Another Weekend Over

So I had a fun weekend, although tiring and not quite as knitful as I would have hoped. Friday was busy at work, but I actually met a famous Olympian which was cool.

Saturday, my mom and dad were in town, so we went out to dinner after work, and it was a nice meal. We went to Osteria al Doge in the theatre district, and can you believe it? Marcia Cross was at the next table! (She plays the Desperate Bree Van de Kamp and used to play one of TV's most excellent bitches, Dr. Kimberly Shaw of "Melrose Place"! So that was cool!)

Then Dad and I went to see "Spamalot" while Mom took my cousin to see "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." The show was a lot of fun, but the actress who won the Tony tonight, Sara Ramirez, was out sick and her understudy was just not as good as she is (it was the second time I saw the show).

Then we had cheesecake at the Carnegie Deli! Yum!

Tonight after work, Chinese food (although I'm not sure Hunan Ostrich totally qualifies as Chinese, and my friend's stir-fried alligator with califlower? Well, who knows. It was yummy. And tasted sort of like chicken...)

Then I got home and watched some TV (although I stupidly forgot to TiVo the Tonys so I have reruns of "Desperate Housewives" and "Gray's Anatomy" waiting for me. And I finished the hood, meaning all that's left is blocking, sewing ends and seams, and we'll have a Pinwheel Sweater. And we have so much Blue Sky Cotton left over that we'll have to create some other projects. Yay, more yarn to put in my stash!
