I've had a good day. It's a Sunday. I didn't have to go to work, and I slept late. So I was already pre-disposed to have a good day. Add to the aforementioned that I had a chance to visit with my parents, planted some flowers, and had a bit of knitting time, and you'll know that I had a good day.
So with the knitting thing - ... I should perhaps mention this is the third sweater I've attempted. The first, well, it's pink. It's pretty. It's this lovely mohair with a cotton blend. It also happens to fit my 6'8, 300 + lb brother. The second one, well, it's a lovely varigated wool. The body fits me, but the sleeves belong to the 6'8 brother. This current one! It's a wool / silk blend, and seems like it will fit. Keep your fingers crossed and maybe I'll post a picture of the "sweater that fits".
The parental visit. I carefully did not mention anything related to wedding plans. Have I mentioned I hate wedding planning? The fella and I had a meeting on Friday with our preferred venue, the public library. We thought, ok, perfect, reasonable cost for room rental, non-denominational = perfect for us, and the library, what can go wrong? I'll just tell you, 6,000.000 for catering, that can go wrong. That and the comment, "you're planning a classy Halloween theme wedding, I hope?"
Let me just say my ideal wedding does not include a grand entrance, or a cake cutting ceremony, or spending 163.00$ per person on catering, or anything resembling a perfect day. It involves the Bride of Frankenstein, Butterfly wings, and Luke Skywalker all in the same photo on a dance floor. Needless to say, we're looking at other options.
On the work front, someone please remind me to post about the brains in jars. It's worth its' own story, but I'm not up to it today. Too fresh in the memory.
We bought a bean bag chair! I know I'm totally anti-bringing stuff into the house right now theory, but the bean bag is totally comfortable. For a while though, I feared. It came in separate parts. These parts involved a nice black covering - totally necessary for the matching the apartment vibe. Anyway, the bean bag shipped with two separate vaccuum packed foam pouches. They were origionally about 2X4. I put them in the lovely black microsuade covering and let them sit. Let me tell you, those suckers grew. I feared for my carpeting, I feared for my live in fella, I feared for the entire side room. It kept growing. It's like the blob moved in. However, it is super comfortable. It's also stopped growing. I think.... I hope.... Arghhh! Help! I'm being swallowed...
In a side note - I hate wedding planning. This is all. Cheers! B.

Wow. I'm assuming that this woman's (assuming that snide comment was made by woman)version of "classy" would be different than the one you or I might give.
