October 10 of 31

Today was a long day. I left the house bright & early to bring my car into Acura for a regular check-up. My sister met me there and we headed off to do some errands while my car was being serviced. I got my prints done for the October Sock Club Patterns since the kits will be going out in the mail next week and had a few returns to do. We went to see the 1pm Starz & Stroller movie, which was Heartbreak Kid this week. We met up with Jenn & Jakob and pretty much the entire playgroup from Jenn's house last Thursday. Heartbreak Kid was not a movied I'd pay full price for, but definitely funny. A lot of sex & nudity again this week - definitely not PG13! I had a free pass so I'm glad it was free! Though, it was indeed funny! The movie for next week isn't listed on the site yet, so I'll check back tomorrow. After the movie I did another return and then picked up my car. I stopped by the bank and then headed back into the city. In the city I got my passport picture taken (since my sister did my hair nicely for me this morning - straightened it) and I am VERY happy with my passport picture since I wasn't allowed wearing my glasses nor was I allowed to smile. I am happy that this image that was taken will be my passport for the next 5 years. I am waiting until after Rhinebeck to submit it though, so that I have a passport to cross the border with next weekend. I went to the post office (in the same place where I got my passport picture taken) and then waited around for Angela to arrive as we were hanging out at my place tonight.

I received my package in the mail today from Noricum - our swap for leftover sock yarn. I cannot wait to get my deadline projects finished so that I can continue on Sean's blankie! Very excited about that! I am also VERY impressed that she wound every cake by hand! (I used my ball winder to do hers!)

She also sent me along these goodies - some homemade magnets, some chocolate, and a keychain bear.

Also - my fave two added extras are this mini crochet hook (needed one for my knitting kit) and this little pouch to house my grafting needle(s)! Noricum made the little pouch by hand, and I'm inquiring to see if she'll sell some in my shop! Thank you for the awesome swap (she should be getting my parcel in the next day or so).

There has been knitting today on the hat. It's coming along nicely. I am going to have to KNIT KNIT KNIT all day tomorrow I think to get it done. Once I'm done the hat, I'll see how much time I have left to add onto the scarf before we leave to dinner. I have to also take into consideration weaving in ends, etc.... also. (For timing). I CAN DO IT! I know the hat looks weird above, but below is what it will look like - folded over, is how you're supposed to wear it! Anyhow, I won't be leaving my couch tomorrow... I have to KNIT KNIT KNIT!



I worked on the hat today during the movie in the theater, and as well, while watching Mean Girls with Angela! I think it was my 487th time watching that movie - I just love it. When I used to work in a video store, that's all I used to watch! (And Grease, and Elf, and Breakfast Club, and Death Becomes Her amongst other classics that I used to watch while working!)

Sean tried fish last might for dinner and absolutely loved it! I had made tilapia marinated in honey garlic sauce. He just loved it. I gave him leftovers for dinner tonight again and it was a big hit! I hope he doesnt't ever stop this! He'll eat anything! Phew!

I also totally forgot that Sean started his swim classes on Tuesday, so we missed the first one. I will have to make sure we don't forget next week! I really have no idea how I forgot??
