Yesterday was the perfect Fall day and then this morning I woke up to a downpour. I had such a busy day yesterday. We had our department picnic at the lake. There was games of catchphrase and cornhole (a bean bag toss game). Chicken and steak kabobs. Chocolate mousse cake. Accountants might not make it out of the office much, but when we do, it’s in style. Later that night I went to an Asian Bistro in town with some co-workers and we saw the movie W. Disclaimer: All of us who attended the movie were liberal Democrats. The movie was good, Oliver Stone movies never disappoint me but this movie was 2 ½ hours and I think it could’ve been at least 30 minutes shorter. It also didn’t help that we went to the 9 o’clock showing.
I am still on a Charlaine Harris kick. This week I read the first three books in the Harper Connelly series, which was also really good. I just wish her books didn’t have such a long waiting list to read them at the library. I also finished reading Gregory Maguire’s A Lion Among Men which was very good. I really hope he writes another one and my vote is Glinda for the next one.
I finished the Colonial shawl. I am almost finished with skein 2 on the Covered Bridge Red shawl. This is Homespun, of course, and the shade of red does reminded me of the faded red covered bridges back in my home state of Iowa. This will be the fifth shawl I’ve made since I last visited my Mom back in October. We have all the shawls made for the nursing home Christmas party but we are making extra in case they have more residents or in case they need to give some to church members.
