That stuff totally works

The zinc kicked my cold. It's amazing. By Saturday there was just the barest trace of a stuffy head. Really fabulous. It made my weekend. I certainly wasn't looking forward to being down. Save that for the weekdays, right?

Friday after my nap I had an appointment for a facial. I was feeling pretty good so I went ahead with it and it was lovely and relaxing. Saturday was more pampering, after loading my car up with wood that is. [Next year no matter what I am finding someone willing to deliver the wood to my house! This has been ridiculous -- me picking up loads every few weeks.] A manicure and pedicure and then a quiet evening at home with a pizza and a movie and a nice fire. I got the entrelac bag finished and felted and bought rattan handles for it on Saturday. I still need to trim the fuzzy stuff close because even though I folded it to the inside it still shows. Look how cute the bottom is. It doesn't show up clearly here but there's a little I-cord nubbin at the bottom as well. And here's a side view. See what I mean about the fuzzy bits? I don't like them. This bag is the perfect size for toting around socks in progress. As you can see it's not huge. And it took quite a long time to make as well. But it looks pretty good - if a bit garish. School colors anyway.

The Super Bowl party yesterday was quite fun. Alas I didn't win any money but the Colts won and it was a good game. And now the Pro Bowl on Saturday and then football is over for another year.
