Hiya!

I haven't posted it a little while :p

Mom and Dad went to see Grandma on Friday, and I stayed home. Dad says she still thinks that I had a birthday recently. We ordered pasta from a local restaurant for dinner. Om nom nom.

Katie came up Saturday. She and Mom went to see Grandma again, and I stayed home again. After Dad dropped them off, he came home and went on the computer, and I played final Fantasy VIII for a while. In fact, I played so long that I got a headache, and you wouldn't believe how long it took me to find a friggin' save point. Grah.

(What I don't get is why Mom and Katie had Dad drop them off when Katie was renting a car, but...)

Mom was so pissed off at Dad when she and Katie came home (they got a ride from Grandpa), because he hadn't made any dinner, so we ordered chicken wings. I got pissed off, too, because I assumed (stupidly) that I was also being blamed for the lack of dinner. Long story short, I ate some honey garlic wings and some onion rings.

I wonder if Dad ate the rest of the honey garlic wings. Mom told me to leave them for him, but I'm hungry now, and I'm not sure if he ate them.

Today was a rather good day. I woke up quite early - either 6:00 or 7:00. There wasn't much on TV at that hour, so Mom and I watched The Lab with Leo, which was interesting. I had a shower at around 8:00, and after I sorted some clothes out (the top I got from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas and my tigher-fitting jeans), myself, Mom and Katie went to IKEA.

The original IKEA plan was to get some of the juggling balls for Grandma to help with her reflexes, look at a reading lamp for me, and I think Katie wanted some kitchen stuff. We couldn't find any of the juggling balls, and I didn't get a reading lamp because there's 'nothing wrong with the one Dad has' (fine, then, he can set it up in my room). I did, however, get cardboard magazine files for my knitting magazines and patterns. Sweet! Katie got some shelves for her and Dan's CDs and DVDs, some tea towels, and a casserole dish. There were probably more items, but I can't remember them all.

What I found really funny was, in the self-serve area for furniture, there are signs that read 'medium-brown starts here', 'beech starts here', etc. I didn't notice them until Mom started reading them aloud.

The new items got added to the library catalog tonight :) So I went through the CDs first and reserved a Dire Straits compilation and Bruce Springsteen's new album 'Working on a Dream'. I could only reserve four items, unfortunately - the other two items I reserved were French Girl Knits and Luxury One-Skein Wonders. I put other books on my list, like a Nicky Epstein book.

Last, but not least - the Super Bowl halftime show. Bruce Springsteen kicked ass out there! Our next-door neighbor's daughter came by to drop off some knitting needles that she borrowed from my mom, and then she asked to come by again and to have my mom help her cast on. I myself was working on Grandma's Clapotis while watching the halftime show, which distracted me from the performance, so I may have missed bits of it.

That's all for now!
