We went to the movies today and, luckily, I had a sock in my purse. It was, oh, not out of the goldish color yet when we went into the theater, and all the rest, I did during the movie. I do love being able to knit in the dark! And I’m liking this color, too. It’s Meilenweit “Mega Boots Stretch” in color 702. I’ve had it in my stash for a few years now and figured it was time it got used.

Oh, and if you look really closely at the background of that picture, you’ll see my other knitting project–the one that doesn’t have a name, a pattern, or anything terribly specific. I’m kind of making it up as I go along, and so can’t really tell you what it’s going to be. Or if it’s going to come out as I hope, which is why I’m not being more specific. Why get anybody’s hopes up, mine included? (grin). It sure looks lovely, though. SUCH a pretty color.

The movie? “Wall-E” which I enjoyed quite a bit, Mom thought was okay but disappointing, and which kept putting Dad asleep. (No, I didn’t understand that, either.) The little Pixar short film (Presto) before the movie was adorable, too–I sometimes look forward to those more than to the actual movies!

Otherwise? Mom and I checked out the Aldi’s grocery store that just opened this week, and then went to A&P to pick up stuff for Chappy’s birthday cake. Because, of course, my boy deserves a birthday cake! I’m making him carrot cake, which all of us like. Besides, he loves carrots, why wouldn’t he love carrot CAKE? (Hey, I used to make our mini-dachshund Jilly a cheesecake every year because I figured she loved cheese above all things, so it had to be her favorite. Sadly, I didn’t have time to figure out the perfect birthday cake for Katy–I had so been looking forward to coming up with “Katy-cakes,” since it was my favorite nickname for her.) Anyway, I’m using the recipe I tried last month and will be doing that tomorrow.

No fireworks or picnics for us tomorrow–we’re doing all our celebrating on Saturday when my sister comes down. Chappy’s just dreading tomorrow night–all those fireworks, you know. Those of you in the US, have a good holiday tomorrow!
