Mardi (tres) Gras

Has it been a week already? Man oh man, time flies when you're not paying attention....

This past weekend, I helped my sister and brother-in-law move to a fabulous new place. They were both so excited, and rightly so - it's big and bright, there's lots of room, and several people can stand in the kitchen and swing their arms at the same time and not hit each other! (At the old house, maybe one person could do that, but there was a good chance they would hit the walls.) Because almost everything got done on Saturday, I came home on Sunday.

Yesterday was spent entertaining and being entertained by a co-worker's friend who was in town. We made it out to the Korean restaurant in town, where we were pleased to discover (or at least, I was) that they serve a variety of Asian dishes, including Pad Thai, Vietnamese spring rolls (oh so tasty!), dumplings, and some curry dishes. And bubble tea - sweet, sweet bubble tea! How I've missed you and your tapioca beady goodness!

Last night was the East Coast Music Awards. I thought I wrote last year about how much I love them, but I think I was hallucinating about writing it. Anyways... they were hosted by the Trailer Park Boys, and the whole thing stank. I watched maybe ten minutes, and it was a painful ten minutes, let me tell you.

Now I'm going to work on my sockapaloooza socks. I've decided I'm going to do the Jaywalker pattern.

Is that a propeller in your pocket?

(Or are you happy to see me?)

Okay, wacky title for a ten minute post, but it's the best I can come up with at the moment.

I finished my knitting olympics project on... Saturday night? Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Saturday night. The handwarmers, they are done - read more about it here.

This Friday I'm heading to Guelph to help my sister and brother-in-law move, weather permitting. I mean, for my drive down, not the move - that's going on, regardless of whether or not my sorry ass is there to help them. Anyways. My mother has already claimed me for the unpacking-and-organizing-the-kitchen team, as well as lunch crew. My job is to keep my sister fed so that she doesn't get cranky. Although, I suspect she's going to get irritated with me eventually if I keep following her around with a tray of muffins, telling her that it's been ten minutes since I last saw her eat something, and isn't it time she eat something else, and don't these muffins I made just for her look delicious?

The Olympics are almost over, which makes me a little sad. I'm a bit of a junkie now - I get up and watch for a little while before getting ready for work, then I watch when I get home from work. I'm very happy the women's hockey team won the gold medal, and I'm pretty happy with our output in general.

Wow - I didn't really accomplish much in that ten minutes, did I?
