weekend
Jenn was here for the weekend. YAY! I have decided, though, that Jenn needs to live closer, so that we don't have to feel pushed to cram every fun thing we ever want to do into a 50-hour visit but can spread it out a bit. We ate Indian food (a first for me), walked around shopping in thrift stores and used-book stores and a really giant and very interesting antique store, took many pictures of green grass and happy cows, rode the bus to Yosemite and back with the most insane and rude bus driver in the universe, hiked around the aforementioned Yosemite and ate deli sandwiches (simultaneously), visited with our mutual friend Shea, tried and failed to watch some movies and do some crocheting, ate lots of junk, and oh yeah, talked each other's ears off. It was a very full 50 hours.
Meanwhile the Ts were gone at a Boy Scout camping outing, which was convenient because it meant there was room for Jenn to stay, but it was also very sad. I am still not done catching up on the hugs they missed.
Also, I finally got my ravelry invitation. No, this doesn't mean somehow became cool or found my way into the In crowd or anything -- just that ravelry, a wonderful community full of knittery goodness, is growing slowly on purpose so that the whole system doesn't implode in a shower of $20-a-skein wool-and-silk blends. (My username is mrsrachel.) I did start a knitting project while failing to watch a movie on Friday night, but it's a BIG TOP SECRET that might involve, say, something GRAY with a TRUNK. For someone who is really too old for stuffed animals, but this is an heirloom, right?
And I think thatisall. Even if it's not, it's time to fix supper for hungry people. Didn't I just feed them LAST night?

I almost forgot about that antique store. That place was wild. Made me wish I had money to burn. That driver was rude. "He thought everyone was better than him." Remember that? Hee! I am still trying to get over all that junk I ate. I can't believe HOW much food I stuffed into my belly. I still haven't watched either of those movies yet. Jason has no interest in watching them which pretty much means I can't watch them until he decides to go do something alone. I should take them back though because the fees will start racking up!
Anyhoo, don't want to take up your comment section with what I should be emailing. I love you and miss you already and really wish we had more time. Thank you for EVERYTHING. You are the hostess with the mostest.
