The Herpes of Craft Supplies

I got up yesterday morning, ready to get prepared for the neighborhood party we were hosting later and in the mirror I saw on my shoulder a glit.  Is that a word?   What's the singular form of glitter?  Was there, "a glitter" on my shoulder?  Saying there "is glitter" on my shoulder could mean  a full covering or just one little spec.  Well bother, I don't know.  In any case, there was one of them.  And it was on my shoulder. 

I don't employ glitter makeup.  I thought back and hadn't gotten a glitter-laden card from anyone in the mail in a long time.  And most certainly, I hadn't gone to sleep with glitter containers with slightly loose lids.  So where did it come from?  I don't know. 

Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies though, once you have it, you're never really free from it.

The Big Boy Update:  First day of school.  It was registration day with students and parents spending time in the classroom together.  He touched, I believe, every single thing in the classroom.  He played with all the things.  Washed his hands several times with help, visited the guinea pig, Coconut, multiple times, swept the floor at length including under the tables, carried a six-pound medicine ball around quite a lot and generally had a great time interacting with things and people.  Tomorrow is the first day he goes for real school.  One hour for the first day or two.  If today was any indication, he's going to like school a lot.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  Snot.  She has a lot.  She's on antibiotics, but it's not yet helping.  She dislikes having the nasal aspirator help with the snot.  LOUDLY dislikes..

Fitness Update:  New belt?  I don't really want a more advanced, feature-filled running belt.  But this running of longer distances has made me want or need additional things on my person during a run.  My neighbor and I ran our eight mile run this morning and talked about longer distances for half-marathon training.  These belts can hold mini water bottles and little packets of "goo" for energy boosts during a run.  But I loath to run more gear.  For now, I got us a sample of the goo packets to see if they work when we get into a long run and I'm just going to cram it into the single pouch on the little belt I have now.
