boredom strikes again
Oct. 25th, 2004 08:45 pmI bought new sockses todaaaaaay.
Post-work trip to Target with
brabble. I now own bright blue socks that appear to have been knitted out of lint. They're soft and fuzzy and will hopefully be warm enough until I buy some decent polar-fleece ones. Bought a sack of plain, athletic white ones and some striped wool ones as I'm tired of ignoring the holes in my older pairs. I also bought a soft, hooded, grey robe that makes me feel like a monk. It's very exciting. A lot more exciting than damn bra shopping. But I think the two new pairs I've bought are going to be less dreadful than the other horrors in my lingerie drawer.
I
Target.
I'm giddy over the scarf I finished knitting for Roger, Sarah's teddy-bear. Somehow the horrid rainbow-ness is offset by the cuteness because it's so little! I wanted to call her and announce that I was on my way over to put in on him. But as she's out with her dad, that would have been obnoxious. Oh dammit. I should have SNUCK into her apartment and put it on him. Oh well, too late and too cold for that now.
We also went by Game Stop to buy PS One memory cards since we'd both lost ours and PS2 doesn't actually save old games on the PS2 memory card.
And I finally bought the Dudley Manlove tickets for Saturday for Sarah and myself. I can't wait to share their frisky goodness with Sarah. They're so cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!I usually wait until everyone else has tickets, and if Judy, John, Jeff & Co all bail on me I am going to be one sad, woeful thing.
Had a fun chat with big brother J when I called to wish him a Happy Birthday and remind him that he is very, very, VERY old. J also helpfully had no idea what he wanted for his birthday. So he's getting books. I bought OB some steaks for his belated birthday since the biggest thing I know him to be a fan of is MEAT. I'm going to bake them both cookies and send a card. And thus my sisterly duties will be done for the year.
As my mom has pleaded for us all to come home for Eid this year, I'm semi-looking forward to going now. Mostly to see my darling little nephews. Must take bribe-gifts. I have to make a quillow for Zia before I go, but maybe I'll have time to quick-knit the wee ones some scarves.
OH! And FINALLY!! Ikea got some new dark-red, embroidered quilt covers (Tanja Brodyr) in stock! I was able to place a catalog order and will be rejoicing in 7-10 days. I need to buy some dark-cream sheets now. Yay!
I think it's time for some FINAL FANTASY TACTICS now that I have a memory card. Whee!
