I have today and tomorrow off from work. We are taking the boy to Fargo in North Dakota to visit North Dakota State University. It's one of the 5 colleges around with a Pharmarcy School - which the boy has decided to pursue after high school. Earlier this month, he visited Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa with his buddy and family. Today, we're taking him and his buddy. Both are looking into Pharmacy. Drake is a private school, tuition costs more, but offers more academic scholarships so in the end, it's going to cost about the same as the local University of Minnesota or University of Madison.
I received my backordered Malibrigo Rios from Webs. Someone asked me to give Webs another chance. I was going to, and then, when I received my invoice for this order, they did not give me my 25% off discount. I was not happy! I had to call them to make the adjustment! I was still not convinced they are that great... Then, the yarn came and I've forgiven them. I saw the original color I picked at the local yarn store. I'm glad I changed it to this color - Zarzamora. No pattern picked yet... So, worsted yarn has zero points. Here's the pile of 7 skeins...
and a closeup.
I traded Skinny Bugga in The Herald,
for this: Earth Boring Dung Beetle:
It looks awfully similar to the Pink-Toed Tarantula I received last week - except it's more solid. Pink-toed is in front:
I shipped out my travel swap package to Susan in Buffalo. Expecting her package to arrive today, but I'll be leaving for North Dakota, so I'll have that to look forward to when I return tomorrow. Then, Hazel Knits' October shipment should be here today, and the order I placed from Sanguine Gryphon (just a very small order) is also expected today, so I figured I'd better show you my zero points before those packages arrive. Well, really, they would all be zero points as Hazel Knits is Sock Club, Swap package is a finished object, and Sanguine's package is just 1 2 3 points.
Love the sweater yarn and I think it's hilarious how it doesn't count for yarnwatchers :-) Does that make it the 0 point vegetable WW equivalent? Do you have a pattern in mind for it yet?
