Dinner for one can still be yummy!

Friday we had craft night.

I can haz mai tailz!

Saturday I went to Cristi’s after a fun day at the yarn shop. She gave me the best birthday prezzie!!

4 oz. of hand-dyed Merino wool from Spritely Goods!

I can’t wait to spin this up. It bumps up to next on the list!

Sunday Rachel (blogless! boohiss!) hosted a holiday card making party. I took knitting of course as I have no ability in the paper crafting.

So lots of friends and food and fun this weekend. A LOT of knitting (ummm…I cast on SEVERAL projects this weekend and finished one – look for it soon) and some new fiber to play with!!!

and knitting.

and a lot more that we didn’t take pics of like live music and vendors and all sorts of neat stuff. Shut up, we didn’t take pics cause we were in a hurry to get to the next event.

Then we hit Taco Bell for an exciting lunch of a crunchy taco (and some nachos) for me and a soft taco (and crunchwrap supreme) for Cristi. I had been craving crunchy for a couple days (no, I am in no way possibly preggers, so don’t go getting all in a twitter over me craving crunchy – turns out I am just fat and crave food. get over it) and what better way to get crunchy then with Taco Bell? (And I swear there were people out to keep my from my crunchy taco!!! “honey, did she just yell ‘crunchy taco’ at us?” – “I think she did. I wonder what that means!”)

After lunch, we rushed over to The Hut in Pineville where The Yarn Shop at Rainy Day Creations was having a Charity Convergence Event.

There were charities.

Project Linus and the Levine Childrens Hospital were there among many others.

There were prizes.

I bought a Kumihimo Disk. And then got attacked by a spider. I should have taken a pic of that damn spider, but I was afeared of it. I think it was the size of my ass (which is about the size of Texas – I have seen pics – why did you people let me get so fat???) and it was living in the yarn. And it ran at me. And I screamed like a little girl. Sue me, it was HUGE! Others came over and didn’t see it at first as it had retreated into the yarn. Then they saw. Cristi said it was huge too. Though she didn’t compare it to the size of my ass. Cristi bought another Lantern Moon Bag - and she was glad it wasn’t in pink or I would have had to have it. The inside colors just aren’t me. But I love it. Too bad it only comes in that shade combo…

So now I am at home. Procrastinting about 3 million things. Like a podcast. And laundry. And packing for my trip next week.
