Time flies when you're knitting like a fiend.

I can't believe how quickly this past week flew by. It seems like just yesterday I was waking up, grumbling about another Monday at the office.

Gabe is coming down tonight when he gets off work, and the two of us will be headed out to dinner. His favorite place to eat (around here) is a Japanese/Chinese restaurant. We go there every time he comes down here, and my friends and I often order take out or go there ourselves once in a while during the week.

It's a great place, with great food, and I love that you can get both Japanese and Chinese cuisine all in the same place. I always order the same thing. Fried Dumplings with a scrumptious ginger sauce and either a Krispy Kani (crab) roll with Eel Sauce drizzled on top or an Apolitan Roll (red tuna) with Eel Sauce drizzled on top.

I've been eating there so much recently that I am starting to get a little sick of it, and was hoping that Gabe and I could go elsewhere for dinner tonight. Naturally when asked, he agreed and told me to pick the place.

We'll still end up going there though. I can't keep him away from his favorite restaurant down here, especially not after everything he's doing for me this weekend.

On our way to visit his friend in Massachusetts, we'll be stopping at Webs. It's a little out of the way, but he doesn't mind making the side trip for me. Despite the fact his friend we're going to visit is making a huge deal out of it, and making it well known that she doesn't want him to stop at the yarn store because it will take time away from her, he's still insisting on taking me there.

I can't help but feel a little special and want to do something nice for him in return. After dinner, we'll probably end up hanging out with a few of my friends and my brother. He's having a birthday BBQ this weekend, and as tempted as I am to stay up most of the night and party with all of them, we'll be headed to bed early since we plan on leaving around 4AM to head up to the yarn store.

I still don't have any pictures to share of my knitting over the past week or so. But Gabe is letting me take pics with his digital camera and I should have them uploaded by Tuesday at the latest. Waiting patiently to be photographed are five washcloths, one scarf, two bags and a clapotis!
