Here I am back at my desk and back to work. It truly is so much more fun to be out playing and doing fun things although Lucy and I were messing around in Los Gatos shopping and then went to the outlet stores in Gilroy and closed them last night so we didn't get home until midnight. Of course I had my usual cramps all night long so didn't even spend much time in bed. We left here on Saturday and our first stop was Los Gatos where we got changed into our cloths for an annual Christmas Party that we go to in Watsonville. It was so much fun once again. It is a great group of people and we do the gift exchange. You never know what you are going to get and you don't know what you will end up with until the end because if you have something really nifty it will be taken away from you. Of course you will have the opportunity to get it back at a later date, but this is a great way to have fun with friends and no one knows who brought what. Then on Sunday we walked all over Los Gatos and went to my favorite shoe store and I did a little damage there. I love shoes. It is truly one of my weaknesses kind of like yarn. We went to the yarn store in Los Gatos and the name of that store is Yarndogs. It is a really cute little yarn store. There were about 7 or 8 ladies in the store knitting on projects. They had many of the same yarns that our LYS carries so we didn't buy any yarn, but we did buy a couple of patterns. The other yarn store was closed so we were not able to check it out. In Gilroy we hit a select few stores, but because I was returning a dress that I had purchased through the catalog at Coldwater Creek and ordering something else, it took a little longer than I thought. I was able to test my skills at patience and well, everything worked out fine but we didn't get out of there until 7:35. Fortunately we had already had our dinner so just had to stop for gas once and then another stop to kind of get out and walk around. I took my socks to knit, but we were on the go so much that we did not get any knitting done at all. :-( We will be hanging out here tonight so if I don't fall asleep, we will be knitting today so that is nice. I really love the schaffer yarn that I bought for socks. It is very nice. I know, I have promised pictures and I will try to post some, but no promises for a post today. Please be patient.
