The blogger behind Eskimimi Knits came up with a fun idea:

Every day for the coming week, all participants will write about a predetermined set of topics (starting out, an inspirational pattern, one great knitter, stay tuned for the rest). I’m going to try to participate, even though (a) Monday I won’t get home until after 9, (b) Tuesday I’ll get home even later, and (c) the coming weekend, my daughter Marnie will be here for the wedding-dress-fitting etc. In fact, I may go ahead and pre-write some of them, and queue them up for automatic posting.

Anyway – my trip to the Catskills was a mix of things. I was caught in awful traffic heading upstate for some weird reason. It took as long to go 20 miles as it should’ve taken to make the whole trip. I was very distracted by details surrounding my fall vacation to Laos. And then, the thing that’s most reliable – incredible pizza at Brio’s, in Phoenicia – was bad. I ordered baked clams for an appetizer…..clam mush, very gross. My pizza came within a few minutes of  ordering it, and it was lukewarm. So Friday was kind of a flop. Saturday I had a very bad headache due to allergies, but the weather was beautiful and meds knocked the headache out mostly. I piddled around, ate an ok breakfast at Brio’s, drove to Hunter and walked around the Hunter Mountain Ski Resort, drove to Woodstock and poked around my favorite little shops (but Woodstock Quilt Supply was closed, no sign of where it went! What happened?!), and then spent the rest of the afternoon lounging around. Dinner at Brio’s, not bad.

So home for the afternoon, time to relax and snooze and knit and maybe watch a good movie. I hope your weekend is giving you time for the same!
