It was that kind of weekend - talking myself into doing things I really didn't want to do and then rewarding myself with some fun. Saturday was packing and getting half (or less, really) of the moving done. Oh my goodness do I hate moving. And for someone who hates it so much, I sure have done a lot of it in the last few years. This is the fourth time since March, 2011. And please all supernatural beings, let this be the last for a long time! The good thing is that I have pared down my belongings so it's not nearly as bad as when I started out. I got rid of a bit more this weekend and made two trips. It was a tough day for me, I won't lie. The carrot was going out to hear some music. As luck would have it, the Triplehorn Brewery was having an annual do and I absolutely love their Belgian beer. The weather was super awesome so it was nice to be outside. There was live music but I must say I wasn't all that keen on the bands. The music was not danceable and I had wanted to dance. Oh well, no matter. The beer was wonderful and I had the best BBQ sandwich I have ever had, hands down. The BEST.
On Sunday I would have liked to get back to the apartment to start on cleaning and maybe get my manicure and pedicure, but that was not to be. A big family party, thankfully early in the day, was planned and I didn't have the time. A quick trip to Costco and the grocery store for necessary items, then off I went to the mall for a really quick sweep through to get my makeup and some face cream. Nordstrom is on one side of the mall and that's the only place I can buy Chanel makeup and then WAAAAYY on the other side of the mall is Macy's where I get my Clinique stuff. The party was nice. Tink had a couple of doggies to play with, and they all enjoyed a little dip in the creek. And rolling in the dirt. Too much food and it was so hot and I was so thirsty that I drank 3 cans of soda! So I was full, but did manage to eat a bite of most things. Big Italian family so you know there's going to be too much food. And good thing, the family stuff was done and I was in the shower, washing off the dirt and sweat before 5. And my carrot Sunday? No, not putting boxes away. No, not doing laundry. I sat down in the quiet and cast on for my new project and then I got to do two repeats and start on the third! The pattern is super easy and my beads that came Saturday are absolutely perfect. It took a while to get used to lace weight yarn again. It's like knitting with thread!
I don't think it will be Do-Nothing-Monday tonight. I have to unpack a few boxes or I'll go nuts. I hate clutter. And laundry. And maybe some more knitting?
