Shimmer

This has been a hectic weekend. Saturday, I ended up going to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, which was really awesome. I loved all the lasers, and pyro and the platforms and all the stage effects. The musicians were really awesome and you could tell that they were really passionate about their performance. I would definitely go to one of their shows again. I will probably end up a couple of their cds.
I was able to mail off three scarves for the Knit Your Bit campaign @ the National WWII Museum. It worked out well that way because the only box that I had left would only hold three scarves. The post office was a zoo so I ended up using the automated postage machine for the first time, which is really great if you have a small, normal package to mail.
Today, I went to the 11:15 am showing of Twilight. I am very pleased with how the movie turned and I will probably end up going to see it a second time in the theater. I have read the entire Twlight saga and I am pleased with how it transferred to the big screen. Hopefully, they will do a sequel, but that would only be good if they could get the other actors on board. It was also cool to figure out where they used certain songs that I had heard on the soundtrack prior to the movie. I loved Edward’s house and his bedroom. It was so cool and I really wish that I had his cd collection. I would talk more about the movie but I would hate to spoil it for anyone that would actually be reading this blog and wanting to see the movie.
I finally finished the knitted shawl from hell this weekend, so I ended up starting up some more veterans’ scarves out of some Vanna’s Choice yarn.
Anyways, this week is Thanksgiving week so it will be crazy because I am driving down to my parents’ house and my cranky sister is going to be flying in for the holiday so hopefully she doesn’t have any delayed flights.
In between all of that, I have been reading and crocheting mostly.
