My total is 124. Truly, there are a lot of crappy movies on here that I'm embarassed to admit I've seen. But I hardly think this means I have no life. How does one equate watching movies with having no life? I'm waiting for the book list that says, "if you've read over 5 of the following 1000 books you have no life."

Longies!

I started and finished these this weekend. It took less than one skein of Malabrigo. I like 'em.

No Sir, I Don't Like It.

Dammit! I had the heel done for my new RPM socks, tried it on and saw this:

What is going on with the heel?!? Let's take a closer look.

Agh!!! It's all wierd and pointy! This was my first time making a short row heel, and I have to say it sort of sucked. Not that I won't try again some other time, but I think the reinforcement thread really made the pointy issue worse here. So I frogged the heel and started a good ol' trusty flap heel. Sigh.

This is what I felt like upon having to start the heel over:

This was Marley's reaction when I kept trying to take a picture of him in his kennel this weekend. I never got the photo I wanted though. Why was I pestering the poor guy so much? Well, take a look at this photo.

Notice anything in this photo that wasn't in the last? That's right. That blue tube thing is there! Well, when Josh and I got home from the store on Saturday, we saw Marley in his kennel with that blue tube stuck on his arm. He's covering it with his head in the first pic. He was super embarassed that he got his toy stuck on his arm. It wasn't really "stuck" though. When he stood up, it fell right off. Thus the second photo. I think I made him feel worse with the camera and all the hysterical laughing, but it was so damn funny. I wish I'd gotten a better pic.

Final SP10 Contest! Three Yarns...

So the final SP10 contest requires I list three yarns I'm dying to get my hands on... I don't have specific types, per say, but here's what I'd like to try out:

1. Qiviet--but really, who doesn't want this?
2. Targhee wool
3. Corriedale

I have not yet tried any of these, although Corriedale, or even Targhee for that matter, is not all that difficult to find. They are a little on the pricey side, especially the Qiviet (!), so they're on the wish list rather than in the stash.

Anniversary celebration

So yesterday was our anniversary. One whole year. Seems like longer, but I'm sure that's because we've actually been together for six years.

We woke up yesterday and decided to have our wedding cake for breakfast. Here it is before being cut:

It was surprisingly good for having sat in the freezer for a year. No freezer burn or anything. It DID taste kinda like it had some liqour in it, which it didn't last year, but it was still good. The only kinda yucky thing about it--and it wasn't even yucky, really--was that the cake itself was a little dry. But I'm tellin' ya, it was STILL better than most fresh wedding cake I've had. I think that's a testament to the incredible baker we had. Yummy, yummy.

Last night we had dinner at the Melting Pot. We don't usually go for chain restaurants, but I love fondue like crazy, and we enjoy the Melting Pot a great deal. I was a little sad I couldn't eat as much as I wanted to. I kept trying to convince Eli to move down so I'd have more room in my tummy for the deliciousness. He would not cooperate.

Josh gave me a gift for our "paper" anniversary. He's so sweet and romantic. Unlike him, I did not buy a gift because I'm lame and I didn't think we were exchanging gifts. I told him this and he insisted I not go out and buy him something because, he says, my gifts for him are always so awesome and he's trying to catch up. I think he's wrong about the awesomesness of his gifts for me. Check it out:

It's a do-it-yourself photo album from Paper Source! I'd been eyeing this for almost a year now. He picked out the paper and book tape for the project. He knows how much I love those colors. They're sort of our wedding colors. The photo album is to be for pictures of just the two of us and he wants us to pick the photos together. I told you he was romantic.
