I feel like I am so busy all the time I don't even have time to blog anymore. I am probably blowing this way out of proportion, but I need a day to just relax and sit on the couch. I know it would be boring for all of you, but I would love it. So once again I am trying to fit this post in before I leave for my shoot.
Yesterday started out innocently enough without much happening, but then I decided I wanted to try and finish knitting the hat for my sister. I sat on the couch with the TV low in the background and started a fresh hat that I could give my sister. It took me about three hours to finish it, but finish it I did. My hand didn't even cramp up this time. I guess all I needed to do was more knitting for some quality hand exercises. And don't worry I didn't fuck the hat up this time. It was the perfect size. As I was knitting I kept thinking it was going to be way too big, but I kept on and in the end it was perfect.
After knitting I had to get ready to go to my Great Uncle's 80th birthday dinner. Ando wanted me to go down to Publico to set up a camera with him, but I didn't have time for that. I needed to get ready since I had to try to be a little girly. I even put make-up on!
Dinner was far away in Mason, past Kings Island, at the Houston Inn. Ando described it best for all you west siders out there, Dante's on the north side of town. Basically it is an old people restaurant. It was pretty much everything I expected from the place, food wise and people wise. The best part of the night was sitting near Ando, my sis, my bro and his wife, and one of my cousins. Keep in mind I only have two cousins on this side of my family and one is in Iraq.
When dinner was over cake was served, after singing Happy Birthday of course. I got up to go to the bathroom, in a cave I might add. They need to add another light in their bathroom so you can see what you are doing. When I came back everyone had cake in front of them and I got the piece with three roses made of icing on it. I think they did it on purpose. I hate lots of icing on cake; that is why I usually really hate wedding cake, it is all icing. Needless to say I took all of the flowers off and most of the other icing before enjoying my piece. Presents were opened, and I looked like a cheap skate. I didn't know what to get a man who has everything on his 80th birthday, so lottery tickets in a card it was. Everyone else had this same idea or booze. One gift was 80 lottery tickets, how am I supposed to top that. I can only hope that one of my tickets holds a million dollar prize and I look like the real gift giver in it all. Oh well, it's the thought that counts, or at least that is what I was always told.
After dinner Ando and I headed down to Publico for the "Fade to Black" portion of the gallery closing. It was a bunch of movies by local people and some other bizarre rarely seen movies. Some were not so good and there was more standing around waiting for things to get started. My patients is starting to run thin on waiting around for everything to happen. The final movie was good, called The Beaver Trilogy. It was really funny and starred Sean Penn and Crispin Glover before they were famous.
When that was finished at midnight we headed home for some tea and Amazing Race. I really didn't care who won, but I was rooting a little for TK and Rachel, who pulled it out in the end. I am starting to get sick of these long days, a nice short post about nothing is needed and I think for you just as much for me.
Ando pumped my gas in the cold, only one nice thing can happen in a day, no ring.
