...and then i really got into ice skating...

i'ts been a brilliant weekend that is too soon coming to an end. on friday night, sheena and i went over to the new mashti malone's ice cream shop in glendale. it's the same as the hollywood one, only newer and with cute chairs. if you've never been there, they've got great ice cream flavors made of natural ingredients. they are famous for their rosewater flavor, among other things. i had a scoop or green tea and some mocha almond fudge. i think sheena got the rosewater and the butter pecan. i would definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for something different and delicious.

saturday was spent doing a little shopping. sheena wanted to get a digital camera for her brother, since prices in america are so cheap, and we found a nice one at best buy. then off to old town pasadena to take a look at the shops. i bought this really cute paul frank ipod cover, but sadly it's a tad small for my 60bg pod and it doesn't have an opening at the bottom for the usb jack. argh- so i am guessing that i will have to return it. poo to that.

and this morning i went to san gabriel with friends because we heard that there was a good dim sum restaurant there called mission 261. although the place looked cool, we were extremely disappointed with the food and service. the dim sum was average at best and the service was so poor. we probably won't be back.

now for a big shout out to amy of good to be girl, my wonderful secret pal. it's been so great having her as my secret pal, as i have been spoiled rotten. and i was lena's secret pal, a wonderful person and great knitter. check out their blogs if you get a chance! now look what amy sent me:

the stuff was packaged so beautifully that i didn't want to open it, but i did. amy made these great tags. aren't they lovely? other ones had fun sayings on them like "yum" and "hi." what else? look at my loot!

there's some gorgeous soap and a cute candle in there, along with rowan felted tweed, noro, koigu, lamb's pride worsted, and some of the new knitpicks andean treasure. i loooove alpaca and this feels wonderful. i will definitely have to order myself some. thanks, amy!

i also got some yarn in the mail today. (sheepish look) i did a small de-stash trade with someone and got this.

it's 8 skeins of bartlett yarns wool in delft blue. it's a bit rough but i like it. i have no idea what i am making with it but now i have it. not much knitting done this weekend to tell the truth. there's been too much running around. i started on the left front of the ribbed cardi and did a bit of work on cyd last wednesday. progress pics to come. i hope you all had a nice of a weekend as i did.

p.s.- watched criminal tonight and diego lunda is just too adorable. love him.
