It was a wonderful night of knitting on Tuesday night.

THE ANNOYING WOMAN DID NOT SHOW UP.
YEAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :=)

It was a small group of us, which are nice. Brent come back after several weeks of absence. He started on a new sweater, most likely he'll finish by this Friday. He's really good. I can't wait to see how it turn out. Nicole came and show us her slippers she's making. I get to show off my sweater body that I finished. Helen came too. We had fun.
As usual, I had my burger, but this time I didn't get the garlic fries, I got a piece of fried fish. I try to lose weight by cutting down, but then again, I don't think cutting out the garlic fries and eat a piece of fried fish is any better. It's ok, I don't do this everyday, just once a week.

It was a very nice weekend.

The weather was nice on both Saturday & Sunday.
Saturday - Did my Trio make-up class for the one I miss on Wednesday. Cancel the standing Wednesday Trio class. I can't take it anymore, the woman in the same class complaint too much. I made allot of progress on my sweater. I actually finished the body, I'm on the sleeves now.

Sunday - The weather was a bit warmer than Saturday. I went to Leland Tea Company for Tea. Karla is changing Starbucks stores, we were to celebrate her transfer. I was nice & I got there faster than I expected on my Red Sonya and find motorcycle parking only half block away. Afterwards, Susan, Karla & I went to a yarn store in downtown. We walk there, Karla show us where she live, her old Starbucks store, and the new one she's transferring to. We got to the yarn store, but it turn out it wasn't even open on Sundays, but the website stated that it open until 4pm. We were disappointed, but it's OK. We can take it another trip later. Downtown weather is warmer than I'm used to in the Inner Richmond area. I came home, and make progress on my sock. I'm almost finished with it, think I only have less than 2 inches to go.

When to bed early, but wake up around 3am. Slept on & off for the next 3 hours, because if stomach cramp. I should not have that bowl of soup before I went to bed. Oh well, it's too late now, I just have to live with it.

Now it's Monday and I'm at work with a stomach cramp.

Yesterday, Wednesday, it's Administrative Day, which is a day like Mother's Day, but it's for all the administrative workers. I think it use to be call "Secretary Day", but someone must changed to be political correct.
I got flowers & a card from the MDs & CRNAs I support, I also got See's candy from my Manager. Both was a surprise, but it was wonderful.
Here are some pictures:





The same night was our quarterly department meeting and one of the MD announce, it's administrative day at the meeting and thank me for all the hard work. It's a wonderful feeling to be know I'm appreciated by the department. It's also a night meeting, so I didn't get home until 9pm, but at least I got dinner at the meeting.

Today, I took it easy and got prepared for my busy Friday.

It's Tuesday, so I'm at knitting having my usual burger, garlic fries, talking, & get in some knitting at the same time.

I got my sunglasses back :=) Amie drop it off to me at knitting and everyone was glad to see her. We make plans for an outing in 2 weeks. She left pretty quickly because she needs to get back home and clean. She's having company come over on Wednesday.

Karla came after 3 weeks. Yeaaaaaaaaaaa :-) She also brought some wonderful glorious yarn with her, so we can all touch it and envy her for having it.

It was going along well, then "THE ANNOYING WOMAN" show up. SHIT!!!!!

I can't believe it, she just don't get the hint. Then she just sit herself down next to Susan, yelling across the table to ask what's my name(I was talking to Karla and for crying out loud, she can't remember my name after a month coming to annoy us), and inhaling the Susan's fries.
Then the annoying woman ask Karla to teach her to knit. This is just bad, each week she came and someone have to RE-TEACH her to knit. She don't remember after a month? It's just horrible. Karla was busy catch up with us, so she didn't have time to teach her. Then she try to give Susan some cookies.
OH MY GOD!!!! It's awful, the cookies are in a crumb up Ross plastic bag, Susan said no to the cookies. Thank goodness, I don't want Susan to get sick from it.
Afterwards, she just left in a hurry without saying anything. NO MANNERS!!!

Most of us pretty much gets her routine now. She comes, wait for some one's left over fries, or just start eating Susan's fries, try to give away some of her unwanted or left over/expired/nasty food to us, then leaves. We all agree on the fact that "SHE IS ANNOYING" and hungry. If she's that hungry, EAT YOUR OWN NASTY FOOD THAT YOU TRY TO GIVE AWAY TO US!!! We are thinking of donate $.25 to fund for fries, so she can eat it and leave.

