Random Sunday

1.  it's sunday night, and i'm watching olympic men's volleyball even though i know that they already won the gold medal.  on a scale of 1-10 i enjoyed these games about a 6.  too much beach volleyball, not enough anything else.  also it was frustrating to know how things ended 12 hours before seeing them.  i know it couldn't be helped, but it kind of took the fun out of it.  by the way, did anyone see the long jump or the high jump or any of that?  because i missed it.  oh well.

2.  i made some progress on babette.  i'm on the last section, halfway through.  this is one tiny blanket.  i'm not going to create new sections though.  i think i'll just add some size with extra border rows.

3.  yesterday was a big inlaw birthday celebration.  three birthdays were celebrated including the 21st of my oldest niece.  good times.  (really, i'm not being facetious).  did some bonding with the baby niece. the dumdums are working like a charm.  heh heh.

4.  i finished up some knitting:  a cowl and a pair of socks.  nothing too exciting, but i'll show them to you later on this week.

5.  and i may get a little bit of a vacation after all.  i took this coming week off, but made arrangements to go to the jersey shore wednesday and hang out with a college friend. 

sweet.
