Sunday morning I rolled over and picked up my iPhone, blearily going through my phone messages and I see a message from my friend in France. I had sent her a message Friday after I made all of my train reservations, telling her when we would be arriving in Beaune. Alas .... she pointed out to me that I had the wrong date! Now let me tell you a little something about how I organize a trip. I have a spreadsheet and I meticulously check and re-check my dates and reservations. However. However after checking it seems that I not only reserved the wrong dates for that train but also the NIGHT TRAIN! Oh my god. The night train from Dijon to Milan which costs a fortune. I have reserved the wrong date. *sigh* Well I just couldn't face it on Sunday plus I have all of my records here on my desktop so today after I get a couple of fires put out I've got to dig in and fix this mess. AND double check all of my other reservations. I don't know what was wrong with me? Where did I go wrong? I didn't double check before I clicked the button is where I went wrong. And why? Because I am SO sure I'm doing it right. I never make mistakes. Hah! I made a doozy this time and it could end up costing me quite a bit - money and pride.
It was a relatively quiet and relaxing weekend. Saturday we went back to the outlet mall in North Bend so Ben could exchange his brief case/messenger bag and I had my little income tax refund I was keen on spending. He got his bag and I? I found a most beautiful and gorgeous and irresistible bag at the Coach store. Not a made for the factory store bag, but one that came from the retail outlet. 50% off and I couldn't resist. So I bought it. Love love love.
The stole was finished Saturday night and I decided that I would start the lace front cardigan which is a free pattern from Cascade that Monika made last year. I bought yarn specifically for it, although not the cotton blend but a cashmere blend. Same weight but much more beautiful. I wound the balls and cast on and started while the ProBowl was on yesterday. I'm well into the sleeve increases. I haven't made a garment in a long while so I'm quite excited about this.
And so the week begins. Thirty-one weeks until I retire.
