Right or Left Brained?

Test your brain... which way is the dancer spinning? Clockwise? Or Counter-Clockwise? I can only see clockwise, but Greg can see both. Hmmmm... It's driving me nuts!

Brain Teaser!

Let me know which way she turns for you!

Weekend Update

We have been pretty busy these past few days... Friday night we went out to the Draught House for a birthday get together. One of the "kids" from Greg's small section was turning 24 or 25! In a strange coincidence - his current roommate and his former roommate were both there, and they were both freaking HUGE. I'm talking over 6'5" each and just ginormous. It was like having your own personal bouncers! But I digress... this is a really great laid back pub. There are people tailgating in the front lot, there are darts in the corner, and seriously about 200 types of beer and cider on draft. And... it's less than a mile from our house! Score!

Saturday was pretty typical for us. Went to Kerbey on the drag for brunch... we sat at the counter since there was a decent wait for a table (game day). We ended up talking to this guy and his son for most of the meal. They were doing college visits - this is the kid's senior year. They're from Southern California, and seemed to be having a great time thus far. I hope we were able to give them good and mostly unbiased opinions of Austin, UT and college life.

Next up was the game. There was supposed to be a 0 to 1% chance of Nebraska winning the game so we thought this would be a stomping! The weather was absolutely beautiful - sunny, 80 degrees.... (Greg didn't wear any sunscreen - oops) and we were looking forward to seeing our friends in the stadium and watching the beating. Hmmmm... the game starts and we can't play for crap! Nebraska is scoring and we look like a bunch of pansies running around the field! It was almost painful. The bright spot of the first half was looking directly up from our seats to the box where Matthew McConaughey kept leaning out the window. It was amusing to watch all the girls around us try to take pictures with their cell phones.

Today, Greg and I met up with Tiffany, my college roommate, who was in town from NYC for a baby shower. It was great to see her - we seem to only see each other every couple of years when either I'm in NYC, or she's in TX! We went to this fabulous place for brunch called Moonshine's Grill. It was some yummy down home Sunday brunch cooking - that's for sure! If anyone reading this comes down to see us for a weekend - remind me to take ya'll there for brunch!

Now I'm off to goof off around the house for a bit while Greg studies. I'm going to call my Grandparents and see if they're up for some visitors later tonight. Maybe knit a little... scrap a little....

Hee Hee

I may never hear the end of it for posting this picture.... but I can't resist.

Wisdom (?) Teeth

The most exciting part of our week was the trip to the oral surgeon. Fun. Ha. Well, Greg on Valium was a bit amusing. Greg was nervous about the surgery -- this was the first time he was going to be "knocked out". Turns out - he did just fine. The doctor did the IV, asked a few questions and the next thing Greg knew, he woke up in a recliner chair with an ice pack strapped to his head. The surgery itself was quick - just over 30 minutes from when he left the front of the office until they called me back to sit with him. I sat in a chair next to him for about an hour while he finished the saline IV and roused from sleep.

Then, once home, I had to change the icky gauze things in his mouth for the next couple of hours since Greg's cheeks, lips and tongue were numb. Ewwww. The things we do for love. :-)

This weekend was nice and relaxing. Actually - we didn't do much of anything. Slept in both days, watched some football and just took it easy. It was a great treat.

Oops!

Funny thing. I was doing laundry, folding Greg's IM Football shirt, when I realized something. His team isn't the Lobsters. It's th LAWbsters. Ha. Ha. Ha.

It was so punny, I missed it!

Undefeated?

Can you believe it? Greg's IM Football team - The Lobsters - are 4-0 for the season, and thus far 1-0 in the playoffs. Who would have guessed? Tonight was a good game -- I watched Greg get a few good tackles although apparently he was flagged for one of them.

I also hung out a bit with Claire, Ben's girlfriend. I actually met Claire on Yom Kippur at the Longhorns football game, but this was our first chance to really talk. I'm excited because I learned she's crafty too! Knitting and scrapbooking - yipee - a kindred spirit.

Now back to play-off baseball and Monday night football...

The Yarn is Calling

So, I'm feeling crafy again these days. I've picked up the *almost* finished poncho and I'm making progress. I've picked up the stitches for the border of the back half. Now all that remains is to finish the border, pick up the neckline and do a little ribbing and voila. I will have a finished project. Shocking, I know. I promise to take pictures.

I also went to a knitting meetup over the weekend. Too bad I picked the day when everyone was doing a yarn crawl. Oops. For the uninfomed, a yarn crawl is pretty much like a pub crawl only involving local yarn/knitting stores. I know - crafty people are kinda dorky. It happens. Gather up a group of friends, rent a van and go from one store to another!

But, in checking all my crafy websites, I noticed that Vickie Howell has posted an opportunity for free yarn. I know! What more could a girl want? Here's to hoping that this works....

Note to self - learn better blogging skills!
