Sometimes there is rest for the wicked
Jun. 20th, 2005 05:25 pmOr at least, for the naughty :)
Had a restful day in the water truck on Saturday, followed by a lovely but not-so-restful evening & night with Boyfriend. By went to the party for the HSA safety staff, and ended up making a run to Lawrence to rescue somebody whose car broke down, because he still sober enough to make that drive, poor thing.
Slept in Sunday morning, and stayed in bed not sleeping until after noon, which was all kinds of fun. Boyfriend stayed and chatted with us all day, while By worked on his walking stick, and I worked on blocking some knitted things. Kinda nice to just laze around all afternoon and talk.
Got up late today, too, goofed off a while, then we ran in to Larence for string shopping. My favoite brand of sock yarn, Blauband Special, is being discontinued (!!!!!), and Yarn Barn won't have anything comparable for a few weeks yet. Argh. So the kilt hose I'm going to do for a friend will be in Dale Baby Ul (100% superwash merino), that's a natural color right now, and I will overdye once it's socks. Went to Hobby Lobby to price yarn for baby things for a couple of friends, and walked out with $40 worth of yarn, because their baby yarns are on sale. By the way, Cat, if you get a chance, check out the Baby Bee Pitter Patter eyelash yarn. It's the Hobby Lobby house brand, and it's more a soft velour texture than an eyelash to me. It's oooooooooo soft. If only it came in something besides "baby yarn" colors....
By's napping now, and I'm having a sit-down, accompanied by a couple of Tylenol. (My late cycle finally decided to make a showing this morning, complete with cramps to remind me what I'd been missing. Grrrr. At least it waited until Boyfriend left. It's still a bit early for him to have to deal with me in the "oh my gods my uterus hurts" mode.)
