Yesterday Mr. Lady and I went on what I think I can only call a “date”. It was the day after our 28th wedding anniversary. I will not quibble. He did go grocery shopping and made a Baked Ziti (recipe from America’s Test Kitchen) on the actual day and then did some laundry too.
Anyway, yesterday we saw Inception. ***It was the best movie I have seen in a long time.*** If that was not mind bending enough we came forth from 3 hours in the dark theater into the light of a thunderstorm. What is it with wind and rain, thunder and sunlight all combined? Very surreal. Still not all. As we were driving away, in the VW Beetle with new front shoes, there was a rainbow. Not just any rainbow, no way, because we had just seen that crazy movie it had to be a special rainbow. In fact it was the brightest double rainbow I have ever seen. Did you know that the colors in double rainbows reverse themselves? Physics rears its complex head again. There were people in other cars but most were on cell phones and driving. We were not quite like this guy though. We went to Chipotle. It was not too much after all that weirdness. And it was not in our front yard this time. Then we went home and walked Suziedog who was most grateful.
I have been working on some knitting. Doing sort of a KAL with my sorority sisters of knitting, the TNKers: Tuesday Night Knitters, most of whom are knitting an honorary EZ piece. 100th bday you know. I started the BSJ a couple of times and just was not feeling it. So I took out a cone of LB 1878 from the local pharmacy (??) and began the Stonington Shawl (Ravelry link). Pretty easy, I decided to jazz up the center square with the eyelet. The yarn is some that I bought for weaving stash and is knitting very nicely. It is a soft 4 ply, fingering weight, probably from South America somewhere.
In an impromptu weaving burst, a new warp was wound onto the LeClerc and is deciding how to be threaded. I say that because I was just going to thread it for plain weave but decided to throw in some basketweave stripes. See, it is still deciding. The warp consists of some “sport weight” knitting yarns that have been hanging around me for a while. The solids were bought and started as a sweater from an Interweave Knits some (more than 10) years ago. The multi was bought at the yarn swap/sale a few months ago. We will see what comes of it.
All of my bruises are resolving. It has been about a month since the freakish incident. The only residual seems to be that my hand, where I didn’t even realize there was a bruise at first, continues to bother me. It will throw out a purple tinge every now and then and become sore from nothing in particular. That is the bone I think I cracked. Thanks to everyone for all of your good wishes! I really appreciate it.
And the Emperor is not so sure about me using his bedroom for weaving.
Baked ziti AND laundry. He really is repenting!!
Wow, is this behavior trainable? Happy Anniversary! Did you like Inception?
Good going on getting the warp done.
We’ve had double RB here and they are always a wonder, but then again, the single ones are too.
Yes Theresa there was some advance training. I LOVED Inception.
So Inception is worth the ticket price? I’ve been wondering. It sure looks interesting. Isn’t the Emperor just gorgeous, my goodness. He’s come a long way.
The double rainbow guy? OMG! I wonder what he was on. I wondered if maybe he’d recently had a horrible tragedy and this was his “sign”. I felt confused, inspired, worried for him. I’ve seen double rainbows before–I always get a little excited and awe-struck by rainbows but not to the point of tears and somewhat graphic moaning, LOL!
Jeanne, I think so about the ticket price. You absolutely could not get the effects at home on a TV. And I am not usually a special effects gal. More a costume drama gal really.
Yeah, that guy was on something for real.
Congrats on your anniversary. It sounded like a good night. Mmmm. Baked ziti. Baked by someone else.
Yes Pat, Baked Ziti, like tossed salad, always tastes better when make by someone else!
