March Madness

As of right now, I have completed 60 squares for the afghan of awesomeness and I have 12 left to go which I am hoping that I can finish either later tonight or Sunday. It is sunny here this weekend, but the temperature is in the low 50s/upper 40s so it’s like you have to turn the heat on part of the time, which sucks because I have been spoiled living here.
Friday I took the afternoon off. I mainly ran errands and picked up additional colors of Red Heart Eco-Ways so I could start my next afghan. I was able to get Torchwood Season One at my local Borders this week for 40% off which is a huge deal because it is a BBC show, and it retails for like $80 full price. Friday night I went to G’s house for game night. We ate Mexican food (which was good but really didn’t agree with me for some reason) and then we played Scattergories which hilarious. We also went shoe shopping which was initiated by the guys. We went to DSW and I was looking through the clearance racks to see if I could find a pair of work shoes that were comfortable and would last longer than three months. I found a pair of Mary Janes made by Naturalizer that were black and were 50% off of $59 so that was a good deal and they are black and comfy and I can’t wait to wear them to work this week.
This morning, my stupid internal time clock woke me up at 8:30 am even though I didn’t go to bed until 1:30 am and so I decided to drive over to Target and get Twilight on DVD since I didn’t attend any of the release parties Friday night. Note: Robert Pattinson is on the cover of the new GQ (US edition) looking vampy hot with the skinny tie! After Target, I hopped over to Starbucks for a white mocha and the caffeine seemed to help heal the sleep deprivation. Afterwards, I went over to Tiny Library and put in a bunch of holds on books I want to read and I checked out a Michael Pollan book and Haunted Heart: The Life and Times of Stephen King by Lisa Rogan.
So I’ve mostly spent today crocheting squares for the afghan of awesomeness. G and H2 helped me figure out what color order to put the squares in. I have also been reading a lot too. I finally finished reading Flannery by Brad Gooch (Flannery O’Connor biography) and Stardust by Neil Gaiman. I am also in the process of reading several other books currently but if I list them all in my blog, my loyal readers might fall asleep and then I would also have to confess how much time I spend with a book in my lap and a crochet hook in my hand simultaneously. I am also sad that Flight of the Conchords season 2 is almost over. I really really really really hope that there will be a season 3.
