My Little Piece of The Net

I was going to order yarn from Knitpicks but I thought I would give Joanne's a try before I did the only ordering thing. I ended up finding all the needles I needed and even the Sport weight yarn in the colors I wanted. -=does a dance=- I'll cast them on as soon as I am done with the Calorimetry. I like only having one thing on the needles at a time. Multiple projects tends to overwhelm me and I then I don't finish them. I do need to get them started though. Lifetime of Learning-Along has started and here's the host without her project. So that's it for the knitting front. I do still plan on placing an order with Knitpicks. I can not let the Lingerie book slip through my fingers for $14.00. It's usually like $30.00, and we all know that I adore knitted lingerie. -=giggle=-

Here's an overview of the weekend. Friday night my character in Ace's & Eights almost drowned. She fell off her horse in the river and doesn't know how to swim. For that matter all of us nearly drowned. Much fun was had by all but we had to go home early. We forgot the poker chips which we need to go through the chase scene. I know I am a dork. Shhh don't tell! The rest of Friday was spent hanging out around the house and doing misc. things.

I woke up Saturday and went to the Village wide garage sale in the area. I walked around for about 2 hours and spent around $6.00 to $7.00. I got 2 DVDs (Chicago & Resident Evil), 5 Videos (Thelma & Louis, Beaches, Pretty Woman, Chocolat and The 1st Wives Club), a western novel for Grim and a pitcher and 4 cup set. I made out like a bandit. A sunburned one. -=giggle=- The back of my neck and shoulders are bright red. -=giggle=- Oh well, it was nice to get some exercise. Dropped by Pounce's house and chatted with her for a while then went hope. Nap, then grocery shopping. Food in the house is always a wonderful thing. -=giggle=-

Today, I had to work for 3 hours then I got called back in and worked for another hour. Not a fun time. That's about it. I think I am done for now.

Talk to you soon!

That's right. Another Calorimetry. I seem to love these things a little too much. At present though I can only knit little things. I have to get another set of circular needles for the bathing suit. I need more yarn for my bag. I have the yarn for socks but not the needles. -=giggle=- So a calorimetry it is. I figured I would make a black one that matched the poncho I am going to be wearing a lot in the fall.

Today was a nice day. I did a couple of things I wanted to do this morning. I started on the new HP book and made it to Chapter 7 before we had to leave for my mom's house. Her boyfriend is leaving for Afghanistan next Friday (he's a load master for the Air Force). So we thought we would go and see him before he leaves. We went to an awesome Mexican place and had a wonderful time. Tonight we rented True Crimes: Streets of NY (video game) for Grim and "The Covenant" for myself. Not a bad movie... for a teen magic movie. I mean the guys were total eye candy and they happened to have powers kind of movie. -=giggle=- I tend to like those cheesy movies though so I started the Calorimetry and watch it while Grim played on the computer.

Now I am taking a break from it to blog and possible dive back into the HP book. I don't know though. It's already 3 in the morning and if I start reading I doubt I'll stop. This wouldn't be a bad thing if we didn't have to go visit Grim's family tomorrow. It's alright though, HP will be accompanying me on the journey. -=giggle=-

Speaking of which, take a look at Death Eaters on this site. I WANT IT! I WANT IT! Okay I am done now.

I think that's about it really. I'll post pictures of the new Calorimetry when it's finished.

Night night all
