Weekends

sunrise

This weekend was one of the best for no particular reason.

Friday, I waited for my husband to get out of work early so we could go to the library and then pick up some Chinese food, which was beyond delicious!  I also borrowed more books than I can read in my allotted time.  That's okay, I like to stretch myself. I can renew at least once :)

Saturday we had a lazy morning, I sat and read.  I am amazed that my reading comprehension improves significantly when I am awake.  Why oh why do I not do it more often?  This week I am trying to read every morning because it's good.  There was some thrift stores visited but I'm saving that news for Thursday-gotta keep everyone in suspense.



Saturday evening we made homemade pizzas that were delicious.  dough, sauce.....mmmmmmm, I always have mushrooms and olives.  Then we watched Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan-Fabulous!!!   My favorite quote by Kahn "He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him". Spoken like a true crazy person. I have a soft spot for the underdog.  It's kind of sad to see him lose, he was so confident he'd win.

Even though I enjoyed the summer-like weather the past couple of days,  I was thrilled to turn off the AC yesterday and get back to spring.  All of the bushes have sprouted new leaves up our road.  I am quite confident they are at least one month early.  Crazy weather!

How was your weekend?

    First, those pizzas look amazing! I'm going to have to try homemade very, very soon.

    As a total Trekkie, I LURVE all things Star Trek (the original), and I agree, Khan was a baddie but Ricardo Montalban was so fantastic, that you almost rooted for him.

    my hubbie is a super-trekkie (the original ones!)

    yum and double yum on the pizzas! I cheat and buy a crispy crust that our local bakery makes for ours, but yours looks so good I might have to try the next ones from scratch!!!

    Sounds like a lovely weekend. I love asian food, sadly where we live we are very limited for takeaway and there are no decent asian take aways. The pizza looks yummy. We had homemade pizza for dinner tonight. Jacinta

    Those pizzas look amazing! Yum! I just love all things Star Trek (I'm a total dork) and Ricardo Montalban made such a great maniacal opponent for good ol' Kirk.

    You had a delicious weekend. I love mushrooms! I also love olives and anchovies. Don't tell anybody. I like your idea of reading in the morning. If only I could get up before everyone else so it would actually be peaceful.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
