from Sweetie Peas’ Etsy site. She’s a member of Ravelry, which is where I “met” her. Like I need one more set of stitch markers. Except that she does custom words, and I wanted something a little more risqué than her “Grumpy” ones. She also sent me a really cool present extra:
Love it.
In other news, I got a call from my new boss this morning, and I start work Monday! I took my new pants to Domenic’s Cleaners to be hemmed, and they wonderfully agreed to have them ready by tomorrow afternoon. I told them I hated asking for the rush job; I despise queue-jumpers of any kind, and am loath to do it myself, but I left it too late. I think that I wasn’t altogether confident that I really had the job, and was putting off altering pants that might have to be returned. I guess I can breathe easier now. So now the question is, what to wear? I bought a pants suit (black, goes with everything) and a skirt (black, with pink embroidery), some jackets and a few tops that will go with the pants. I’ll probably have to get another pair of pants, but I didn’t want to go overboard for a job I wasn’t sure about. I won’t be able to wear the last batch of clothes I bought until I lose some of my unemployment weight. Which should be pretty quick; eight hours on your feet tends to make the pounds melt off. Plus, I won’t be near a kitchen all day long either. I’ll have to bring a small jar of Skippy and a spoon so I can take my 3:30 pill; if I take it without some kind of protein, I get dizzy. And more dizzy I don’t need.

That is a fun stitch marker, and I am so excited for you.
Do you think the store will let you wear pieces during the work day, i.e., pins and necklaces and other dress-up items? I admit I am a big pin and scarf wearer. I am also a huge fan of COLOR with black– lots of lime greens and cobalt blues and reds. Lots of reds. Good luck on Monday!
