Vacation - on a stick

The family just returned from the Minnesota State Fair, likely 5 pounds heavier, each. Among those things eaten include:





Deep fried Oreos


Pronto Pups


Honey ice cream


French fries


Corn fritters


Pizza


Hot dogs


Smores


...and my uncle ate a deep fried Snickers bar.





Oof.





Since I was in the Twin Cities area, I availed myself of yarn shops...including the one set up temporarily by a group of area yarn shops in downtown St. Paul: Yarns for All. Pretty cool idea. I also hit Yarn Garage and Borealis Yarns (who are one of the shops in Yarns for All). So...I got 6 different sock yarns, and some worsted weight Dream in Color for a Clapotis.







Yummy!

Back to work with a vengeance tomorrow, I'm afraid. *sigh* In-house overnight call. Bleah.

But Wednesday is...my daughter's pre-school open house. She's such a big girl! Cool.
