Back to Work...Life...Etc.
I'm back at work. I went back yesterday, and boy did I drag through my short four hours of work. What a whimp! I had to run to the thrift store after work to find an outfit for Micaela for her cultural fair at school; they have to dress up like a part of their culture. So what do you do when you have about a million cultures to choose from your genetic makeup? Between the two of us (Bruce and I), we've got Swedish, Irish, English, German, Scottish, etc. I chose Bruce's Scottish side. I went looking for a "kilt-like" skirt and scored. I found a really neat blue and green kilt and a really sweet crocheted creme colored cap. I wish I could find a sash, but that might not be so easy. I'll see what I can find today. I also need to dig up a pin for her skirt. Where can I find one of those? It'll have to be something from home!
Here's a closeup of the cap and skirt fabric:
Now I've got to do a couple of loads of laundry to wash these things as they stink like the thrift store. The smell grosses us all out. Oh, and to get these cheap items, I had to blow $10, as they had a limit for credit card purchases. I was so ticked off! I had to walk around for a while looking for something I didn't want to buy. I hate that, but I couldn't give up on this find.
Chloe got her new girl scout uniform and goodies that Grandma Leslie got for her yesterday! I've got picks of everything that I'll share later when I have time to post more stuff!
