Busy Start To A 3 Day Weekend

Woke up, cleaned up the house a bit, then mom & dad came over and dad helped me lay the tile in my foyer. So, that's all set and will be ready to grout tomorrow, but I don't think I'll get to it until Monday or so. I dunno, maybe I'll go for it Sunday.


After that, I did a bit more about the house and then headed to Scott's. We had dinner, ran a few errands, and then I finished knitting the doughnut. It's not sewn or stuffed yet, so I haven't got any pictures, but maybe I'll take some by Sunday.

Other than that, I got nothin.

A List

  • I might get to see the kids I grew up with on Saturday!!! We're talking of having a street reunion!
  • Work today was good. Accomplished a lot before the system went down and I couldn't finish my list. But, it meant I got to leave earlier than expected.
  • I like DPNs better than magic loop. But I need metal DPNs.
  • I have the world's cutest dog.
  • Night time.

OMG. I have to post again.

LOOK AT THIS SUPER EXCITING NEWS:

Not only does iTunes call me "New & Notable" - but I am number FOURTEEN on the list of top audio podcasts in the "hobbies" category! Can you believe that? I'm up there with all the super great and awesome podcasts! EEP!

DPNs

I've done it. I have taken the leap and started a project with double pointed needles. It will be a doughnut when it grows up. But now, it's just strange looking:

Maybe it'll be done by tomorrow night. That'd be neat.

Refocus.

I spent a lot of tonight trying not to think about last night. I got lucky, and had some help at this. We went to see John Legend at the Fox Theater. It was fabulous. India.Arie was supposed to be the opener, but she was sick - which was heart breaking. Because I loooove her.


But, it was a good show anyway.

Tomorrow starts deadline at work again. That should be a nice distraction as well.

Another No.

I didn't get the graphic design position at that company that's been stringing me along since last November. I should have known I wouldn't. It would have been better had they never called me back.


My entire world crumbled tonight, and I'm quite sure that there's no happy way to fix this.

I feel like puking.

Productive Sunday!

Today has been a very big day for me. I got up at a decent hour and started in on the laundry. I got a total of 4 loads done today. I also started to clean other parts of Scott's house. Namely the kitchen. I scrubbed the inside of the fridge down, taking out all the shelves and drawers to clean them, and got all the dishes done. Then I dropped Scott off at kickball and went to Target to get a few key needs. Ended up getting an awesome wallet too. When I get everything in it, I'll take pictures so that you can see it's happiness.


Wanted to get a hula-hoop, a la Meghan from Stitch It, but they were out. So, I'll go to the other Target tomorrow and get one.

After Target, I went back to the park to get Scott, but managed to only spend an hour in Target instead of two like I'd thought, so I was early. I watched his 2nd game while knitting more on the scarf, which is really growing now!

Tonight, I did freelance (yay!) and we watched part of a TV series a friend lent me. It's gotten cooler out, so we also took a walk to Starbucks and back, which Paisley much enjoyed.

I've also been doing a little research lately... I'm thinking of leaving Vox. It's not that I don't like it here, but now that I've got the podcast, I've gotten a spike in readers, and hate that they can't comment without joining. If I do switch (and right now I'm 90% sure I will), I'll let you know. And, fear not, it won't be to blogger. I've already been through that nonsense.

Anyways, for having done all that, I don't feel as tired as I should. Maybe that's a good sign that I will feel full of energy tomorrow too. I should be able to make it through easily this week - it's only a 4 day one again.

Yay for 3 day weekends times two!

Swimming!

I got some pictures from our Father's day swimming adventure, and then today we went to the Science Center and then went swimming again.


Here's a few shots from Father's day:
I took a video today, here it is:
It's not the clearest, but it's from my phone. She does so well. :)

I also recorded the 5th episode of the podcast today, which I think turned out well. All that in combination leaves me exhausted. Enjoy your evenings!

What a day.

So, today was my day 'off' - not so much.


Got to the house, got my range fixed, but the oven is hopeless, unfortunately, got the upstairs fridge fixed, got three quotes on installing A/C. And quickly discovered that I will not be getting a/c. :( I'm getting one more quote tomorrow, just in case, but I think it will be a waste of time. Maybe I should call and cancel...

I spent the afternoon with my sister, and we had a great time. There were bank robberies, dumpster fires, and massive car accidents! And Cracker Barrel. And cupcake pops, that failed in the most pathetic and miserable way. And jokes. Oh, the jokes.

That's all for now.

Tomorrow we're going to the St. Louis Science Center on a couple date. I'm so excited!

Early Friday!

Today was better too. I got 38 hours this week between Monday and today. So, tomorrow I get the day off.


Of which, of course, by "off" I mean "hanging out in my 105 degree house while I get people coming through to quote me on installing an A/C and getting my oven fixed. If I'm lucky, I'll get to deal with ignorance as well. And I'm quite sure I'll get to. Wee... I think that'll be a 'neighborhood only' entry.

So, think cool thoughts for me tomorrow.

But tonight, I'll be thinking happy ones, because I'll be sleeping in until 9 instead of 6. That's a three hour bonus!
