Memorial Day Memories

5/26/2008

Comments

 

We had a pretty calm holiday 3 day weekend (HOORAY for 3 day weekends!) - on Saturday, I went to Simply Knitting and knitted with my buddy Terri - and I was able to get lots done on my Dr G's Memory Vest!  the snowflake sweater is AWOL right now - the lady who is fixing the shoulder seams for me was out of town on a trip... so I didn't get that one back... it's OK though - instead of focusing on finishing that sweater, I got to devote lots of time to this one! 

After knitting, I went to my nieces 8th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese's - if you don't know about this place, its a crazy kid land that has been around forever... when I lived in Fountain Valley, CA (during around 6th grade), my neighbor and I would pretend to have a Chuck E Cheese theater in his playroom.  He would go to the restraunt with his portable casette tape player, record the shows that the animatronics perform, and then go back to the playroom, and transform the closet into a stage - we'd throw fishing line over the clothes rod, and tie stuffed animals up so that we could pull the line and make them bounce up and down to the music.  He made a set for the animals, and we re-created the feeling right in his playroom.  it was crazy.  (I wish I had video of this, but I don't) -

That being said, I'm 33 years old now, and I don't love Chuck E Cheese anymore... I think of it as "germland" more than "funland" - icky and full of uncontrolled kids, snotting and sneezing all over the place, screaming and flinging pizza.  (ick!)

On Sunday, we had a party at my partner's parent's house - there were probably 40 people there - mostly relatives and a few close family friends - it was a LOT of work and sent us to bed early last night.  Today we spent the day cleaning up and taking advantage of deals at the grocery store... loading up on soft drinks (Ralphs had 5 12 packs for $10!)... napping... and washing cars -(just enough to get the dirt off) nice and relaxing.

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend - the good news for this week is that for those of us who had Monday off, it's a 4 day work week!  I am still knitting on the vest tonight and relaxing... in the next few weeks I want to try to organize my knitting and yarn stash - to get an idea of what projects are in my queue... but not today - not tonight... only a few hours before sleepytime... :)
