The best laid plans

[smeddley]

I was going to donate blood at lunch. Sadly, the shirt I grabbed this morning won't push up past my elbows, so that's out. Then I was going to do it tomorrow, but I have a utility meeting. Maybe I can still squeeze it in, I dunno.

Then I was going to sit in my office, listen to my book on tape, and knit. Then my hubby called to tell me he'd broken his watch.

Now I'm heading out to buy him a new watch, and I just know - I know - I'm going to end up buying things I shouldn't. I'm jonesing for yarn, and I haven't even made a dent in the stuff I have (I used up 3 skeins, but had to buy one of those, then bought 4 more, so technically I'm [-2] [+1] [-1] [+4] = [+2] so far. Quick, what's a fast and easy way to use up two skeins of yarn?!)

And I have a million things to do at work and don't want to do any of them, instead all I can think about is all the stuff I could be doing at home (NOTE TO SELF: don't forget to clean out the over before baking the chicken tonight). Though if I were at home, it's pretty doubtful I'd be doing any of that, either.

Oh, e-mail posting is going to be dangerous. :/

Ugh, donating blood. I can't do that ... unless I'm allowed to hold a purse while I'm being weighed. Sigh. Well, I can give half a pint, but they don't do that at blood drives usually.

Yarn, yay :D I don't know though lol.

Don't make me hurt you... I've never been under the weight limit! I don't think I could even get close. :P

I avoided buying yarn, but did pick up a pair of clearance knitting needles. :)

Aww. Well, just today I got taken for a kid, so it's not precisely a good thing. How am I ever going to find a guy/anyone if everyone thinks I'm freaking 12 years old?

Grins. Yay for clearance stuff. I bought a cross stitch pattern for $2 the other day, though it wasn't a kit -- just the pattern. Not that bad for the price though.

Give them to a cat.

Ha! That would probably work, only I don't have a cat. The dog is supremely uninterested in anything that doesn't squeak!

not that you need more project ideas.... but the "squeaky" in squeaky toys can be removed and added to other things...

Set them on fire!

Hey, I'm sitting at home and all I can think about is the stuff I SHOULD be doing at home. ;)

Good luck resisting the buying impulse!

And I know if I did go home that's all I'd be doing. I'm just not motivated to get off my butt and do anything!
