I was bound and determined to finish my shawl today, so I started on it again this morning. Then I got word from the Christian Bookstore that a book I had ordered was in. So, after lunch I made a trip to pick the book up. It may be the book we do as a ladies' Bible study in our monthly meetings. While there I always check their clearance area. Well, I hit the jackpot today! I saved $536.65! Everything I got was marked 90% off! I was able to pick up several things for birthdays for the grandkids! Tim was sticker-shocked when he saw how much I saved! He said, "so, how much did you have to spend to save that much?" The answer is $78.96.....$15 of it being for the book I had ordered, which was a savings of $5 for it, too! :D So, I think I did pretty good! I just have to store the gifts someplace where I won't forget about them! If I do, there is always Christmas!
After returning from the store, the neighbor needed to go to the bank and Walmart, so I was gone for a couple of hours with that trip. Not too long after that I had to start working on supper.
I said all of that to say that I didn't get my shawl finished today like I wanted to. I'm going to knit on it some more tonight after I'm done here, so I may still get it done. We shall see.
