CountryMouse's Refuge

Yesterday, after we played "Rock Band" and "Rock Band 2", I just hung out on the 'Net. Finally I stirred my lazy self and got ready to brave the cold.

Cat'r took me to Michaels and JoAnn's for yarn! I got a LOT of Lily Sugar'n Cream (cotton) yarn to make washcloths with; also I got several huge skeins of Caron One Pound and Bernat Berella '4' yarn.

Back home, I had a late late lunch. What did we do in the evening? Oh yeah, the guys went to the grocery, while I finally finished knitted my first in-the-round hat. Aaargh! I've used double-pointed needles (DPNs) before; but for some reason it seemed harder, transferring everything over from the circular needles to the DPNs. And then, what with having to keep count of the decreases, I felt like I was really having to fight with them. I messed up on my count at some point, but the hat still came out looking okay. :-) Cat'r's first response, when he saw it, was, "Awesome!". :-) I'll take photos in a day or so and have them up in my needlework section of my site.

Late late last night Cat'r and I played more "Rock Band 2". :-D Addictive.

Lazy morning. Cat'r napped some in the late morning, I knitted, Bunnicula went out to get the Sunday newspaper. No Michaels ad this week--waaah!

In the early afternoon we all played "Master of Rules", a new card game Cat'r brought up this weekend; "Quiddler", a rummy-type word card game; and our ever-popular dice game "Cosmic Wimpout".

While we were playing games, we got about an inch of snow--pretty!

Cat'r and I watched a two-part/two-hour episode of Doctor Who, on the TV for a change. Usually we use the laptop or a portable DVD player.

I had my (late) lunch; and Cat'r and B. had their meal in the late afternoon and watched a Stargate movie. I knitted some on my simple cable scarf.

We played 8-1/2 before Cat'r packed up his things and left at 9pm. The weekends always go by waaaaay too fast. :-/

TIRED--I didn't get much sleep last night. Hope to get to bed *soon*.
