new stuff

We had a date last nite and ate at Pastabilities. Very good food, reasonable prices. I had pasta with italian sausage and peppers, it was much better than the Olive Garden! Bob had the manicotti and it was really yummy too. For dessert I had the tiramisu and Bob had key lime pie. It was quite tasty, and they both had lots of whipped cream on them. It was great!

So after that we went to Target to see if we could get some new stuff. We ended up getting several dog toys for Jasper (a blue football made out of the same stuff they use to make fire hoses!) and some sheets made of T-shirt material! The great thing about the sheets is they are only $20 for the set. (bottom sheet, top sheet, 2 pillowcases) I haven't tried them out yet but I'm washing them today. I'm so excited!

Chain Story #2

The rain was falling harder now. Daniel pulled his coat tighter around him as he hurried along the empty street. Finally, he reached the small, brown building that was his destination and quickly opened the door to go inside. A small bell jingled as the door closed behind him.He stood a moment, letting his eyes grow accustomed to the dim light in the room. The familiar smell of the musty old books reached his nostrils. The room was filled with shelves full of them, not to mention those strewn about on the tables and piled on the floor.Suddenly, a voice came from the other side of one of the shelves, "So there you are Daniel. You're later than usual. I was beginning to think you weren't coming."The words angered him. He always came. Always.

I went to visit my family this week! I had a pretty good time with all of them. I mostly hung out with my older sister Rachael (fondly called "O"). We went shopping, which is always fun, and visited with some of the relatives that are around. Uncle Greg was in from Mass and it was good to see him and Kristen for a bit. She showed me how to play Sims2, which I am totally addicted to now. I wish my computer had enough memory to handle it, I'd go out and buy it quick. Also we had a birthday party for my niece and my stepfather. It was pretty fun we had cookout style food and everyone liked their presents.

I still haven't finished the afghan I've been working on but I'm still working on it. It's about 25 inches across now, which means I only have to do 11 more to make it big enough. Unless I decide to keep it for myself, in which case I will have to make it lots bigger.

I won the family limerick contest! YAY!!! I wonder what the prize is this year. I think it's kind of funny though because I was talking to some other people and they worked on their limericks for a long time. I just sat down the morning they were due and whipped that one out in about 2 minutes. I guess that makes me the limerick master! HEHEHEHEHE!
