Good morning gals! We didn't go to bed until midnight, but my peepers were open right at 5 am as usual so I just came downstairs and straightened up a bit, balanced my checkbook and am checking on a couple things I ordered online.
I had to order a couple more skeins of the cashmere because I don't think I have enough for a good long scarf. Her birthday is a week from today and I know I am not going to get the yarn and the beads to finish it, but I already apologized to her and said her other gift should be to her on time. I decided to put 6mm (about 1/4 inch) beads on the fringe next to the scarf itself about every other fringe to spice it up abit. Here is the beginning of the scarf and the beads I ordered for it. Of course, the beads are much tinier than this. I think she will like it. She loves wearing scarves and this is really soft.
The date night was fun! We had a nice dinner. I splurged and got this really good buffalo chicken salad and for dessert had a chocolate shake, which was like eating a sundae. They make the best chocolate shake I have ever had. Of course, Jack ate most of it as I can't eat/drink a lot of milk or it makes me sick at my stomach. We than went over to the mall for about 20 minutes and then went to the theater and got in the queque. We were second in line so we got our pick of seats. The movie was really good as long as you didn't compare it to the book than it was pretty flawed. They took a lot of liberties with the book and changed a lot of stuff even making characters do things other characters did in the book. As long as you just watched it thinking it was a sequel to the other movies it was very entertaining. The place was packed and a mother, her tween dd and her tween 2 friends came late and there weren't seats together so the three brats sat next to me and the mother the row above. They sat and did something in the dark with their stupid cell phones the whole time and the dd, who sat next to me, took her shoes off and folded her legs up on the chair like she was at home or something (in a skirt no less) and kept kicking me with her nasty feet not once apologizing. I had just about had it and wanted to tell her to either put her dang feet on the floor and turn off the stupid cell phones or she could go back and sit with her mother. Other than that we had a great time.
Today is get stuff for Jack's lunch day then tomorrow I am going to the commissary and maybe get some downstairs cleaning done. We have a leak somewhere, we think the copper tubing to the ice maker may be leaking so Jack has to pull out the fridge and see and try and find it or we will have to call our home warranty people. It had to be just dripping because the only thing we are noticing is little wet places in the linoleum where it had come loose or is ripped a bit. We also have another problem with the bathtub in the hall. I think when they replaced the faucet head he didn't get it flush against the tile and water is dripping from the shower and then dripping through the ceiling because we have it leaking their again. We may need to recauk that and around the edge of the tub at the bottom then Jack is going to have to redo the place he did a year ago. I swear this old condo is falling down around our ears. It is always something.
Jean: Hope your "date" was successful. Keeping up with house stuff is a never ending battle, isn't it?
Well, I am going to get some knitting in and get a good length of that scarf done before I go and exercise at the pool. Gotta work off that salad!
Have a good Saturday everyone!
