Weekend in review
Jul. 2nd, 2012 12:10 pmFriday mel and I ventured out to see Brave. It was good and fun and very pretty. It was Disney in it made me cry and do stay through the ending credits....its worth it.
We then hit up Polish Cottage for a fabulous meal...OMG such good food and then we went antiquing and had a good time at that. Got home and I was beat. We had dropped off the Fit for a brake job and oil change and mel kissed me goodbye when he went to pick up Benton...I think I slept for 1.5 hours. Sheesh.
Benton had dinner..we were still stuffed from lunch and we had a nice evening. He was crazy tired from his long day. We all were and I think we were in bed by 10 pm.
Saturday dawned and we got up and had a good morning. I managed to spin while watching the Tour de France for the Tour de Fleece. I'm working my way through almost a pound of fiber over the 3 weeks. Its a big goal and during the week I need to try to spin for at least an hour per day. We shall see what I can accomplish.
But here is day 1's spinning.

Its polwarth that i got from 2Sisters Stringworks in Canada. Its in the colorway "Summer Skirt" but it reminds me more of those awesome red sunsets...uncertain we shall see when I get it finished.
Benton was pretty tired for his nap and slept a bit over 3 hours. We picked up the car and I managed to hit Old Navy for a gonga sale and get my eyebrows done before it was time home for dinner. Mel had made a lime/cilantro and rice dinner. Very tasty though Benton didn't much care for the chicken. It was another early-ish night for us but that was okay.
Sunday was hot and mel had been working in the shop in the mornings to beat the heat. We stayed in minus breakfast at Joe's. Managed to get more spinning done before breakfast and then worked off and on on the blanket for Elizabeth Grace. It turned out cute.

I really like the darker border. Very snappy.
So this week is light on the people in house for work but heavy on the tasks. Lots to do and its not helping that I had trouble falling asleep last night. Not sure what it was but grrr. Making me groggy today. I hope to get home a bit earlier tonight from scribble. We shall see.
