What better way to survive the crashing stock market and the complete abdication of responsibility of our biggest financial institutions than to indulge in a little retail therapy? Well, 2 days before payday, I can't spend a dime, but here is a great way to window shop for a new bag and hey, they're having a give-away and why not you? Or me? I found one I like.
If outdoor equipment is more your style, this weekend is Texas Parks and Wildlife Expo. That's where I'll be. ALL weekend. It's a long weekend but it's a great party that we throw and if you are in Central Texas and have kids, you must come some time during the 2 day event. Did I mention it's FREE? Just bring money for food, sunscreen, maybe a hat and a camera cuz you won't believe all the fun stuff there is for your kids to try. Look for me. I am still trying to wrangle a Blackberry or iphone in order to twitter the whole event.
PTA has kept me really busy, but I am hoping to get to Kid N Ewe in November. Anyone else going? Maybe we can have a small gathering, I don't think I can handle organizing something big. I am starting to get some serious sweater fever - need new ones - have yarn, need time. Now need rest, busy week, this one.
I'm very sad because I don't think I'm going to be able to make Kid n Ewe this year . . . I was SO looking forward to it, too. :(

Thanks for mentioning the Expo - adding it to my Upcoming.org stream and I'm going to try to make it out there this weekend. Sounds like a blast! I'll have my PDA phone with me so if you see me you can snag a tweet or two. :D
Probably not hitting up K&E this year - it was kind of disappointing last year and I've still got too much stash to really need to spend the gas money.

All you need is a cell phone and the ability to send text messages in order to Twitter at Expo.

I'll be going to Kid n Ewe this year. Sounds like lots of fun! :)

I wish I was going to be at Kid n Ewe this year - I'll be celebrating and photographing the wedding of the daughter of one of the owners of Twisted Yarns. At least I'll be surrounded by knitters! I leave that Sunday for a workshop in Mexico.
I *will* be coming to Austin soon-ish, and I *will* be visiting you. I must. I simply MUST.
