Various tidbits of my exciting life

Had an interesting day today. Really wanted coffee this morning, so I made a bigger pot than normal so that I would have a second cup to take on the road. Got ready for work, fixed the second cup, gathered up my things & headed out. Note to self: If one goes to the trouble of preparing a second cup of coffee to take to work, one should actually take it to work instead of leaving it on the kitchen counter.

Before work, I frogged the fish hat that I started the other day. It was just coming out too small. For some reason the cast-on row did not want to rip out, so I had to undo all 90 stitches one by one. This sucked up all my knitting time, so I stuffed the project back into the bag & took it with me to work. Once I arrived I had about 10 minutes before I had to be at my desk, so I pulled out my project. Note to self: When one packs up one's knitting project, one should make sure to put the needles in the bag too.

Saw a truck on the way to work today, a rather large pick-up. It had the over-sized tires that the younger guys seem to like, and it was all jacked up. I liked the license plate: RNNOVRU

Had a really good lunch today. I was planning on going to Olive Garden for soup & breadsticks, but there was a long wait so I crossed the parking lot to Red Lobster. They have some nice weekday lunch specials; I chose a chicken & shrimp combo. I'm rather glad that the Olive Garden was so crowded.

Speaking of food, I almost stopped to pick some up on the way home from work. I wasn't hungry at all, since I'd had a large & late lunch, but it's just been so long since I've seen a Pioneer Chicken that I was quite tempted. Perhaps for lunch on Sunday. . . it's about 15 miles from the house, which is a bit of a drive just for lunch and the Pioneer probably won't taste as good as I remember, but just for the nostalgia it might be worth it.

Tomorrow is The Knitting Day. There will be potentially 7 of us at this point. I hope everyone has a good time.
