First Day of Work

See that there in the middle?? That is probably the coolest puzzle in the world. It is round and has all of the important things about michigan, like state birds and great lakes (which of course = great times). I love it. The yarn below it was my treat after my first day of work. Yay! And it is wonderful, so soft, and the colors are excellent. although i have no idea what i will do with it....all in good time. on the right is JFC's rugby style knee sock with reinforced contrasting heel and toe. i finished it last night and much to my delight it fits his skinny little legs like a dream (sans pattern!!). so if any of you out there have a husband/brother/son/boyfriend with skinny little legs...let me know and I will write you the pattern. So first day of work...went very smoothly. Although I did find myself very nervous the night before and the next morning. I don't know why..I just get that way. I am a walking embarassing moment half the time, and this is working with JFC's parents...so that equals a dangerous mix. But it went well. They have a book/stationary shop, that also has the lotto. And let me tell you...that lotto machine is lots of fun. All kinds of bells & whistles, it even plays the tune to "you're in the money" when someone wins. Ok so I shouldn't glorify gambling, and I don't do it myself..but that machine...its big fun. And a guy even asked for my number, with a real slick line "Yeah i'll take the tape...and your number..." wink wink snap of the fingers. (i politely replied that "somebody already has my number, but thanks anyway") all in a days work. And then new yarn...fabulous.
