Lazy Sunday
Today is going to be spent blogging, relaxing, watching football (yeah.. football) and maybe crocheting. So far, I’ve gotten dinner in the marinade and salad is made. I’m making honey dijon chicken and potato salad. It smells fantastic. It’s not really a true marinade, it’s just a bottle of Wegmans honey dijon salad dressing. 
I always use toss salad dressing for marinades, they seem to have a better flavor, especially the thicker dressings.
I’ve weeded through some of my lj icons and uploaded some new ones, deleted some old ones and redone the keywords on them. I need to get more new ones. I’ve not been making cuz I suck. I don’t like my own icons much. I also need to put up a couple offerings in blinkie_store & juicy_grapes, but I have no idea what blinkies to offer. I could offer my rose again or one of the new ones I made the other day. I’m kinda meh, though, because the boxes on the one look like something another maker has and I really do not feel like getting accused of stealing when I sat and hand animated them pixel by pixel. I’m bored with my old boxes and have no idea what to make that either hasn’t been done or doesn’t look like I’m stealing. In case you’re curious, the boxes on the blinkie at the bottom of the post are the ones I am talking about.
Right now, I’m watching the Colts game. I want to see them win today. I also want to see the Giants win (sorry trillsie) too. I was hoping the Patriots would lose last night, but that wasn’t meant to be, I guess. I couldn’t help but laugh at the game yesterday afternoon. They weren’t playing football, that was more like snowball. It was amusing to watch.
I still haven’t found the pattern I was looking for and I still haven’t decided on the pink princess afghan pattern either. I have some ideas that I like, and I’m leaning towards doing the one pictured to the left, with variations of pink instead of blue. I like the way it looks, the pattern makes you look at it to figure out just how it was made. It looks complicated and difficult, but the reality is that it’s simple. It’s just a matter of keeping track of your yarns on each square. The hardest part is going to be the color changing, but the directions give a few good tips for keeping it from being too much of a pain.
Yeah, I’m babbling about crocheting and yarn again. I seem to be doing that a lot lately. I’ve found that I spend more time away from the computer lately. This isn’t such a bad thing, really. It keeps me from wanting to strangle people. Crocheting keeps my hands busy and I can watch TV or listen to an audio book while I do it too. But anyway, this is enough babble out of me. I’m off to figure out what I want to do with the rest of the day. I should try to write some fiction of some sort, since I haven’t since NaNoWriMo.
I have a few more blog posts to write later today, but those are not livejournal posts, those are for the crafting blog I’m working on. Most of the stuff there is already here, but some of it will be new. Anyway, I’m going to go curl up on the couch, watch football and crochet square centers for the lapghan.
Have a happy Sunday, folks.