Then the evening went on great. We catch up with Karla, envy her yarns, talking, and knitting. I show off the progress I made on my sweater, one finished sock, and the group I found on Yahoo that have wonderful lace projects. I was surprise to see rain coming down. It's strange for San Francisco, it's April and it's not raining season. It did pour for awhile. It did light up a bit around 9pm, I say goodbyes and see you all next week, and I went home.

It's a good evening of fun.

It's Tuesday, and it's my knitting, burger, garlic fries night, yeaaaaaaa :=)

I hope the annoying woman won't show up.

I was very busy on Monday and my office was freezing all day!!! I did get allot of work done. After work, I call up my friend if she wants to go to dinner, since I haven't eat anything all day. I wasn't hungry during the day, so I didn't eat. It's amazing, because usually I'm hungry all the time!!! Anyway, she can't go to dinner, because she's going to Target and she ask if I want to go with her.

YES, Absolutely, it's "Target".

So she pick me a bit after 6:30pm and off we when to Target. We stock up on allot cleaning supplies and etc. I got 2 DVDs, "Murial's Wedding" I love this movie, it's the first time I got a full introduction to ABBA music, I also got "Pan's Labyrinth", I heard great things about this movie and aways want to see it. I was happy with my purchases.
We were going to Safeway afterwards, but we stop by Olive Garden in the Stonestown mall for dinner. It's been years since I been to Olive Garden, back in Jacksonville, FL, Olive Garden was consider "REAL" Italian food!!! Anyway, we had dinner and I got a buzz from the drink. She drop me off at home, but I didn't know I drop my sunglasses in the car, thank goodness she pick it up for me. I really love that pair of sunglasses, and it also cost me like $60 dollars too. I'll pick it from her tonight before I go to knitting.

Looking forward to knitting, burger, and garlic fries, but not the annoying woman.

It was a working weekend.

Saturday - Have to be at downtown 4 Season Hotel by 7am. Took my Red Sonya and scooted down there. It's amazing how empty Geary can be on a weekend with no rush hour traffic. I mean, no one was on the road. I love it, so I got to downtown faster than I plan at 6:38am. Parked, surprised to see CompuUSA store have closed shop. Damn the economy must be bad. It cause me about $3 dollars to parked until 6pm. I love having a scooter. I got to the hotel. The conference room was in the Veranda room on the Lobby level, but it's actually the 5th Floor!!! Why they call the 5th Floor "Lobby Level"???? It's so strange. My job was to sign in all the CRNAs that's attending the event. It's a easy job and I was only busy for about 1 hour. I got paid the full day, it's awesome, not to mention that I got breakfast, lunch in the hotel for free, and got some knitting done too. There are several people at the conference who saw me knitting, and they compliment me on the sweater. I also show couple of them my 1 of my finished sock. I left around 2pm. As I was walking toward my Red Sonya, a guy on a motorcycle was parking, I tell him that he can have my spot, because I'm leaving and the space is paid for until 6pm. He knotted his head. I done my charity for the day. The ride home was windy!!! I also hit traffic along Japan Town because the Cherry Blossom festival was going on. I stop by Kinko's by my place to pick up some heavy duty paper to print out certificates. There's only 1 person behind the desk. The wait was longer than the time it took me ride home from downtown to Inner Richmond area. I got home and took couple of naps. It wasn't a bad day.
Sunday - Got up late, did some grocery shopping, did some cleaning. I also had the misadventure of finding out my garbage tube is jammed with garbage. It sucked, so I found some pole to try to unjammed it, I only was partly successful. Then, it's what the hell, the garbage man or someone else have to deal with it later. I'm not the one who got the tube stuck with smelly garbage. I washed my hands and when back to dinner and knitting. Make progress on my sweater, but have to stop, because I have question on the shoulder part. Hopefully someone at knitting on Tuesday will able to answer it. So I when back knitting my socks.

It was a nice weekend.

Tuesday was a easy day for me at work. Boss was at an all day meeting away from the building, so I finished my work and started knitting. I make allot of progress on my sock, then cast on and knit the toes for 2nd of the pair. I was looking forward to my knitting night all day.

It was a good knitting last night, after about 30 minutes.

