Well, my short little "vacation" came and went without much fanfare. We did gat to take Chase to the zoo last Saturday. It was a rainy, cool day, but luckily it was perfect weather while we were there! I have some really good pics, if I'd just take the time to upload them on my computer!
On Monday of my "vacation" I went shopping with my Mom. Chase was a holy terror! He even swatted (SWATTED!!!) at me in one of the stores. I could have spit fire I was so angry with him. Someone please give me some hope about the terrible two's. (and please don't let it be that they're not any better at 4, 6, or even 10-18!)
Tuesday of my "vacation" I went with a good friend to the closest LYS in the area - 45 minutes away! I bought a carry-along called Bubble FX to knit a baby hat for a very dear friend who is expecting a baby girl in the spring. I really wanted to purchase some more GGH Gracia, but the shop owner said it's on backorder. I couldn't find any in Memphis, either. In fact the shop owner at Yarniverse hadn't even heard of it. Too bad, because I *love* it! (I did get the material to make the Coney Island Fireworks Scarf from SNB at Yarn to Go in Memphis. I varied the pattern and didn't cast on nearly as many stitches because I wanted it narrower - but I digress)
Wednesday - Friday = pure hell, aka school after a short break.
Friday night I took Chase to a birthday party, which was also a costume party. He dressed as Sheriff Woody from Toy Story, and one a prize for best dressed! I am telling you he was the most adorable thing you've ever seen!
Saturday I attended a baby shower for my sister-in-law (not even going there on how we feel about this pregnancy), and Saturday night I went out on a DATE! Who Hoo!!!!!!! My mom kept Chase so Tim and I could go to eat (Rib Cage - yummmmmm) and to the movies. I can't tell you how long it's been since we actually got to go to the movies. Well, yes I can - Shrek 2! Ages ago! We went to see Friday Night Lights. It was pretty good! I had read the book several years ago (loved it), and was really dying to see the movie. I was glad they filmed it to look like a documentary, but they left so much out! I know you can't fit in everything due to time constraints, but sheesh, give me a little character development like Bissinger did.
Sunday found us at another birthday party, then went to my parent's house because my mom just bought new wood blinds and Tim hung them up for her. I didn't get home from Mom's until 10:45 last night, and I guess in a related fashion, I overslept this morning and was late for work! That's it in a nutshell, folks. Nothing special. I will post pictures soon of some of our jaunts. Have a great week!
Wow, that is a packed vacation! I hope for you the terrible two's are short-lived! Oy! I bet Chase was adorable in his winning costume!
Rock on with your knitting self.
Take good care!!
P.S., we're headed down to Huntsville last week of October...do you happen to have any hints for things to see/do??
