I didn’t knit on the way to work but I knitted on the way home. You won’t believe what I found! I was back to my original number of stitches even though Lisa and I had been unable to find that extra stitch even after we stripped 3 rows away. Somehow the darn thing must have slipped past the needle and us. I don’t know how it happened but the scarf seems okay!

This evening I went shopping with Erin. We first went to Ann Taylor Loft and I bought a black pseudo wrap dress for the seminar tomorrow. As I paid for the dress, the cashier told me she was giving me a 25.00 gift certificate. I was overjoyed! Then she said, “You can use it when you spend 50.00.” I didn’t realize there were strings attached.
“Oh, I see,” I said.
“AND it must stay stapled to this receipt because if you return this dress, you must forfeit the gift certificate.”
Geez Louise! What a wonderful gift, THANK YOU!
Erin and I left Ann Taylor Loft and proceeded to Payless Shoes. I was hoping to find a fantabulous pair of shoes to wear with my new dress. The thing is, Payless only sells really cheap shoes. I found two pair that I kinda liked but I couldn’t justify spending what would amount to 40.00 on shoes that would give me blisters and disintegrate after a couple wearings.

Once we were finished at the mall, we went to HMart. We haven’t been grocery shopping together in ages! It was fun walking up and down the aisles checking out the crazy Korean food items. This time we weren’t so overly experimental in our purchases having had bad experiences in the past. Strangely enough, I didn’t buy that much at all: eggs, chestnut stuffed cakes and kiwis. It is a rarity that I come home from work and whip up a dinner so what is the point in buying food that will just rot in the fridge?

I gotta get myself to bed. Tomorrow I must wake up super early to take an even earlier train. I’ve decided I am going to take the train in and then once I have everything settled at the office, I will taxi cab it to the hotel where the seminar is taking place. I think that is better than driving all over creation.
