After a not-so-great weekend, I worked a 13 hour day yesterday. I worked all day until I picked up the kids, took Gianna out for hot chocolate, went to their school for an academic team meet, watched that for 1/2 hour and headed back for night class. Sheesh… I didn’t eat supper til after 9pm! I’m gonna lose weight on Mondays that’s for sure.
Today I was up early to take DJ to 7am academic team practice at one school. I then picked him up and took him to math at the high school…. picked Gianna up from home and took her to school. Since I had 3 cups of coffee in me and had already showered for the day, I headed back to work myself.
Fortunately, I have no classes on Tuesday. 
I attended my meetings, made my phone calls, answered email and took off by lunch time. I headed to Aldi to pick up fruits and vegies and then to Goodwill to see if I could score some cashmere.
And I did.
Not one, not two, but three cashmere sweaters BABY!
Hence the title of this post, Terrific Tuesday. It doesn’t take much to make my day terrific, now does it?
The top left purple sweater is a Lands End Size Small. It may fit my sister as is. I won’t unravel it until she tells me if she wants it to wear. It was $6.99 instead of the regular $3.49. Someone spotted the tag and marked up the price. They had it showcased with an outfit. I also spotted the tag and took it off the showcase. $6.99 is still a good price for a cashmere sweater.
The top right pink sweater may be felted. I can’t tell. It’s awfully fuzzy. I’ll start with a sleeve and if I can’t unravel it, I may try dyeing it making a pillow out of it. Or something. Not sure… It has a tear in the neckline and I tried to get more money off, but they wouldn’t take anything additional. $3.49 – good deal.
The bottom one is interesting. It’s a khaki color and knit in a 1 x 1 rib. I think there’s a lot of yarn there. I also think the yarn looks slightly thicker. Maybe it’s not but the rib stitch makes it look thicker. That one may actually fit me too. I may wear it a time or two before deciding if I’m going to take it apart. $3.49
I also got two work shirts for my hubby. He has long arms and is wearing XL shirts even though he’s a medium to large in size. I found large LONG shirts for him. They are in the wash now. $3.49 each. We just went to Kohl’s this weekend and picked up two new work shirts for around $20 each. Goodwill has spoiled me for shopping even the sales at other stores!
Okay, back to work for me. I can work from home the rest of the afternoon. I have some grading and lecture prep to do. It would be nice if I could multitask and take a nap at the same time. No? Darn…
Good deals galore! I’ll try the small sweater out, for sure. Everyone needs to wear cashmere; especially, at $6.99! Going to GW here in Alabama on Saturday. Only one store in this area and it closes at 5pm on weekdays and closed on Sundays.
