Mood: Tired and in pain
Listening to: Watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

It feels like an orange day today.  I am watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire...I cannot get enough of it for some reason!  Maybe it is Victor Krumm(sp), he is gorgeous! 

So the weekend was ok.  Went out for supper Friday with my sister, the nephew and my son.  I ordered a huge ass steak...RARE...of course.  It was great! 

Then I got up Saturday morning and went out to my moms to pick up my nephew as my sister went out of town for the weekend...yeah I had to watch the nephew all day.  So my mom and I went to the truck stop and ate breakfast.  I had the Denver omelette w/hashbrowns and pancakes.  I ate the omelette and my nephew ate the pancakes. 

Took my nephew to Hobby Lobby and bought more yarn...ok it has gone past addiction to crazy now!  We took a nap and then my sister called and said she was on her way home.  Went and met her at the place she works and took her and the nephew home.  YAY...FREEDOM...

Had a few beers last night and hubby actually stayed home.  We watched History of Violence...not that great although the sex scenes were a...hmmmm...well you must watch it.  I didn't care for the movie all in all.  I would like to see Havoc...anyone see that yet?  Let me know what it was like so I can either save my money or not. lol

Nope, we didn't have the kiddos home at all last night which was nice.  My son was babysitting the nephews from hell and my daughter was at a friends house!  Then today she babysat the evil nephews.  lol  She is still gone and it is eight thirty PM now and no word as to when she is coming home!  She is making cash though!

Finished the one shawl and have now finished the other one...on to the next...hee hee  I am getting pretty good at this stuff.  I bought a knitting machine on EBAY for like  five bucks and it is an easy way to make scarves and hats.  Should be cool.  I actually got it for my daughter to use.  She wants to learn to knit, but I am NOT teaching her so we will wait till the knitting classes start in a couple weeks.  But for now the easy knit machine is what she gets.

Went to Barnes and Noble and bought a couple of book:

Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs...by Scott Cunningham

A Witches Guide to Faery Folk...by Edain McCoy

Both seem to be pretty good so far.

Hurt my neck the other day and can hardly move it side to side...I need pain killers.  I take like four Advil and it doesn't phase me.  Tried Tylenol...nothing.  It hurts...I want my mommy!

So now I sit here watching my show and will begin more knitting as soon as I am done here.

Well I am done and I hope your weekend was a fun and enjoyable one!

 

Take Care Those Who Do and Those Who Don't...
