Knitter I am

So I knitted the cutest baby booties and had my roommate take a picture so I could post them. And I am still waiting for him to take his camera to work and e-mail me the photo. Argh! I am also making a hat which is turning out really cute. The booties are pink with a cream strap and then I am making the hat out of the cream yarn with some pink eyelet. So cute. And so easy. Hopefully she will be impressed. And the best part is this didn't cost me a single cent. I already had all the yarn so this will be the cheapest baby shower gift ever. Never mind what I paid for the yarn initially-it was all used for something else to begin with so now I consider it free. I do have to get some double pointed needles but I consider needles an investment and not so much a cost. I am really good at justifying spending money.

And now I am sitting at my desk procrastinating. I am going to lunch with my sister soon and then I have to run a bunch of errands so hopefully the afternoon will go by fast. And then I have to work at La Med. Long day. But riding my bike to work is so nice. It is so much faster than the bus, which means I get to sleep in an extra 20 minutes. Although today I was really annoyed riding my bike. Everyone knows you have to peg your right pant leg so that it doesn't get caught in the gear crank and get your pants all dirty and potentially rip them. But I have discovered a new problem. Apparently I have to peg my left pant leg as well because it keeps catching on my water bottle holder which is REALLY annoying. I said several bad words on my way to work today. I need to get a new helmet too. My helmet is really dorky. Helmets are dorky enough but mine is particularly bad. Not cute at all.

Todays GRE word...

Bombastic-Bold in speech and manner. (and not in a good way)

I think it's so great that you are riding your bike to work. I always wondered why you seperated bike riding from transportation...
I'm in for knitting this weekend. You should come over and maybe we can try a game of Canasta later in the evening. I haven't seen Bryan in a while.
