Most Boring Weekend Ever
Friday night was kinda fun. Melissa and some other friends and I went to this go-cart racing place in Mulkiteo. The racing part was only about 10 minutes, but it wasstill fun to drive that fast. Melissa drove like a granny and caused several collisions because it's hard to get around people, but it was still a good time. Saturday was pilates and today was church...that's about it. Good news is that I finished the baby quilt that I've been knitting for a couple weeks. It only took three and a half skeins...but I had a Yarn Harlot moment at Ben Franklin. As I looked in the sales bin, I saw some really pretty deep purple yarn that was only four dollars a skein and the skeins were really big...because of this good price, and because I don't have a project in mind yet for said yarn and who knows how much I will need once I think of a project, I dug around until I'd fished out all five skeins. That's just crazy....here I've been trying to make the stash diminish....oh well. This is the lifestyle of a knitter...or so Yarn Harlot says.I am desperate to go on some kind of vacation. I don't care if it's a long weekend or in the middle of a week...and at this point I don't even care where it's at. I just want to GO somewhere that isn't here. There's the ever elusive work trip to Burbank, but I can't count on that because they've been talking about that for months now. I could just go to Disneyland...but I thought that I would save that for when I do go down there for work and then I'll just extend the trip by a couple days; at least the airfair is paid for that way. :) So then I am left with 1)Where to go? 2)Do I really want to go alone? I spend enough time alone as it is...the idea of going somewhere else alone really just isn't that appealing. It's way more fun to chat with someone throughout the day. So, I don't know. I don't have a passport yet; I thought about going to Vancouver or Nanaimo or something. But that's not going to work...plus, I think the exchange rate there right now is nonoptimal for us USians. Surely there must be someplace I can go and someone who wants to go!
