So far the whole birthday thing is going well. Friday I went to my parents' house where they gave me the money for the birthday present I got myself in December - a swift and ballwinder. It was originally for christmas, but that's what you get for having a January birthday sometimes. They made cheeseburgers for dinner, which I had specially requsted. Mom made them on the grill and they were excellent. I got home too late on Friday to really make any progress on my Clapotis, which I intended to work on all weekend as a present to myself.
Saturday I slept in and then worked on the Clapotis until it was time to go to dinner. We went to Arundel Mills to meet Christine and my brother for dinner, Chris picked up my dinner as a present. Poor kid's nearly broke and has some legal issues impending, so I felt a little bad that I wasn't buying his dinner. Luckily he still had the Target gift card I got him for christmas so he could go get some food.
Sunday I worked all day and night on the clapotis. By the end of the day my hands weren't necessarily in pain, but they were really stiff and I knew I had better stop. I'm hoping to get it finished by tomorrow night so I can wear it Wednesday. That's probably the first day this week I'll need a wool scarf. I'm also hoping that I have enough yarn left over for a Calorimetry, but I don't know yet.
I hope I don't have to type too much today. This post is already making my hand cramp a little.
