it's all so complicated, with the flowers, and the romance, and the lies upon lies

I'm at my parents' place for the week, and it's been really awesome so far. The most obvious reason is because I'm not in Ohio. Also, because my mom keeps giving me money for stuff. And Cory (my brother) and I went to the White Sox game last night. And today I went to my favorite yarn store ever, Knitche. And I went to World Market for the first time ever and it's pretty much my favorite store now, besides IKEA and H&M. Hooray, stuff!

So first was my visit to Knitche. I wanted to get a skein of Malabrigo to make another One Skein Wonder, and two skeins of Rowan Pure Wool DK. I got the Malabrigo, but they don't carry Pure Wook DK yet. So I got Norah Gaughan vol. 3, two skeins of Blue Sky Alpacas Skinny Dyed Organic Cotton, and two skeins of Katia Colibri.

holiday yarn, hooray!

Then I went to World Market ... that place is awesome.

THEY CARRY JELLY BABIES! I bought two bags. I'll probably go back and buy a few more before I leave on Saturday. They're the Doctor's favorite treat! And I have to say they are pretty tasty. I also found a fantastic woven scarf, a really neat over-sized coffee mug (perfect for ramen noodles), and awesome pub coasters. Hooray stuff!

Then when I was at home I found my mom's collection of old juke box 45s.

I'm totally bummed that the Simon & Garfunkle disc is chipped. "Only Living Boy in New York" is one of my favorite songs. There are a few Beatles and Rolling Stones LPs, and really just a ton of other good stuff. Like Led Zeppelin and Sly and the Family Stone. And lots of others. Most of them are pretty scratched up, and they all have her name written on them. Whatevs. I'm going to see if she'll let me keep them. I have an idea of what to do with them (besides listen to them all at least once). I think my project for tomorrow is to go through and catalog what's in there.

mmmm, vinyl
