I just can't seem to come to a decision on what color or brand of yarn to get for 2nd DDIL's Upstairs Shawl. I even emailed 2nd DS and asked about color but of course I haven't heard back from him. Good chance that I won't at all. Uff. I've gotta just pick something and get it. I'd love to go to Fargo so I could feel it and see the colors in person but I don't know when that would happen. I'm not totally sold on internet shopping. Especially if I get a brand that I've never had before. Okay enough with the whining!
It's raining now and has been since yesterday. We have about 1" in the rain gauge. This time of year rain is a mixed bag. We need rain for the row crops but with small grain harvest soon upon us we don't really need rain. Catch 22. DH got the winter wheat off by going late. We ate supper at about 1 am. And were in bed by maybe 1:30 or so. Yup. Late. Got it off before the rain came though. That's cool.
I haven't done any knitting for a couple days now and I'm starting to get a little twitchy. I've either got to do a little or start another book.
I bought the book "Julie and Julia". I would like to see the movie but I'm not sure that DH would be up for another chick flick so soon. We saw "The Proposal" when we were in Fargo. Actually it doesn't have great reviews but we both thought it was a pretty good movie. And I also got the book "Made in the USA". It starts out in SD and I get a kick out of books that are based in our area of the country. Any books that are about the tri state area usually get my attention. Anyway these books were buy 1 get 1 for 1/2 off and the clerk was good enough to do a override on the ticket and took $$ off both books because I have their store card (Borders). I'd be a really happy camper if there was a library in town so I wouldn't have to buy the books I read. Either that or if the books by mail through the state is still available. I've tried finding it on the internet with no success.
I've got vacuuming, clothes washing, dish washing, cat waterer cleaning and some cooking to do so maybe I should get off the computer and get on with it.
Oh yeah, the tv in the living room crapped out and we will need to replace that ASAP. DH is seriously tv addicted.
ETA: 3:15 pm. I just ordered Dream in Color Smooshy in Blue Lagoon. 2 skeins. For 2nd DDIL's shawl. I made a decision!!! Absolutely amazing.
