after i finally got well, it was christmas eve. i was invited over to a christmas eve dinner with the boyfriend's extended family, but my mother felt i should be home. though, i did run into him at the farm. i had to pick up pies and his father sent him out to find something that would make the house smell like chrismas (they have an artificial tree). afterwards, he helped me pick up some groceries at our supermarket. good times had by all.
christmas day. my brother woke us up at 7 in the morning. we went down stairs and the brother got a ton of movies, books and clothes (which he didn't want). i also got a ton of clothes, burt's bees stuff, a book, a new james dean calendar and a cell phone! finally! its pretty too! oh! and yarn, needles and a tea pot set. go santa!
afterwards, i went over to the boyfriend's house for about five hours where i met some of his extended family. i knew most of them, but a couple i met. it was fun and i could come home later and it didn't bother my mother because i now have a cell phone!
then i went over my best friend's house wednesday. great fun had by all! and then yesterday (thursday), the boyfriend took me out to a movie and food and to pick him up yarn to make a sweater:
today, i'm heading out to lunch with my creative writer's guild. good times. all the new and current officers are getting to know each other and have some fun. its 10:19 and i have to leave by 11:15, just so i get there in time. so i'll have to hurry the rest of this up.
the boy and i exchanged gifts. i got him the halo book set (three books), lewis blacks' "nothing's sacred" and a book on capoeira, a brazilian martial arts. he got me a book by saul williams, a dvd of andy kaufman, two pairs of bamboo knitting needles (US13 and US15), a bracelet, harry potter jelly beans and tags that i can sew on to my knitting that i sell (have yet to come in though).
the best friend and i also exchanged gifts. i got her picture frame, mug, hot coco supplies, socks, a head thing i made from knitty (pictures soon to come), burt's bees and this scarf:
took me forever but she seemed to like it. i got that pattern out of knit 2 together by ullman and clark. she got me two sweaters and a pair of pants from new york and company and burt's bees.
i have also been working on my "socks." i got the harringbone pattern from knitty. they were meant to be socks, but i realized that the harringbone was just too tight. it was my first time working with fairisle. but here's what it looks like so far:
i'm hoping to finish this one up today. i have so many other knitting projects i have to get to. i'm hoping to finish my leg warmers, gloves and a scarf (for the mother) by the end of break. i'd like to start on the boy friend's sweater and my friend's baby cape.
we'll see how all that goes.
time to run. good day all.
