Things of today:
- Got my yarn for my skirt last night. I decided on this skirt in a dark blue-purple blackberryish yarn. I'm pretty pleased with how it's working up so far - the lacy bit at the bottom of the skirt is fun to do.
- Today, I am wearing the shortest skirt I have worn in...I can't remember. See, a few weeks ago, it was very hot. And I know that I don't like wearing shorts - I don't feel I look good in them and that makes me uncomfortable - but I love wearing skirts. So I went out and bought two knee-length skirts, one denim and one khaki. You are probably thinking, "Knee-length really isn't all that short," but man, I haven't worn anything shorter than tea-length since...middle school, maybe. It's a little weird, though not near as uncomfortable as wearing shorts. And now I get to show off my slowly expanding collection of tights and knee socks.
- La familia and I watched Footloose this weekend, which I had never seen before. It is kind of a ridiculous movie but enjoyable except, alas, for the female lead whom I found to be irritating. I realized halfway through the movie that the irritation is due to the fact that she wants to be Audrey Horne but isn't near awesome enough to actually be Audrey Horne. Still, there was a lot of ridiculous dancing, so that was fun.
- We have a juggler/magician coming to the library today for a children's program and I got to make up the reader board about him. His name is Roberto the Magnificent. The word "magnificent" is, in fact, too large for our reader board so it says "Roberto the Magnificen". I feel a little bad about that but, well, it didn't fit. And anyway we ran out of t's.
