At last... Victory is mine!
I had yet another amazing weekend.
Friday night, one of my best friends, Kristen came over. We went out for dinner, picked up some coffee ice cream and spent the night watching Grey's Anatomy Season 1 and knitting.
Saturday, I hung out with a few friends before Gabe came down. We ran some errands, picked up some dinner and then had a party at my house. It was a lot of fun, but also bittersweet since it was the last official party before Kristen moves down to South Carolina. Since she won't be here next weekend for my birthday, she ended up giving me my birthday gifts this weekend, and I must say I was floored by her generosity (and by her knack of getting me the perfect gifts.)
She bought me this stunning wood carving from Pier One that I am absolutely in love with: [As always, click on image to enlarge]
Also, this really cool candle:
And this candle plate that matches the new decor in my bedroom perfectly:
She also gave me a copy of the 2005 Pride and Prejudice, which I watched last night and absolutely loved.
Sunday morning, Gabe took Kristen and I both out for breakfast before Kristen left to meet up with some of her family. Gabe and I crawled back into bed to watch Primal Fear.
Then we met up with a friend of ours, Christian for sushi before Gabe had to head back up to North Jersey.
Monday was an extremely lazy day for me. I started a Kingdom Hospital Marathon and also gave Backyard Leaves another try. This time, it worked. I think the problem was before that there were just too many people around. Reading the chart, counting the stitches and holding multiple conversations just wasn't working for me.
I love this pattern. It's simple, in fact I'm only two repeats in and already I find I only have to glance at the chart, I can tell from looking at my knitting what happens where. I'll post some pics in a few days when I get a little more progress on it.
Tonight, Kristen is coming over and after cooking dinner, we'll end up sitting around watching TV, knitting and laughing. I'm looking forward to it tremendously.
I'm also looking forward to this weekend tremendously. I've decided to cook dinner for Gabe. He's earned it. He put up with not only me, but Kristen this weekend, and together, that's no easy feat. I'm leaning towards Baby Lambchops with Cucumber Mint Relish. Everyone who has ever tried this dish loves it, and if you're ever at a loss as to what to do with that lamb you have in the freezer, I highly recommend it.
