Sup FList
Happy birthday, angelwifey. Did you get your gift?
I really thought about updating yesterday, but instead, I redid my website. I apparently code better after taking two Ambien. I actually managed to get 90% of the site done before bed. I only really made one error, which probably means more like 15 that other people will notice and I won't. The only thing that sucked is I could not remember how to make a non-repeating, fixed background image that isn't CSS.
We had Elliott this week-end and he was ground. 'Nuff said there.
We went to see my grandparents today. Steven and my grandfather holed up in the basement doing something with a tape recorder, while my grandmother and I sat upstairs and talked. I finished my scarf while I was there, but I left it in the car, I think. It looks good, though, and I'm really glad I decreased in the middle (ends are 30 sts and the middle is 21 sts). It would've been too thick otherwise. Anyhow, it's about 5' long, 4 skeins of Bernat Galaxy, running me a grand total of $8.
91 days till Christmas. No one's getting cards this year, I think.
We fed the weird goosen in Riverside. They've all moved from East Bay to the little pond by Schroeders and we had leftover bread. They were surprisingly chummy and chatty, versus the usual hissing and honking. One of them let me pet her. Anyhow, there was a group of about 9 that were log-rolling in the water and splashing, feet skyward. I'm not sure what was with because, seriously, it's not a behaviour I'd ever seen and I had the goosen as pets for 7 years. Apparently, it felt really good, since they and a good number of ducks were doing it.
We stopped at glorious Emerald Square Mall on the way home because I needed pants. $156 later, I left Penney's with two pairs of pants, a couple tops, some jewelry, and a new sweater. Steven and I had lots of fun playing "Cute or Maternity?" since there are so many empire waisted, flowy tops and dresses this season. Torrid was having 50% of clearance, so I found a really cute corset laced skirt and a pair of polka dot PJ pants there. I saw shoes I liked, but they only had sizes 10 and up. I then went on a mostly fruitless quest for threader earring which, despite being allegedly very popular, are no where to be found. The cute, punky girl in Claire's found me one pair and I ended up buying two more pairs, one to match a necklace I bought a couple weeks ago and some little 3D snowflakes. Steven found a couple shirts and some cheap ties.
I really need a new wallet. I saw a nice one, but I was not about to pay $18 for it. So cheap.
I think I'm going to be a pin-up girl for Halloween, even though we probably won't go anywhere. Well, Alex and Joy invited us to their Halloween party, but that's not on Halloween. Anyhow, yes, cheap costume from things I already own.
Oh and I saw the cutest puppy ever at the mall tonight. I know mall pet store are evil, but oh my God, the kyoot, it burned. This yellow lab had fallen asleep on his back and it was the most adorable thing over. I love puppy bellies. We also saw a sleeping Boston and a little Cairn terrier that was 547 kinds of excited!puppy, but nothing will ever rival the kyoot of the lab puppy. Seriously, if cute cured sickness, this puppy would've been the next coming of God.
I should definitely go to the registry tomorrow since I am not working. I should also shave my legs. It is not going to be as warm tomorrow, which kind of sucks. Cat and I so should swap weather. Stupid cold.
I have a new icon. I totally ganked the idea from someone who I'd credit if I could remember who it was.
