new goodies

Soo i went to the yarn shop to get some notions. that was probably a bad idea. I came home with a book i have been wanting for a while, Rowan Pure Wool Collection. I am going to use the yarn from the Tyrolia Sweater that i still have to rip out. I am dreading it. But i get to pick out a new sweater that may hopefully fit. I am torn between the sinead and the damson patterns. although blaze is nice too! aargh. i know i shouldnt have bought another book without more progress but my mother was threatening to take her yarn back if i didnt finsh the sweater. its not my fault it doesnt fit! (well it actually probably is) well there is some progress made elsewhere, i finished the the back of my basketweave sweater last night and i have started one of the sides. i will wait to start a new project until this one (and others) get further.

your mom is a horcrux

Did you know there is a Forbes list of the richest fictional characters? now you do. And lucius malfoy is on the list.

owee

remember that part where is said i survived the weekend? i was wrong. full throttle on the jet ski on a choppy day seemed like a good idea sunday. not such a good idea today. day 2 of combo soreness + uber sunburned backside is here. if you need me i will be crawled up in a ball (on my side) underneath my desk.

Margahooties

Margahooties is what my mom calls margaritas. i am not sure why. also, if you ask her she will deny it. Anyway, she discovered this recipe and i really like it.

1 part lime-ade concentrate
1 part sprite (diet works too)
1 part tequila
1/2 part triple sec
lots of ice

I made mine with 1 cup each and then just filled the blender completely full of ice. So far this mix works best for blended margaritas but i bet with some tweaking (more sprite and add water?) they could be served over ice.

Rosi Queen of Corona

Harry Potter weekend is over. I am back from the lake and have survived. The weekend was quite a marathon. Left to go to the CAPA summer movie series Friday evening then hit B&N for our wristband, dinner, then B&N again. Then we (Shannon, Ben, and I) had the brilliant idea of driving to the lake immediately after we bought Harry Potter at midnight. We arrived at about 2:30. I survived, but just barely. I did not get any knitting done but did manage to work my way through a lot of corona. (sing along..... Rosi queen of Corona!)

There are no more Harry Potter books to read. I finished at 2 yesterday (and without depriving myself of any sleep.) I was the first one done of any of my friends and family. This makes me seriously doubt their dedication. cmon! I need someone to be finished with the book so i can gloat about my theory being correct.

get your own harry potter name. i have been officially transfigurated into Petunia Butterbeer.

Happy Harry Potter Day (kinda)

I am going to consider today harry potter day. the book technically is released tomorrow but i am going at midnight to pick it up. i think that if i don't go to sleep it is still the same day, so today i harry potter day. As soon as we get the harry potter, we are driving directly to the lake! we shall see how i fare on the drive. Shannon and ben are coming to the lake this weekend. yay! shannon hasnt been yet this summer and ben has never been. i have my new silly Cote d'Azur hat to wear and shannon has one to match. silly pictures to come. Sunbathing, boats, corona+lime, silly hats, knitting, and harry potter, oh my. quite an excellent combination.

So now is my dilemma, i am in a total knitting kick but i have to finish harry potter this weekend! i cant go back to work on monday without knowing how it ends. I guess i will get some knitting in, there are some times when you can knit and not read.

Soo i am back to work and i will see how the weekend goes. i am sure it will be excellent and hopefully i dont get too sunburned.
