I haven't updated my blog.
Work has taken all the energy I have - I just want to sit and do much of nothing. I haven't even done my knitting. And my shawl is so close to being done! I will try and get back to posting tomorrow. Time for bed.

Fun Day!
What a fun day I had...I have lived here all my life and have never really gone to Georgetown! Well today I went with one of my daughters. We took Metro to Union Station - nope, never been there either! We did not stay there very long, I wanted to get to Georgetown. We hopped on one of those new DC connector buses, nice bus and only $1.00. We got off on Wisconsin and M Street. I had to go into Lush - I have been wanting to check that store out ever since my oldest daughter told me about it and brought me a couple of bath bombs. We smelled all the wonderful soaps, and creams. I ended up buying soap bar for hair made special just for hard water! Having well water recks havoc on my hair - never looks nice. Had to get a bar of soap and of course a couple of bath bombs.
We had lunch at Le Madelines - very good wild greens with chicken salad. We resisted the baked goodies - let my tell you, not easy! Off and walking again, we ooo'd and ahhh'd at many things in windows. I really wanted to go to the tattoo shop there - I am excited now - I saw a tat very close to one I want! Yay! There is about 4 I have in mind, but I need a jumping off point. I found at least one - I want to have one done on the small of my back to commemorate my children. I want three hearts, with a design on either side. Well, they have one there that has one heart with the perfect design! I need to find out if they can change it and incorporate two more hearts. Now I need to find a fairy sitting on a crescent moon and a dreamcatcher with a wolf and an eagle (to commemorate my husband).
After the tat shop, we found Stitch DC - nice place, love the yarn! I will be back.
I guess I should have mentioned even before we got on Metro, we had to make a stop at AC Moore for some yarn. I purchased 6 skeins of Homespun for a sweater and another skein for a bag.
Well, this is it for me today - at least I got something related to knitting in!
