We didn't go into the city tonight. I was really sick and cranky and miserable all day, and then Jon called and said there was a problem with our tickets, (we weren't sure they were validated, oops!) so we decided not to chance driving into the city for nothing. Waste of time and money, especially with how crappy I felt.
Instead Jon decided to take care of me. He brought me home my favorite soup, Baked Potato, from Panera, and a sandwich. We were going to spend the evening watching a girly romantic movie, Becoming Jane, but I didn't think I had the stamina to pay attention, eat, and knit. I know, it's a rough life. Instead Jon turned on another 'romantic' comedy. Usually British comedies are my favorites, but I wasn't really into this one. It was Love and Other Disasters. Brittany Murphy is cute, but her accent going from British to American was just really annoying. I'm glad they explained it finally, but it was weird. It was a kind of cute movie and it sort of poked fun at itself and its genre.
I watched the Colbert Report from home and it was sort of a boring show, so I'm not heartbroken about missing the taping. We'll do it again soon, I'm sure. Right now I'm catching up on some recorded programs on the DVR and finishing up the last bit of knitting on a surprise I want to finish by tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do all the seaming and blocking tomorrow, but I'm going to be busy catching up on stuff I've been to sick to do for the last few days.
no macbook today. I'm gonna save up for a 17" macbook pro. I don't want credit debt, because right now we don't have any and we don't want any so I don't want to finance it.
I've got a shit-tastic cold right now and I'm crabby as hell. I'm watching intervention and drinking some grape drink.
Tomorrow we're going to go to another Colbert Report taping in the city. I can't remember who the guest is, some environmentalist/author person. It should be fun as long as Jon and I are both feeling good. Maybe we'll eat dinner in the city too. That would be good.
1. If I don't get pregnant soon, I'm going to go insane.
2. Devan's a 1st grader now. She felt sick on her first day, because she was soooo nervous. Here's a pic (one of many that turned out weird due to the weird, distressed looks she kept giving me)Click for a few more 1st day photos.
3. I finally saw knocked up. My opinions on the movie are mixed. See #1 for one reason why.
4. I'm knitting something adorable. I'll show you soon.
5. I love the newest photo & print project, A New Emptiness, from port2port press. I feel soooo many different things when I look at the photos.
That's it for now. I'll catch up with ya next week.
