Well, with regard to yesterday's post about my hoped-for schedule this semester, I might have gotten my wish! I hope it doesn't turn out to be a case of "be careful what you wish for." Today is my first day. Fingers crossed!
Abigail had a very exciting day of work, too. Who knows when down the line I can actually tell you about it. (Don't you love people who drop big teasers like that?)
And I kicked back and knitted some lovely, super-soft 8-ply Aran-weight cashmere on big needles. 
Yes, it was a very good day, indeed.
Wow, all that and knitting too? You must be pinching yourself :)

It's Twinkletoes's first day of school today, too. I'm betting you didn't wear flowery leggings with your short-sleeved dress, though. She totally didn't match but it looked oddly cute....
I'm too old to look oddly cute. I do, however, have the odd part down pat. ;-)
Have fun, sweetie!

That Aran cashmere looks sinfully yummy. Mmmm. What might it be when it grows up? You will disclose all in time, I am sure.
Yay for good days!

WooHoo!
Good luck! I hope you get someone cute to carry your stuff for you. Love the knitting!

Cashmere! Looks like a scarf, possibly reversible? Mmmm. That sounds heavenly. :-)

Good for you with the new semester. I hope the schedule and all works out for you.

I'm a bit late, but good luck, good luck, good luck! Tfoo, tfoo, tfoo! (Russian "spitting" over the left shoulder for good luck.)

Well??
How was your first day?
(putting a peach and a glass of water in front of you)
(Instead of the more traditional cookie and milk)
(which is really bad for you)
(and if you eat the peach and drink the water, you will be happy)
(and healthy)
(and healthy IS happy)
(just eat it and shut up)

Yes! No dropping constant hints! You're in with Cara - put a bug in Miss Constant Hints' ear about that. Ha.
