| Who Got Kicked Off Big Brother 6 Tonight? |
Don't email me the answer to the above question, I'm going to watch my tape in about 20 minutes. I'm just eager to see who leaves. I'm rooting for one group more than another so I can't wait to know who wins HOH.
And that ends the reality TV portion of this post. :)
To Ruby from the comments: Yes, I will be back at the MKG this year. I look forwards to it every month, plus this year I'm updating the website.
To Dorothy from the comments: Thank you for visiting me! I debated posting more about the ring, but I don't want to talk too much about it yet since we're not engaged yet. Once the ring is bought, the dad is asked, and I'm finally asked, I'll post all about it and even a photo. I feel like a jinx if I go on about it too much now, before there's a reason to. Like for example on the drive back from Toronto we started talking about bridesmaid's colors, and I realized I really don't want to start planning a wedding until there's a wedding to plan. But trust me, as soon as it happens I won't be able to keep from posting about it!
Speaking of Toronto, that's where we were all weekend. Bernie and Yafit's wedding was Sunday, so Yannick and I drove down Friday right after work. We arrived around 1:30 am at my aunt's house.
Saturday we spent at the Ex. We didn't see the kid who fell off the Zipper and was caught by the crowd, but we did cave and buy a Bamix hand blender at the home show. I love those "As Seen On TV" things! We also ate more junk food than I will admit. :)
Sunday was the wedding, and in the evening we went to visit an old friend of mine, Jessica, from Montreal who moved to TO after she got married. Then we took my aunt out for dinner at an Italian place somewhere around Eglington or Bathurst.
We spent Monday at Canada's Wonderland and I proved that I am the Queen of Whack-A-Mole and beat out about 15 people (all male) to win a Stewie doll. (For those of you who haven't enjoyed one of the best shows ever, Stewie is the baby from Family Guy, a cartoon that was cancelled and then finally brought back to TV after DVD sales of the first 2 seasons exploded.)
We stopped at a Michael's since there are none here and I bought 2 skeins of Homespun to go with the 1 I already have to make a shawl. I can't believe I left Michael's and only spent $16. I must have been sick.
Finally as we were driving back we saw the sign for Brockville and decided to surprise Julie and Rich, whose apartment we've never seen, and whose address, it turned out, we didn't have. Much calling around later, we were able to surprise them and go out for coffee for a bit. By the time we got home Monday night it was 1:30 am. Circle complete.
I kinda bought myself a bit of a reprieve in my knitting since the big wedding was this weekend and the gifts weren't done, so I will send them up with my aunt when she comes in for the Jewish holidays later on this year. Because I have some (temporary) time free, I'm rushing to get Jackie and Kevin's baby outfit done before the shower on Sept. 18.
I'm making a set in Mandarin Petit. The jacket is blue variegated, the pants are white and the socks are one of the blues from the jacket. I have leftover variegated so I might make an extra pair of socks if there's time. There's also a cute eyelet zigzag pattern in all items. If you have the Mandarin Petit books it's the one with the baby in blue with plaid on the cover. The outfit I'm making is pictured in all white. I'd show off some photos here but I don't have a digital camera any more. |
