I just spent $55 at The Loopy Ewe. But wait! I got two skeins of yarn–enough to make two pairs of socks–and those cute sheepy notecards I’ve been wanting. And I got free shipping. And I’m trying to justify spending $55 at The Loopy Ewe. Retail therapy! Happy Christmas to me. I’m actually thinking about trotting on over to Knit Picks or Etsy RIGHT NOW and buying more yarn. darnit. But I probably won’t…probably…haha…

Yeah, that exam I was supposed to take today? Did not occur. We got not snow, but ice overnight and nearly everything on base shut down, including the education office. So I emailed my instructor to say, hey, I haven’t taken the final yet…um help please? Haven’t heard from her yet. eek. yikes.

Work today was ok, especially since we came in later (7 AM as opposed to 5) and I got to leave early (12:30 as opposed to 2:30), because of the weather. At first, though, I wondered if everyone just forgot to come to work because I showed up in the parking lot around 6:50 and there were NO other cars in the parking lot at all. Then people began trickling in, so I felt better…though the weather was still wacky, as I tried washing my windshield this morning because it was spotty and the fluid froze on my windshield as soon as it made contact. Now that’s cold. Then when I left at 12:30, I had to scrape my windows! I don’t think I’ve ever had to scrape my windows since I lived in Virginia. It’s such a weird winter (even though I think it’s technically not winter till the 21st? 22nd? something).

Tomorrow is one of my sisters’ birthday. The day after tomorrow is my 5-year wedding anniversary. I want to commemorate the day by taking something like my wedding photos into the backyard and LIGHTING THEM ON FIRE.

ahem.

I’m gonna be ok, really. I promise.
