books.

My sister had the pink eye. But she is over it now. Thank goodness. But after all the managerial bullshit today, I almost wish I had got it. I could have had five days off. Suck it Kroger! My sister's friends gave her some get well soon presents. A iced cookie shaped like Belle and on the plastic over the cookie they pinked out her eyes, an It's A Girl balloon with the Girl crossed out and Pink Eye written in, a pink lightup pushpop, an orange with "Orange you glad we're your friends?", and some Matzo. Because the matzo was cheap. I oughta know, I marked them down.

Much bullshit at work. The manager has decided that we are to work 8-4:30 instead of 7-3:30, because she had a problem the other day after one of us left. First off, she is a manager and should know how to change prices, and secondly- big freakin deal, like an hour is going to solve anything. There are still problems after 4:30, too. Its 4th week which means almost all the prices change. And this is a really bad fourth week. I put out about 400 price increases today, as opposed to the 50 or so I would normally do. They have set up the promo aisle for Halloween so much time was spent tagging and signing that stupid aisle. And to top if off we didn't have any 3x11 sign paper for most of the week. We called about 4 times and finally Rachel drove down to Lynn Station Road to go get it.

I want some chicken wings.

It was Darkest Hour, the prologue to the Dawn series! Man I loved that book. Pure trash!
