Hello! :)

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. In a quick recap of last week, I went to the LYS's tent sale and got five skeins of Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece in a medium blue, two skeins of Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in Lilac, and the only skein I could find of S.R. Kertzer On Your Toes DK in... Mauve Meadow? I think???

Anyways. Today my cousin Justin came up. He's dog-sitting for us tomorrow while we're at my sister's university graduation, and he's coming to dinner with us in the evening. I think my mom said he's staying tomorrow night, too.

So today I got my hair cut. I got an angled bob, which looks neat. I plan on pinning the front sections back with my bluey hair clips. I might also experiment with my bobbley hair elastics. I told my mom after I got out of the chair that I have Sailor Mercury hair, lol.

After my haircut, we went to Giant Tiger, where I got some new PJs (they didn't have a blue set in my size :( ). We got some Cadbury chocolate biscuits, too, and some other stuff. And then we went to Toys R Us to get my sister a 'new car' - a toy car. Justin got some cute Hello Kitty cards and a puzzle for Grandma, and I decided to get some replacement Monopoly money for Katie's grad present ;) We also went to Denningers to get lunchmeat.

We had perogies for dinner (boughten from Denningers), and I tidied the spare bed for Justin (can't remember if this was before or after dinner). I also got some knitting done while me and Justin were watching TV - I worked on my house tie, because I don't have a size 8 circular to make the bobble pillow for Herbology. I have a size 9 one, though. Maybe I'll swatch with that this week.

I also packed my purse for the travel, because we're getting up at 5:30 and hoping to hit the rode around 6:00 or 6:15 - her grad is pretty early, and they're being strict on when they're going to stop letting people in. I have packed:

A Zip-Loc bag with my hair clips, a comb and a small mirror in it.
Two books (Blood and Chocolate and Tris's Book).
My emergency feminine hygiene products wallet.
A pack of gum.

I might also include a couple of tissues and maybe some hand lotion. My hands get pretty dry. I would bring knitting, but given that I'll be in pretty close quarters, I don't think that would be possible, even if it is on a circular needle.

I think I have a cold

I woke up this morning with a stuffy nose. Ugh. Having a shower helped, though, and now I'm drinking some Celestial Seasonings Almond Sunset tea. Yum!

I forgot to mention that I got some new clothes yesterday. A brown belted jacket and a white belted blouse, both at Giant Tiger. I tried on a junior women's hoodie, and although it fit okay, I decided not to get it because I was worried about shrinkage. It's pathetic that I, a teenager, cannot fit into most junior women's clothing at Giant Tiger. I'm fit, and yet I usually have to wear a medium or large ladies' top, depending on the brand and style. This is because my arms are a bit muscle-y, my legs are muscle-y, I actually have a butt, and I have what the cast of Monty Python and the Holy Grail would call 'great tracts of land'. So because I'm not a stick insect, I can't wear some of the cute tops I find at Giant Tiger.

When I was trying on blouses, my dad showed me a bright top and said, "Try this on." When I told him that it was a junior top, he just said, "Please, humor me." The white blouse I got has these cute puffy sleeves. I wasn't used to them, because they cling to your arms a bit, but I love it. I even have a skirt to go with it.

Speaking of skirts, I also got four skirt hangers. Now I'm able to hang up a skirt that I had folded up in a drawer! It probably needs to be ironed now!
