I feel like I got so much done this weekend. I should really put all that energy into cleaning the place, but, meh.
Saturday I finished the Mother’s Day Scarf and the Toe-Up socks. I also went grocery shopping. Grocery shopping was a somewhat traumatic experience. I don’t know what it is about the rain, but it seems to make people three times as inconsiderate as they normally are. People were parking their carts smack in the middle of aisles, letting their kids run absolutely crazy throughout the store (I would SO vote for banning children under 12 from grocery stores). And then one family actually pulled their SUV under the awning at the exit, and I don’t mean just under it, I mean two feet in front of the door, so no one could get out while they were loading their two cartloads of groceries. People tried to tell them to move but they acted like they couldn’t speak english. I made a solemn vow not to go anywhere else for the rest of the weekend, in order to avoid being on the news with a AK-47 mowing down shoppers. The bonus was that while driving home I saw that the old Taco Bell (which closed last year) is now a Church’s Chicken! For the non-southerners, Church’s Chicken is like a soul version of KFC, but the chicken breasts are the size of London Broils.
Sunday, I started on the Cozy shawl. Love this pattern. Works up fairly quickly, or at least it seems to. I have twelve balls of yarn, 75yds a piece. I got through two balls and started on the third. If I can work two balls on Saturday and two on Sunday, and at least one during the week, I could feasibly be done with this in a month. But, I also need to start another pair of socks, as I don’t have a mindless knitting or a ‘knit in public’ project. I also unclogged my shower and made a bang up Sunday dinner. I made a herbed pork loin, rubbed italian seasoning on the outside and put garlic cloves in little slits. I also made some gravy, biscuits and corn. It was super yummy.
