No, I am not a hooker (although, I can see how that might be your first guess! ;) ), I work in Municipal Recreation and today was Diva Day (the outfit I am wearing is not my regular work-wear -- but I probably should wear it everyday based on the number of "Love your outfit" coomments I got today -- of course most of them were from 6 year old girls! ~ Edit: in case you are wondering, the outfit is "cheetah" print, right down to the last detail - headband, waist scarf, babydoll top and 3 inch platform shoes. And I went to the grocery store on my way home from Diva Day -- I hope no-one I knew saw me! And if they did, I'm sure they thought I was Mariah Carey or Paris Hilton! heheh!)
Diva Day is a day we plan for little girls aged 5 - 8 years in which we treat them like a diva for a day -- we go for all the girlie stuff (on-site hairstylist, manicures, makeup, glitsy glam crafts, make your own BLING bracelets, and a decadent strawberry shortcake tea party.) We all dress in our "Diva Finest" -- glitz, bling, and showy all the way baby -- and have a blast with these little darlings! This is one of the reasons I love my job! (It doesn't get any better than this!)
Edit: I have a knitting enabler ... I sent T to the LYS to remedy the knot problem I encountered with my SP4 pals socks (btw, my finger is still sore to type with, but I am suffering on in spite of the pain!) and he came home without the yarn I needed === but he did come home with these
none of which look like the yarn I sent him for. He tells me they are out of the colour I need (will be in a week from Monday) and that he couldn't come home empty handed from a visit to a yarn store with me expecting to get yarn. Even though the yarn I got isn't what I expected -- I wasn't expecting anything since what I needed isn't in stock!
FYI the Fabel is colour 671, and the Austermann is colour 07 (which looks nothing like the picture in the colour chart!)I got me a keeper, ladies == and , no, I don't share!

Sounds like fun! I had a use-turkey-baster-and-roll-of-paper-towel-to-clean-up-flim-bleach-mess day. Friday the 13th it was! Then it was filling all of the chemicals in the film machine. By myself. (Even though someone who's name starts with a K offered to help but didn't.)
Are you going to Have a Yarn tomorrow? I have to work 9-4 since Jess can't work tomorrow. That sucks, hope it isn't too slow. Going to take my Sockapalooza socks to work on.
Sounds like a wonderful day. Although, I think you need a big fab hat for that outfit. ;^)
Is that the brighter green Austerman? Not the same you already had. If so, that's the one I have. I may make Belle Maman socks (like my Sockpal's socks).
Fun, fun, fun!!!! (And you look super-cute!)
Good hubby, good hubby! He gets a cookie or something, right? He should totally get a cookie. Or a cupcake.
What fun. I know my youngest would love a day like that at parks and rec. And lucky, lucky you, my hubby would have come back with nothing, relieved he didn't have to add to my yarn stash.
What a lovely idea! OMG my hubby would never go look for yarn! LOL
What a fun day! The kids must have had a ball.
Hope your finger is well enough to knit by now!
