I need to leave to catch my bus, otherwise I’d include all the pics here.
Most of them are over in the gallery.

here’s me and Stephanie:
Stephanie Pearl-McPhee and me
Thanks to Stephania for jumping the chairs and taking the pic for me.

Sidenote: I normally wear things that blend in - aka neutrals or blues. In my haste to get to work ontime and still get everything needed for the weekend into my car, I completely forgot that a) I froze on the way to work the previous day and therefore b) I should take a sweatshirt or jacket with me. thankfully, our marketing genius at work ordered all of us these lovely pink hoodies. which most of us - me included - leave at work and wear when the AC gets to be a bit much. so with great forethought, I took that with me on my way out of work. if I could actually get a sweater for myself beyond the I-have-the-pattern-and-yarn stage, I might have taken/worn that. but alas, knitting for myself never/rarely happens. perhaps that should be my new years resolution next year). on the plus side (is it a plus side?), it makes it rather easy to find me in other people’s pics.

in other news, I’ve learned I should listen to my inner knitter and not 5 & 6 year olds. more on that tomorrow.
