Memorial Day = forgetting everything I've ever learned

So I've been absent a few days.  Let me start by clarifying: I am too old to party like this anymore.  I went to a bachlorette shower after work on Saturday and hung out with her family and drank too much wine.  Then I went to meet a coworker and drank more wine.  *Then* I went to the bachlorette party where I don't really remember much.  I do know that Sister came and picked me up, and my knee is pretty skinned up.  Apparently I fell down.  Ugh.

Anyhow, as a result, yesterday I got up for brunch and to go reclaim my car and then slept.  All day.

Today...today I worked on Afternoon Tea and the Anniversary Sweater while watching movies before I went to my mum's for Memorial Day burgers.

This is a very lackluster posting, I know, but I'm still...groggy.  Yes, this was a two day hangover.

Yeah, yeah. I forgot.

Or rather, I didn't forget, but I got caught up in life and didn't post.

Quick update, with pics to come later tonight....

Finished all the needle work on Askew, and I just need to seam.  Its blocking now. 
Which I hate cause I suck at blocking. 

Two more pattern repeats on Clapotis before its done.  :)

...Afternoon tea is only about two rows deeper than last we talked.  *sigh*

In Deep Knit

I learned yesterday that posting about Supernatural will get you readers.  Hello, readers! I'm not sure my knitting blog is going to be what you're looking for, but its nice to see you. :)

...on to knitting.

I'll admit, I wasn't as productive as I should've been yesterday, but I had a (moderately) valid reason.

Also, I think my chronology is a little off, as I've been writing blogs to be scheduled to post and so we have two nights to catch up on, cause I forgot to do it last night.

So Wednesday night I went with my friends Georg and Ellen to pick up their couch surfer (who was this really chill yogi on his way to Taos) and then we went to Pizza Lounge in the fair park area to have wicked good vegan pizza.  Now I'm not vegan, or do I care to be, but they are, and I'll eat pretty much whatever is placed in front of me.  Admission time: I wouldn't have been able to tell that the pie was vegan, except I was there when we ordered it.  It was amazing. For realsy.  Anyhow, I got back in late, and only got a row or two done on Clapotis before passing smooth out for bed.

My kid is terrifying

Thursday I work by appointment only, so I usually piddle around the house, knit, watch Supernatural or
X-Files or Gossip Girl (don't judge.) and get all my laundry done for me and the Kid.  Except yesterday I slept until 12:45, barely made my 1pm meeting, and had a massive headache.  I got back about three, started section four of Clapotis, which is awesome, because I love turning that corner.  There's something exquisitely cool about taking my increases to decreases and making a corner.  I love mitering, too, but that's another day's post.  Also, you get to start dropping *two* stitches on the pattern row, which is ridiculously fun, About five-thirty I went with Sister to go eat, where I had a brilliant margarita at Applebee's (of all the freaking places) that was Absolut Texas (cucumber/Serrano infused), with sweet and sour mix, and fresh jalapenos.  Loved it.  Then we went to Kid's belt ceremony where she kicked ass and earned her blue belt.  She's pretty cool.

We didn't get home until about nine, when we did math homework and watched House until she fell asleep.  I started a third skein of yarn when I turned the corner, and the more I look at it, the more I think maybe that wasn't the best place, because weaving it in is going to be a bitch, but I also don't really want to frog anything down, so I'll deal with it in a few days.

ETA on new yarn? 11 days.  :) I'm hoping to have the scarf finished by then.  Shouldn't be an issue.
