Everything I need...

I had a good day today, fairly busy - I left just after 9:30 and didn't get home until 4. I went shopping with a friend and her mum, we went to Go-Lo, Big W and Spotlight. I bought Christmas things at Go-Lo, some summer nighties, DVDs and chocolates at Big W and some more # 10 thread, some beads and a few jewellery findings from Spotlight. They had some nice yarn on sale but I couldn't really justify purchasing any more.

I picked up my package earlier this morning from the Post Office and I made a necklace with the wire and some pearls before I left for shopping. It's not fancy (just beaded chains) but it's quite pretty and I am very pleased with it. Crocheting with wire feels funny (that would be strange funny)...and I desperately need to work on my 'finishing techniques' such as they are, I broke the wire twice trying to get the clasp on and it's more luck than anything else that is keeping it together. I made some 'matching' earrings when I got home (matching the necklace individually but not quite matching each other). It's not a bad looking set. I will get some photos when I can.

I am almost finished the first ball of Romance for the project I am working on so I am looking forward to spending some time tonight making more progress. I am giving the hankies a miss while I'm still feeling like poo. I don't think it was a good idea to spend so much time outdoors today, I got rained on and I feel miserable again. I will have a nice, warm shower and put a nice, new nightie on and then I will get into bed (covered with a nice, new bedspread that I couldn't resist today and new sheets I bought ages ago but never got around to putting on my bed) and I will crochet until I am too sleepy to crochet any more and then I will sleep. It sounds like a fantastic plan to me, best idea I've had in at least a day. I must add that it is made even more fabulous by the other idea I have had, which is eating chocolate while I'm doing everything else (except, possibly, the shower part - although I'm willing to give it a shot). I can't taste anything except for coffee and chocolate - just as well those are my two major "food groups" of choice and a staple of my daily diet (if not my entire daily diet).

Before I go: hello Dragon Mad Knitter, nice to 'officially' meet you! I read a lot of your blog this morning but I am not sure where I'm up to - would like to see more photos, of course, but who am I to demand photos? Please show PCB soon! I am waiting for Spoilee to receive her package before I reveal myself (I always feel a bit...odd...when I say that, like some kind of perverted old man who is just waiting for the right opportunity to flash his bits and pieces at an unsuspecting soul). It would seem I am not shy about making people wait...
