Fierce!

I bought Project Runway Season 4 on DVD this weekend and I have been saying fierce! a lot without even realizing it. It’s such a fun word to say.
It has been a stormy weekend. It was pouring a ton Friday evening after I got off work and people tend to drive like idiots when it is dark and stormy, so I didn’t do as many errands Friday night as I normally would have.
Saturday morning I slept in until almost 9 AM, which is a big deal for me. I went into the big city to go to a LYS to get a skein of yarn for the Starbucks & Yarn swap. I don’t want to say what kind just in case my spoilee reads this before the package arrives. I went to the Whole Foods next door and ended up getting a couple of Christmas presents for friends from their Body section. I also went to Quail Ridge Books & Music, which is this really awesome independent bookstore. I ended up purchasing two books from them and I just find it really refreshing to go to their store and browse through their selection and their staff is really nice too.
After my trip down indy-land I went to the big-a** mall. I needed to pick up some Christmas presents at Crate & Barrel which I HEART very much. I made it to the mall at 10:30 so they hadn’t been open very long and it was already hell. I am so over holiday shopping. I told my mom that I was ordering everyone else’s presents off the internet. I did order her an extra set of Denise cords and an extra 13 inch tips for her Denise circular set like she wanted. My dad is getting a gift card to BN because that will make him happy and I’m not finished with my sister’s yet, but I did buy her some goodies at Crate today.
But, I did get a box at Crate so I was able to mail my swap package off because Target was out of the tiny sized boxes when I looked Friday night. I was really proud of myself because my only purchases at the mall were lunch at Chick Fil A and my Crate goodies.
Then I came home and packed up my swap goodies, mailed them off and then went to BN to look for a magazine for my Mom that she had asked me to find and I lucked out because they had it.
This evening in between the rain storms, just as the sun was setting there was a really fierce rainbow, clear as day, that spanned the whole sky and it was the coolest thing in the world to see because it was so natural and you don’t always get to see the full rainbow and Sunshine and I have this thing about rainbows. Unfortunately, I was out shopping sans phone and camera, so I didn’t get to take a picture.
This week is going to be exciting. Twilight the movie comes out and Thanksgiving is just around the corner. I am looking forward to seeing my sister and having time off from work but the drive down to Charlotte is really going to suck with all the traffic.
While I was at the yarn store, I fell in love with Mission falls 1824 Wool and ended up buying three skeins of this deep purple to make myself a simple scarf with. It is so soft and I just loved the color and the price is nice. I am almost finished with skein 2.
I’m not really sure what my plans for Sunday are. I know I will make my pilgrimage to Starbucks. It’s more fun going now that I have my Starbucks Gold membership. I will probably also be reading some of the FIVE BOOKS that I purchased this weekend. Oops. At least I share my books with my friends (well the trust worthy book lovers only). Reading is the perfect activity for crappy weather and I had some coupons this weekend to use at Borders so it was all good.
