Weekend in review
May. 3rd, 2010 10:51 amFriday we packed up and drove to Pine to stay at Chris and Miana's house. Its an awesome place and they have two cute kitties named Dash and Violet. We hung out and chatted with folks and just relaxed. Stayed up too late, got up to early (what weekend don't we, really?) and then I noticed that I forgot my overdress. Luckily Tati and I are about the same size and I wore her cote while she was in her kirtle. I really can't believe I did that but I was a bit of a space case by the end of the day I guess. The drive up was nice but my side was not enjoying the curves. I was hurting. I also hurt on Saturday after standing court for a few hours. Didn't think that would happen but by the end I was DONE. We did stop by The Pine Yarn Shop and did a bit of antiquing on the way to phx. Family dinner at Rockbottom was good. Beer killed the pain and life was good. This was the first time I've ever skipped on coronation. It felt weird but it also felt good.
Got home, showered and finished book 8 of the year (wow, I'm behind) called The Forgotten History of the United States which was basically all of the history before the revolution especially how it linked to our dealings with the native peoples. Interesting reading to say the least. I had not realized that France kept trying to take over parts of the continental US and it was a good read. A bit sided but all history has a POV. Then I started in on the 9th book Friday Night Knitting Club which is very good so far. So good I stayed up too late reading last night.
Got up on sunday morning and we had family breakfast at Joe's. Tati's mom was a hoot! Then it was home to watch more of the Complete Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett and crocheting on the agfhan. I'm now about 9-10" from ending the body. I worked on it all day. It grew about 10 inches or so...but man its killing me its not done. I've not been working on my socks just the darn blanket..though I guess I did work on them a bit yesterday during breakfast but not really. I want to work on stuff for me. But I hope to push through on things in the next few nights and I hope to get past the body and on to the border by the weekend. That would be AWESOME. So many other things to make. I also have to work on my handouts for the fiber retreat so lots to do. Work front is a bit slow though but I'm coping.
