ooooh, my day is double-made!

After getting up at 3 AM for work, working 8 hours, schlepping preschool paperwork around, picking up Silas for his 6-year check-up, having to put up with his post-flu-shot whining and fussing, listening to the kids bicker in the car all the way home, knowing Todd has class tonight so I'm on my own, I gave up on the thought of expending energy to make dinner, picked up a Pagliacci pizza and felt guilty about it, but then... a package on the porch! Always a happy sign. Inside was some lovely, soft chocolate-colored Plymouth wool from my new hero, Bonne Marie, as well as a pattern for her famous bucket hat! And no, dear readers, that is not all! I went to her site to download a banner and found she's giving up some love for the blog of yours truly! Wheeee! I feel like one of those cool knitting bloggers everyone knows & links to. Haha! I'll take my 15 minutes of bloggy fame, thank you kindly!
My day has improved mightily. Now, if I can get the kids to bed and get some serious knitting in, it will end very nicely indeed.
