casting on road trip

well i'm headed out on a car trip to western colorado with my mom this "weekend" (when work schedules you to work on the actual weekend and gives you other days off you just go with it right? just makes it confusing when you talk to the rest of the world.) anyway... headed up around abouts of steamboat. theres supposed to be a pretty drive between meeker and yampa apparently. who would have known? and maybe it will be a bit cooler too. i've heard the wildflowers are gorgeous right now. maybe i'll be able to take some good photos. and since i'll be stuck in the car for hours i'm planning to cast on for bad penny with my peachy caramia see stash below and maybe i'll cast on honeymoon as well. i think it would be pretty in the candy blue cottonease i picked up at the insanely marked down clearance at joann the other day. i love clearance yarn. you feel like you could buy the whole store sometimes :)

Yep, that is true. Re: jumping in on the bandwagon late. Did you ever recast on for Tempting? Just wondering. Will you be doing a contrast color for Bad Penny at the top and bottom of it? If so, what color? Something variegated would be really cute as an accent color? I do like the Bad Penny pattern.

what do you do

with a beautiful day off? well we went for a "scent"ic drive out to the beach. we being the dog. and me. she loves to stick her nose out the window and smell where we are going. we took a few lonely roads. ok, so maybe like 10 little roads. i make turns at random when i'm not in a hurry. and can you blame me? just check out the view! it really was spectacular. i would love to live out this way! we finally arrived at north beach in point reyes national seashore. they have a few beaches where leashed pets are allowed. i snacked on a quick lunch of tomatoes, figs, raisins, and almonds (from the farmer's market again) then we headed down to the water. my baby is 12 and she's never seen the ocean. i must be a terrible mother or something. she was just staring and staring. she couldn't get enough. after repeatedly chasing and running away from the waves for a half an hour she was content to just sit back and relax on a dune. and then she stood and told me it was ti...

it's a sad day

for starbucks when a great manager resigns because he's getting too much crap from his boss. a shitton of crap from the guys upstairs and not a whole lot of help. we like to try to set our team up for success. but we don't try to set them up for failure. and that is what has been happening! i'm probably gonna hear something 'cause i'm posting this but it's got to be said. since april i've been working in the second busiest store in central florida. until recently we were beating out all the others in our district. this means we have to work hard. really hard. just to keep up. forget about getting ahead. keeping things shiny clean? no way. shoot for passable. cause you can't really do much else. there's not enough time it is impossible to stay on top. when you're understaffed. when you can't get labor hours. when you have only 2 team members in the store for 2 hours at a time! you barely get things done. and the bosse's boss. well she laid...
