Yarn

I'm allergic to wool.  I don't have much money to spend on clothes/materials so I tend to knit with acrylic.  I know that makes "real" knitters sigh, but it works for me.  I don't really like Red Heart, but Simply Soft seemed good.  Now I don't think so.  I'm using it for a lacy knit so it's going to be okay, but one skein is loaded with slubs.  I found the same thing when I was knitting the sweater I have on now.  Five skeins good, one loaded with slubs.  I thought it was an anomaly but now it seems like a pattern.  Boo.

Kids say the nicest things

So keep in mind that I have choir rehearsal on Thursday nights and haven't come home after work on Thursday in, like, two years.
My son called me just after 5 to ask if I could get him some Taco Bell.  I agreed and we talked about what he wanted.  Suddenly he said "Oh!  It's Thursday!"  I then said "That's alright, I don't have choir tonight" thinking he knew I wasn't coming home.  Oh no.  What was I thinking?  He says "No, I just realized I haven't watched The Office in four weeks."
