why life is wonderful

* Barring any shenanigans with NC weather, I will be seeing someone I've missed like crazy this afternoon. <3

* Abbey Road Live! tonight. And we have got quite the crew going. Anyone willing to be on call for bail money?

* Kent's brother, his wife, and Harry the Cutest One-Year-Old made it safely to Cambodia to see her family.

* Robin, the wandering SiL, will be here again in two weeks (!) for a job interview (!!!). Please keep your fingers crossed that she gets it, because I can think of few things cooler than having her here locally.

* Did I mention I'm having a visitor?

* Alpine Bagel makes the best tuna salad (better than mine, I think, and that is saying A LOT) and I have half of an everything bagel with the aforementioned waiting for me for lunch.

* The Patriarch is already quizzing me on which restaurant I want to go to in Atlanta when we come visit him before Dragon*Con. And the answers I gave impressed him (although he still thinks my fascination with Richard Blais is a MAJOR character flaw)

* Looks like there will be a potential Chirp-sighting sometime this weekend. The potential level of weird keep getting racheted up...and up...and up.

* While cleaning house, I found FIVE missing G hooks. I swear, those little buggers love to play hide and seek.

* I'm writing in my paper journal every day for the first time in years. Let's hope I don't get a reason to stop again (not that I think there's any danger of that).

* Did I mention Dragon*Con looks like a go?

*All of the bills (including rent) are paid. And it's the 18th. And we still have two paychecks coming in this month. Aside from groceries/living expenses, those can go straight to savings.

* There is going to be wonderful food this weekend. I swear, having the spousebeast around is like having my own personal chef.

* And did I mention I'm going to have a visitor?
  • Current Mood: cheerful obnoxiously cheerful

Thankfully, NC weather cooperated. Not that we saw much of it from inside the house. :-) :-)

He IS a personal Chef.

What the heck is a G Hook?

Dragon*Con you say?

There's a yarn craft called crochet which uses one hook, instead of two needles the way knitting does. The hooks are generally sized by letter--B hooks (I've never seen/heard of an A hook) are the smallest (except for thread crochet), and Q hooks are the largest.

D'oh.
I've never heard them referred to in that format (a G hook), so I thought she meant something different. We're all knitters here, crochet hooks are repair tools, and are all "small".

A reason for all of us to go to D*C again, ne? Maybe without the working part, this time.

Ooooh....maybe I can haul y'all over to dinner at The Patriarch's house.

Okay, maybe I'm still partly evil.

A few years ago when I had a Joann gift certificate, I bought myself a set of the lovely Clover Soft-Touch crochet hooks, which came in a tapestry carrying case. I love them! They're so easy to hold on to, and the case keeps them organized. Having said that, somewhere in this house are errant G and J hooks. I know they're here, I just can't find them. I recently made an afghan for a friend, and I needed another J hook. I went back to Joann.com and they were having a sale, so I picked up the soft-touch G and J hooks, plus some other stuff, and even got free shipping! Yay me!

:-)

Good luck to your SIL on the interview!

It's amazing how those hooks disappear. Of course mine always show up the day after I've bought a new one. lol

Yay for good food!

Wait, did I see you're having a visitor? :-) Have a great weekend!

Dragon-Con, awesome! I really wanted to go last year but I didn't, and now I regret it because it turns out that they're ditching the Weyrfest track from here on out. :( But I'd still like to go at some point, I've heard great things about it.
