Oh.  My.  Gosh.  I won!  I won, and I didn’t even know there was something to be won! 

Check it out!

 Yesterday was Mrs. R’s last day.  She does a job share with Mrs. C, each teaching part of the school year.  She was embarrassed, but I talked her into a picture with Thing One at the end of the day.  We gave her a gift card to a clothing store where she likes to shop as her “year-end” present, and she seemed pretty happy about it. 

Now that she’s not Thing One’s teacher any more and she’s “just” my friend, another mom from school, here goes:  Hi, Lisa!  Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!  Hee, hee!  (Lisa, I know you’re out there lurking.  Hope you enjoyed that.)

Should be interesting to see how it goes with Mrs. C.  She’s definitely more “old school” — if they break a rule, they have to write out the rule five times, etc.  Sounds good to me!

 Oooh!  New fonts.  Gotta try ‘em out!

Anyhow, the chances of Linda reading this before I drop by her house tonight with her bday gift are pretty slim, so here’s the pic of her wristwarmers.  Merino wool.  Microfiber.  Cashmere.  Mmmmmmmm, yummy!  It will be hard to give these babies away.

There ought to be another f.o. pic, but I just realized I never took a picture of the purple wristwarmers.  Oops.  Sorry.  Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in Hyacinth, also in a 2×1 rib like these ones.  I was going to keep them for myself, but the color kept reminding me of Mrs. B. from school (PTA mom, yard duty, library lady, etc.), so today I gave them to her.
