Rain and magazines

When we left to go to the Unitarian church, it wasn't too cold. I wore a sleeveless polo-ish top and my navy blue shorts, thinking I'd be okay.

The service was nice, although I really wish I was more awake. The theme was simple living. The music was provided by a cool guy named Tim. The first time I heard him sing was when he sang With a Little Help From My Friends with his wife and another woman in the church, and I'd forgotten how nice his voice sounded. The first song was a Gordon Lightfoot song, and the postlude he picked was a Stephen Stills song, and although I haven't heard the original versions of the songs he sang, I thought he sounded good.

Then when we went out to the car, it was pouring. We had to stop in at Fortino's to get milk. While we were there, we also picked up a Delissio frozen pizza, some chocolate soy milk for me, some bagels for Dad, and ingredients for taboule. We saw Ann, another member of the church, and Mom saw someone else from the church, but I didn't catch a glimpse of him. We saw Ann again when we went to the produce to get parsley and a lemon (we also got a cauliflower, because ours went bad in the fridge), and Mom said, "We keep seeing people from church!" Ann replied, "It's like this every Sunday." Ann was an advisor for the youth group, but she left shortly after adopting a little girl. It's a pity that she couldn't stay on as an advisor, because she communicated well with us.

Near the entrance, we picked up the new Vogue Knitting and an issue of the fall Knit Simple. While the Knit Simple patterns may be boring to some knitters, I quite like the ones in this issue. I always seem to be looking for brainless patterns, anyway.

The parking lot was crazy when we tried to leave. I honestly though someone was going to pull a make-a-parking-spot right in front of us. I guess people turn into idiots when the weather is bad.

I'm tempted to work on my kerchief scarf, but I think my wrists need a rest from cotton. Maybe tomorrow. I'm also tempted to turn that scarf into a little wrap - I think I have enough cotton for it, too! :D

Blah.

I seem to have a strange stomach. Some mornings I just don't feel like eating anything. I'll be hungry, but my stomach doesn't seem to want anything solid. And I just ran out of chocolate soy milk. Shucks.

I did, however, work on my Party Clutch though, with help from my mom. I had to pick up and knit stitches along the edge. I got the first edge done, but I couldn't get the cast-on edge done. I think it was because I hadn't eaten anything. So I ate two bowls of Campbell's Italian Wedding soup. I think it was after the soup when I polished off the last of the chocolate soy milk. Some days I just don't wanna drink that stuff, other days it's like an elixir. Then I ate a couple of English muffins with peanut butter and jam on them, and I also drank a bottle of Pepsi.

Maybe I have to start drinking a glass of water in the morning, because a little while ago I had to drink water to kind of kick-start my stomach. I wouldn't feel hungry in the morning, but after drinking water I started feeling hungry.

It also doesn't help that I drank all the fruit juice in the house. That stuff was also great to consume in the morning if I didn't feel hungry.

ETA: Sorry, it wasn't an entire bottle of Pepsi. There's still some left in the bottle.
