I Got A Job! :D

Hello, Beautiful Peoples!

Well, today I started my new job. I am working at a local grocery store in the Bakery Dept. The Bakery! Oh, but it smells sooooo loverly there! :D May God help me!!! For I am weak when tempted by loverly baked goods -- especially homemade bread/buns. Yum! Dream job...

Today I just went in for orientation and some informal testing. Tomorrow I begin -- and I'm guessing it will be busy. It's the first Tuesday of the month which means 10% discount day for shoppers, plus it is the week before our Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada. I tell ya, they're gonna baptize me by fire this week!

Overall, I am very excited -- mainly because I got a job, but also because it is something new and different. And for the most part it is weekdays during school hours. So that works out really great. My hubby can pick up my baby girl from school, help her with homework, and by that time, I'll be getting home. I may have to work the occasional Saturday. But I'll find out more about that tomorrow.

On the knitting front, I've been working on a new scarf -- a lacy one. But I think I'm gonna frog it and start something different. Mainly because the colour of the wool is a dark chocolatey brown. It's the Cotswold I spun up before returning the wheel to the Guild. After I spun it up, I wasn't sure how nicely it would knit. I was pleasantly surprised -- it's quite lovely to work with and I don't think it will be too itchy. Perhaps I'll keep working on it ... but the pattern doesn't show up very well. I think I'll pick a different lacy pattern and use 4mm needles rather than 5mm. The stitches don't seem to be as tight as the picture looks. Maybe it will be different after I block it. Hmmmmmm....decisions, decisions, decisions.

Better go feed the brood! Thanks for stopping by. And please people, please post a hello -- I'm feeling like nobody reads this blog. Well except for Ann (thank you Ann for always posting a comment -- it really makes my day!!!!! The rest of you...please, make me feel loved!)