The annoying woman did show up again, but didn't stay long. We were all eating at the time, so she didn't push her knitting needles in our faces to ask us how to teach her to knit again. The first thing she said was "Karla here?". It's just bad, Karla teach her knit 2 weeks in a row, but she can't remember what she look like, and keep asking one of the girl "are you Karla?". "NO, Karla is not coming tonight, because she has to work". One of our knitter share her fries with her, it was nice of her. After the annoying woman ate the fries, she give the knitter an open box of Wheat Thins. She did ask if we want cupcake first, but we say "no". One of our knitter tell her about knitting class on the 3rd Saturdays at the main library in downtown and it's free. Hopefully she'll go there. She just need more attention than any of us can give her. She's NEEDY!!! After she give away the Wheat Thins, she left. Then we throw away the Wheat Thins. The box is all crushed up, the bag was open, it just look so horrible.

Then we got on with our knitting and chit chatting. I get to show off the progress of my socks. I got advice on how to read the chart for the cabling for my sweater. I even show off my yarn for my next project, it's another sweater, but it's all cables. It seems this week, most of us are working on sweaters. Two of our knitters was working on different sweaters, but using the same yarn. I can't wait to see both of the finished projects. We didn't have a big show up last night, but it's fun. The new knitter we meet last week came back this week and she's making a hat. One of the girl have to leave early, because she didn't feel good. All in all, it was a good night.

It was a HOT weekend, temperature wise. It's reaching 80 degrees. Yes, this may not seem much in the southern parts of America, but this is San Francisco, this city don't get that hot. In reality, it don't even get that warm!!!

I did plan to go out, but after 30 minutes, I'm sneezing up a storm.
DAME the allergy.

Oh well, so I stay in the whole weekend. I didn't mind stay inside, my place stays cool and I had a friend over for dinner. I also finished some ice cream, chips, & rum (I need to finish what I started). I watched my Eddie Izzard DVDs, make allot progress on my knitting.

I'm so glad the weather have cool down on Monday.

My cough is getting better.

Had a wonderful sushi dinner with 2 friends. I forgot to take picture of the sushi. Oh well, next time. After dinner we went to knitting.

OH MY GOODNESS AND DAMN IT!!!

The annoying woman show up again after 2 weeks. Most of us was hoping she got the hint and not come back. Good thing I went next door first to get some fries & a knitting buddy give me a heads up about her. She come over once she saw me sit down and ask for Karla. I said Karla is not coming tonight. She just sits there and pretty much wait for anyone who will have fries left over. Another knitter have some fries, she can't finish & the annoying woman was like "me, me, me, I want it". She keep asking me if I had my burger. I say no, because I already had sushi. Again, she try to pass out cupcake that taste like playdo. Nobody talk to her, it's not because we were some unfriendly group, but all of us know that if any of us talk to her, she will be leched onto us like a unwanted bug. She's like a selfish child that wants attention all to herself and if the attention is taking away, she will get into your face. We all agree, SHE IS NEEDY!!!

On a good note.
Two of our knitting group member come back after a year of absence. It was so great to see them both and see what are they knitting. A new knitter join the group. She's very nice.

I started this weekend with an sore throat & a bad cough, so I took it easy.

Saturday - slept late, but got a craving for meat, which I don't often have, so I when out to hunt for food. Saw 2 pigeons going at it, thought they were horny, so I kinda of look away to give them privacy. Then I just have to look and it turn out they were fighting. Coooooooooool. I took out my camera and took some pictures. I was hungry so I when out to eat at 2 places, took a picture of the oyster I order. Straightly enough I keep wanting more meat. So I call up Amie & ask her if she knows any place that have allot of meat dishes. We end up going to Outback for dinner. I really like it.
Oh yes, I also found a Hello Kitty waffle maker. It makes waffles in shape of Hello Kitty and it's blue not pink.

Sunday - slept late again, do feel better. When for knitting, beer & pizza (not in this order). Had allot of fun, cast on for my sweater.

Now it's Monday.
My cough have gotten better, but I'm sneezing up a storm!!!

Had a wonderful dinner with 2 of my friends last night.
I made spaghetti, well it was angel hair. We eat, drink wine & share our bus experiences.

I'm coming down with a cold, but at least its the weekend, so I can take it easy.
