For the love of knit jersey...

If you are keeping up, you know I wore a black suit yesterday - pants suit...

Well, I got word that "Sparkles" (the local indoor inflatable jumping-gym place) was open to the public on Tuesdays and your whole brood could be admitted for the low low price of $5. So, I truck on over to Sparkles after picking up C & C Music Factory from daycare, pay the $5 (plus another one b/c we needed to purchase socks since it's summer and we were all in sandals) I put my own cute little white gym socks on (with my slightly-too-long pants - which is why I was wearing the super-high heels yesterday) and jump - in my suit pants - in the bouncy house with my kidlets. GOOD TIMES!

Then, we headed to Zaxby's. I order:
JJ: "Three kiddie fingerz meals, please..."
Chicka: "Will that be all?"
JJ: "Yeah, three kiddie fingerz."
Chicka: "OK, your total is $3.18."
(ADMISSION: I suck at math, which is why I'm a lawyer, but I'm pretty sure that 3 kiddie meals @ $3+ each is more than $3.18...)
JJ: "No. I need THREE kiddie meals."
Chicka: "I got it. Three meals is $3.18."
???
Chicka: "OH! You didn't know...tonight is $0.99 kids meal night."

WOO HOO!!!! Can you believe my luck?!?!?

So anyway - it was a good evening. But I stayed up too late...after I got the kids in bed (finally!!! at 9pm!!!) I read my book, had a glass of wine, and took a shower and suddenly it was midnight? How did that happen?

So today, because I neglected to iron anything to wear to court this morning (I'm on strike from all domestic work...by the way), I pull out my old standdby favorite dress. Short flutter sleeve black w/ white print knit jersey wrap dress. Max Studio. I have 4 - yes, 4 - of these Max Studio knit jersey dresses (different prints...). No panty hose required, throw on a shortish black linen jacket and some cute heeled sandals...fab-o...

My house really needs to be cleaned. If I had a spare $60, I'd call Yolanda...sigh. Being on strike is nice, except for the consequences...alas.
