The Clapotis is driving me insane

I have no clue where I am in the pattern, so I might have to frog it and start over. Ah, knitting.

I did work on the cat's blanket though. But then I dropped the bit of yarn that was left from the skein, so I cut it off and threw it in the garbage, because I have another skein (maybe two - I've lost track). I thinking about making either a poncho, a shrug or a bunch of throw pillows out of my dark green Red Heart - it's so scratchy I don't know if I even want to try making hats or mittens out of it. Then again, it hasn't had the excess dye washed out of it, and sometimes that can tone down the itch factor.

Hmm, SNL should be new tonight. *turns on TV to check*

Yep, it's new. Blake Lively is hosting, and Rihanna's the musical guest. Should be pretty cool.

So... Youth group is now gonna be on Tuesday, starting this coming week. Oh yay. I hate those kinds of changes. Reminds me of when my old dojo got rid of grappling class for a few months. People were pissed. Then they brought it back. Well, whatever, Tuesday still works for me. The only problem is that we may have to move down to the space below the loft, because by moving meetings to Tuesday we have more people showing up (which is the reason for the day switch - so that people that graduated from Coming of Age can make it to meetings), and the loft can only hold so many people. I'm just hoping it won't be a catastrophe like last week.

I still don't know what's going on for Christmas Day dinner. It's become a case of Patti is going to her boyfriend's sister's for Christmas dinner, and the sister of Boyfriend has also invited Grandma and Grandpa, but Grandpa says it wouldn't work for Grandma. There was also talk of Christmas dinner being at Uncle Brent's, but he assumed that he would be having family over for Boxing Day, not Christmas Day, so I don't know WHAT'S going on. If I were Mom and Dad, I'd be planning a dinner for at home - I would at least buy a back-up turkey, anyway.

So, Dad's Christmas present is pre-ordered from Amazon, Katie's is bought (I'm not saying what hers' is, because she knows I have a blog and knows what the URL is - sorry, Katie, you'll have to wait 'til Christmas to find out! ;P), but I still have to shop for Mom, Nathan and Steph. Nathan is probably getting one of those holiday scratch ticket packs, and Steph is probably getting chocolate. I don't know what else to get them because he still hasn't e-mailed me back about what he wants for Christmas. It's been 17-ish days, Nathan! You're lucky I haven't started knitting you some coal! ;)

I already have an idea for a sequel to my NaNoWriMo novel. I haven't even finished my novel yet! ;P It's more like a companion novel than a sequel, though. And I have an idea for a short story, but I don't know how to start it yet.

It's the fifth of December. There are 20 days until Christmas Day. IS THAT NOT SCARY?!

Err, sorry...

Still, I'm kinda freaked out. This means that in 19 days I'll be going with Dad to pick up breakfast for Christmas Day. And Mom will probably have CBC Radio One on loud. Oh dear.
