November 19, 2010

Went to The Melting Pot in Somerville last night with friends from MOMS Club. Service was ok, not bad but could have been better. Food was good. Nicely seasoned, and we were all full when we left. Of course, my share of the whole thing, plus my two AWESOME chocolate martinis, came to almost $100 including tip. Not someplace I'd go every day, but perfect for celebrating a special occasion with a small group of friends. Only four of us showed up, and I think the experience would have been worse if we had more.

Progressing nicely on my commissioned hoodie. Still stalled on the Kara cardi, but I am determined to get it done before Thanksgiving. It's not that it's a complicated pattern (I'd never design anything complicated), it's just that I can't get into it anymore. But it's been sitting on my needles since August, so I need to get my ass in gear. Also, finally got measurements from MIL so I can continue on her cardi. Mmmmm, alpaca.

Hit AC Moore two weekends back and got over $150 of yarn for $90-something. Most of it was for the commission, but I also got some nice stuff to knit up for DS and for me.

Hoping to enjoy some peace and quiet today, but DH is home sick so we'll see how that goes.
