Well, Misha...you made that an easy decision for us!

IHOP's it is!

Do you think we'll have enough time if we start breakfast at 8:00?

I've never been in there that early, so I'm not sure how busy they are. But I've been in there when it's been fairly busy at dinner, and they do turn orders over fairly quickly. And it's only maybe a 5 min. drive (with traffic) from there to the Ag Center. Oh--they're also used to seeing someone sitting in there, knitting....

Cool!

I think a nice breakfast at IHOP will be a PERFECT way to start the day for the fiber fair!

I'm getting REALLY excited. It gets closer and closer every day!

As you all know, I'm taking two classes that Saturday, so the only time I'll have available for browsing and buying yarn will be in the middle of the day. So, I'm taking a bag lunch.

I haven't decided for sure if I'm going on Friday or not. It depends on our budget, and my schedule at home. So, I may or may not be staying overnight on Friday. Time will tell.

Whew! It's' a 3 hour drive for me. So I'm gonna be hungry! I'll just have to leave before 5:00am. Can we get an address for the IHOP so I can mapquest it? I found some other kitters that are going from Concord. It's going to be a great time.

I looked online, but couldn't figure it out. Maybe Misha RF will know.

Woohoo! IHOP to get the day started. Love it! I'm not sure if I can do dinner Friday, but will keep it in mind.

I'm not sure what my transportation situation is for SAFF. I'm sure I'll be car pooling with some friends and family. I think I can swing a dinner or breakfast though.

Also, I got the confirmation for my classes. I'll be taking Spinning next steps Sat 2-6 and Spinning the long & short of it Sun 9-1. I'll be there shopping all day Friday, Sat morning, and maybe Sun afternoon.

Am I the only one who has already started a shopping list? It's less than 74 days away...

I'll have more definite plans as the day gets closer. Also, I'll give you my cel # Carolina Red if you want it.

Way cool! We'll trade numbers in a PM.

SAFF is NEXT MONTH!!

i have some really great news, some not so great news, and some more great news.

the really great - I HAVE A JOB!!!! here's my unintentionally long post with the details.

the not so - i've decided that it would be best for my wallet (when i say wallet, i mean bills

) if i don't go to SAFF this year. i'll be going to the highland games in red springs the first weekend of october right after i get paid. i haven't been in a few years, and i've really missed it. i just really connect with all that stuff. ya gotta love yer history!!!

the great - now i can start saving for next year!

the more great - i've decided to start dying. everybody's gotta go sometime, right?

there are some christmas presents i want to dye. hand knitting a gift is special, but dying the yarn yourself before you knit it makes it even more special. i've even got my practice yarn and kool-aid ready to go.

now i just need some time alone without my mom in the house and other "must-do"s hanging over my head.
