We saw Kong yesterday and was plesantly surprised. It was waaaay too long, but I couldn't help getting caught up in the obvious love PJ has for the story and the genre. Will post more about it later.
And speaking of such things, I am one *really* fortunate gal! I got an Eddie Bauer gift card as a late Christmas present from a very dear friend, so I went over to see what they had. They had that blue angora-blend sweater I pointed out yesterday - just one left, and in my size. And it's even nicer in person! So I got it! I'd post a picture, but I don't think I can from Eddie Bauer's site - it's this one, though, if you click on the blue option. I've got some dangly silver earrings that'd go nicely with it!
I'm also going to take Suzi's suggestion and make a scarf - just a simple, skinny one - to wear. It shouldn't take long. If it doesn't turn out as I'd like...well, this will look nice plain, too, but I'd like to try my hand at something pretty. Plus it'd give me a conversation starter in that I could say I made it, which never hurts. ;-) Oh, and while I was picking up a skein of yarn, I saw that they had allll crochet hooks on sale, so I picked up one of the other type of plastic hook, just to see if those are better. If any of you buy new hooks, I'm tellin' ya, look for the Boye Balene ones! This is just day to the Crystalite's night...it's amazing. Silky smooth, no horrible nails-on-a-chalkboard screech when moving yarn around, and the hook is nice and deep. I'd rather like to get their smaller ones eventually, even - I think it's *better* than the aluminum ones.
I also have a buncha movies to watch and I borrowed some good CDs from the library. Just been a really great day today, ya know?
WOO HOO!
What a difference a day makes! ;-)
Popcorn and movie time now!
I'm glad... I love the sweater, and I hope you have a great time at the party!
What movie are ya watching?
Holiday Inn - never got around to it last night. I was too busy whining. ;-)
Speaking of movies... did ours come?
Yes! I'm excited to watch - I just sent you a FRMail :~D
She's a girl, she just had some not-very-well-thought-out ideas.
YIPPEE!!
Be sure to take some pictures when you get all gussied up, chica! :-D
Excellent! I'm glad to hear you had a nice day! Mine was good, I talked to several folkses from Dad's work about their projects and found one I'm going to investigate more fully, for the... uh... possibility that I want to spend time around home this summer. And the pay is supposedly good though I got no definite there. And then Mom and I went out for dinner.
Tomorrow is Friday! Yay!
Gorgeous color!
This is a family thread!!
Evenin' folkses...
The house just keeps getting cleaner and cleaner... Jeez... today I even washed windows. Good grief.
Argh! I have to give you an evil glare for that.... *evil glare*
Yipee!! My Burpee's catalog came in!
Heh... well, I won't leave you with any false illusions... it will never actually achieve "clean" status. Merely that small portions are in a state of "cleaner than it was".
I'm going to place an order from this place this year. ;)
Ok, that makes it all better. :P I'm always striving for "cleaner than it was".
