Laborless Weekend

Posted by Virtuous at 9/01/2008

This was a really nice laid back weekend :o)

I got a nice pedicure and my nails polished in a new color,
then had a mini private concert in the comforts of my own living room with Commissioned Live! Haha!

Got some much needed rest by catching up on my sleep. I had major insomnia all last week.
So it felt good to be sleeping beauty over this extra day.

Sunday I went to a fun get together with some of my belly.dancing gurls...see for yourself:

We had a good time dishing dirt and laughing throughout the evening! :oD

I finally watched my netflix DVDs that were sitting on my counter for almost a month! One was good, one was stupid.

Awhile back I took part in the 40% sale on Knit.PicksStocked up on my EZ books, B.ordhi, and sock needles/cables...oh and some extra yarn I needed...ur um wanted.

I finally got off my extended knitting break from Ravelympics and picked up my needles again ;op

However, I had a little trial & error with picking up the neckline of my tank

it ended up puckering out...so I need to find some energy to rip it back out and try again...sigh

Also this right here

for a $1.98 Works!! My first time using some Fray Check on my Phenomenal Ripple to keep it togetha! :o)

Lately, I have been snatching up knit magazines like they are going to sell out!

Well let me go get some more rest before another work day creeps back up on me!

Have a FABULOUS week and September!

    Stacey, the food looks delicious. And this is coming from someone who knows good food when he see good food. I like how you had the food brought in by a catering service then turned around and placed it within pots and plates, so we would think that you cooked the food.

    THAT is smart.





    LOLOLOL.
    Hope you had a good weekend. I see that you were able to relax...

    Oh you had a good weekend, gathering with the ladies and catching up on sleep!!!
    Great magazine choices-i have all as well beside the Knitting one-i usually look at my mom's when she buys it. They usually come out all at the same time it hard not to go rushing out to gather them all. I love mags!!!!

    I love going to borders and gathering up all the knitting magazines to flick through while I drink my coffee. I know there's never going to be enough years in my life to complete everything but it's ok to dream.

    There's nothing like a little pampering to brighten the spirit. And what a great time for knitting stuff to come in the mail! Perfect for a long weekend.

    Good luck with the neckline. The color of that tank is so pretty, I hope you can fix it.
