Looking Forward to the Weekend

Once I get through this work week, I have some fun things to do on Saturday and Sunday. Oh, but first, on Friday, I'm going to lunch with my friend to Cafe Asia. Since I'm doing sushi on Saturday with Sara, I'll get something else to eat. This place has a nice variety of Asian-style foods, so it's not just limited to sushi.

Saturday a.m. get hair cut and colored; after Sara is done with her yoga class, we will go to Niko's for a sushi lunch. Dave and I might to to Turf Valley for the hot-air balloon festival going on. Apparently, that is part of the Preakness celebration for the race at Pimlico.

Sunday is a riding lesson; we will move jumps, etc. into the small field and do some xc training at Cathy's. Sara wants to get some jumps going with Satchmo so they can both get used to higher jumps and being in the field. I might be riding Galaxy; not sure about that, yet.

Yesterday I forgot my lunch - no wonder my bag was so light! I ended up having a parfait for a snack and then some egg salad (no bread) for lunch. Not great choices, but filling, nonetheless.

Today's schedule is more of the same - filing, filing, and more filing. If I don't file on any given day, there must be something wrong with the time continuum.

My yellow/coal gloves - really half gloves - are coming along nicely. I'm using alpaca, and it is a) the softest yarn I've used; and b) really, really easy to work with. I have about 10-15 rows to go before I do a few rows of ribbing, then bind off. No fingers on this! Not sure how to do the fingers, anyway. Something else to worry about at a later date. I've decided I don't like the wooden DPNs that I'm using, but even if I ordered a different kind of needle, I know the gauge would be off even if the size is the same. So, I will have to suffer through with the needles until the half gloves are done.

Once I've finished the gloves, I'm on to another project. I bought some really pretty grey and mauve yarn to make a pullover.
