WEEKEND FUN
Rob actually had a weekend off! So Thursday evening, Jan 11th Mom and I drove down and kidnapped him. Friday I had made these plans for things to do and get done, but none of it happened. Rob just wanted to spend his day off relaxing and being together.
That evening I was schedule to go for my sleep study, but when I got there I was told the overnight Technician was ill. So I had to quickly reschedule while the tech from the previous shift pushed me out the door and locked up so she could go home.
This made Rob very happy because it meant more time together and it meant we could leave a lot earlier on our road trip the next day.
Saturday Mom, Rob and I drove out to Monroe, MI to CRAFTS 2000 .This is a huge Mega craft store. I had gift certificate from Christmas I wanted to use and they have great prices. I’ve been there twice with Rob and bought quite a bit of jewelry & beading supplies. This time I bought more jewelry supply and some yarn. I got a Knifty Knitter for my birthday and had yet to use it. I was trying to hit the bead and yarn areas and then do a quick tour of the rest of the store (which still takes hours) but Rob dragged me back to the “DEEP DISCOUNT” corner of the store, stuff like;$2 hoodies, $0.50 t-shirts, a box 30 votivecandles for $6 and a corner off section with about 20-30 bins. At 1st glance it looked like assorted junk but there was a cashier and “guard” in this are handing out big plastic grocery bags saying fill the bag no matter how much $5. We went around once just looking through all the bins to see if it was worth it, then went back around 2nd time and stuffed the bag to like 15 lbs. There was about 6 bins that were jewelry hardware stuff, also picked up some candles and other odd and end items. Rob paid for the bag and had to carry it because it was too heavy for me. I also spent $35 ($25 gift certificate and $10 cash) on alotta glass beads, some yarn and candy. They had prepackaged Sugar Free Jelly Belly’s and Gummy Bears for less than $2 (only $1.50 for regular ones). The Sugar Free ones cost almost $4 at our local grocery store. So I bought some Sugar Free for me and regular for Rob.
Afterwards we drove Rob back home, He had to work early Sunday morning, though he would have much preferred to come back with us. It was a very fun trip, it’s gonna take me forever to sort out the “junk” bag. 
Sunday Jan 14th I found the Provo Craft website the producers of the Knifty Knitter, they have a web clip showing how to use the Knitter, since it doesn’t come with much instruction. Now I seem to have got the hang of it and got about half a scarf done. It’s made from furry/ textured yarn and I’m trying to make stripes. I’m using 2 yarns one that is multi pinks and one that is multi blues. This scarf is for Rob’s younger niece.
