on the brink

of exhaustion, that is. this past weekend was such a whirlwind of events; i hardly had time to breathe at all. there were 2 bbqs, a birthday bar thing, helping a friend pack to move far away, and a going away dinner. not to mention that half of that took place in orange county (traffic gods, why have thou foresaken me?) compounded with not sleeping well (imagine dreams with maniacs wielding chainsaws), the heat, and staying at work an hour late today and you have one pooped puppy. i'm not complaining, though, as i had a good time this weekend. but really i just want a weekend to sit and chillax (as my friend would say) and, oh i don't know, knit. i'll spare the details but here are some pics from the weekend:


that's jana with the magic bullet (not to be confused with the silver bullet). it's hard to explain but it's sort of like a mini blender. there's an infomercial.


sniff sniff both koren and adrienne (my roomie) are leaving me for the east coast.


and that's cindy the dog. she's so cute but you can't leave food face level or she'll go for it.

but i have been thinking about knitting at least. i had to pry myself away from the computer tonight not to buy some more yarn. it took a lot but i NEED to save money. and hello- i have way too much yarn. i need to just tell myself that there will always be another sale, right? and all the fall mags are coming out and it's just getting me excited. did you see the new fall yarns from knitpicks? i think i might order the color cards with my paycheck next week. it's almost as good as buying yarn. and if i just have to buy something else to get me past the $30 free shipping, well then so be it.

and my roommate is moving out this week so the house is a mess. it's sad she's going but i wish her luck in boston (i hear there's some great yarn over there- hint hint). well it's time for my bed now. sweet dreams everyone. let's hope i dream about piles of yarn tonight. :)
