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.
Today was a good day. Slept in a bit, got ready, and headed the the Bark in the Park with Paisley. She had a fabulous time, and the weather was super for it. We wandered around, looking at the vendors, Paisley got in her sniffs and did a really great job not tugging me around the whole time. Just once, when she saw a dog that looked like Twister, and she drug me about 45 feet. Resulting in cuts from the leash on my knuckles. Ouch. But, ya can't blame her, that dog did look just like Twister.
When we were headed back to the car, we stopped at this little 10 x 10 foot fountain that's in front of the Muny. I figured she'd just stick her head in for a quick drink, but she hopped right into the thing! It was deeper than she'd hoped, I guess, but she swam a full lap and hopped back out. Everyone around had a good laugh about it. I don't know why I didn't expect her to jump in. I guess I figured it was a bit chilly so she'd just get her drink and go. She was pretty excited about the whole thing. She's been sleeping pretty good since then.
After the park, I came home and worked on a few things, caught up on some TV, and got about 2.5" of the lace body of the tree jacket done. It's going pretty fast now. It'd go even faster if I had a smaller cable, but for now this is what I've got. I'll probably switch the cables out tomorrow night so that I don't have to mess with the looping. If I can get knitting time in each night this week, I bet I can finish it by the end of May pretty easily. Of course, I won't be able to wear it.. Well, actually, I will get to wear it in August when we go to Australia. I think it'll be cool enough there for it. But only if it turns out cute. I don't want to wear a botched sweater on vacation. :)
We also went to see Mimi in the hospital today and visited with Bobby, who is in town to be with her as well. It was nice to catch up with him.
Ran a few more errands, got a few things that were much needed, and just relaxed while watching "Logan's Run" - a futuristic science fiction film from the '70s. Not nearly as good as "Time Machine" but not too bad either.
So, now that all that's over, it's time for bed.
More excitement will follow tomorrow, I'm sure.
Happy 18th Saturday in 2009.
Today had good parts and bad parts. I'm going to only focus on the good because I don't have the time or energy to rant. Well, that and this blog had too wide a readership.
I was up until 2:30 am working on my freelance project this morning. And it paid off. I finished the inside!!!! The first cover comp is done, and I'd like to make one more before tomorrow afternoon, but I am now officially realizing that it's an impossible task at this point.
Slept in, but somehow that was still only 7 hours of sleep, haha.
Then Scott & I went to see the new Xmen movie and to dinner at Outback with a friend from work and her husband. It was a super good time!!! I went into the Xmen movie expecting nothing, because I have been sadly disappointed by the last few Marvel/superhero movies I've seen. It was shockingly good for what I'd thought it'd be. However, it was too long. For being just under 2 hours, it seemed like 4. Too much back story. Too much mush. Not enough explosions and senseless destruction. BUT - better than I'd expected. And dinner was delish - even though my steak was "over done" not "well done" haha. But, anything is edible with A1. :)
Came home. Worked. Dealt with family stuff, financial stuff, and plans for Mother's Day since we will be gone in Ft. Lauderdale next weekend for a wedding. I'm looking forward to that. So much, in fact, that I'm thinking of not even bringing my laptop. I can blog from my phone, of course, but it should would be nice to be 100% unreachable for those 3 days. I'm turning into a recluse.
That's all for now. Big, busy (and hopefully not too stressful) day ahead of me tomorrow. More on that then.
Back to a 'normal' office full of yelling and eggshells today. I kind of liked yesterday better, except for the cause of it.
I had crazy dreams of basements and broken elevators and zombie cats last night. I'm not sure what was slipped into my broccoli cheddar soup, but it had to be something.
I hope the rest of the week flies by.
Tomorrow is knit night.
Thursday is Barb's birthday, so there will be a party at work.
Thursday night, Scott & I will celebrate our 3 years of wonderousness.
Friday is dad's birthday and the balloon glow.
It's all down hill from here, right?
