Foolish mortals

I knew immediately when I got up this morning that it was going to be a miserable day. It was gray outside and it was rainy. Although it wasn't raining when I got up to check the weather, I was sure it was going to rain as soon as I stepped outside. So, surely enough, I went outside and it began to rain. I dragged my feet over to my friend's place and thought only of the fun we were going to have making cinnamon rolls and then heading out to Target. Well, I guess we weren't the only ones that thought that would be the only thing you can do on a day like this. 


But anyway, we had cinnamon rolls and played 20 questions. Another friend was going to return it because it was a single game, not meant for more people. So we played it to make sure it wasn't any kind of fun. It was fun, it just didn't work right. We thought tea, it told us soda. And after some awkward pick up lines like Does it get wet? Does it get hot? Does it get hard? It guessed coffee. OK, not winning here. So we thought, give it a second chance. Condoms, it didn't guess that either, it thought dental floss. Back you go, no good...


At target all I needed was 2 toys, I knew exactly which ones I wanted. But everyone wanted toys. Everyone. I couldn't find anything I needed. But finally I got some Legos and I clung on to them for dear life! Some woman reached in and grabbed one from right under my hand because she wanted it so desperately. Finally back home and I decided, no more moving. So I took my blanket, my computer, my knitting stuff, and pulled up my stockings and reading glasses to make some socks for my granddaughter.... Every time I knit I feel like an old lady...
