Five things I did this weekend

tsaiko1) Went to an art fair on Saturday. Miome and I wandered for two hours and still did not see all the booths. It was huge and awesome. And sometimes expensive. There was one lady selling simple knitted hats for $65 and people were buying them. The only thing special about them was that they were felted. Well hell, I can churn out one of those suckers using my round loom in an afternoon. If I'd known all I needed to do was felt the damn thing, I could have practically paid for my books this year. What a deal!
2) I bought a ceramic fish. I know this sounds crazy, but my grandfather was an avid fisherman. I can remember summers with him spent fishing. When he moved to GA from NC, he had to leave behind the large bass he had mounted on his wall. My mom said no way. He really wanted a fish to hang on his door, but my mom wanted something non-tacky. While at the art fair, I found one modeled from a real small-mouth bass. I bought it and am going to mount it on a nice board with my grandfather's last name beneath it. It'll be classy and a fish. My mom will not be able to complain.
3) Realized that I somehow lost a week. All the stuff for my internship isn't due until the week after next, meaning I could spend this weekend relaxing and not stressing. Awesome.
4) Turned the entire windowsill full of roma tomatoes from my plant into vegetable broth and pizza sauce. Next time I have got to remember to remove the skins before I boil them. I didn't think it would matted once they were blended up, but it does.
5) Called my sister so we could continue our plans for my mom's 60th birthday party. It's a secret. She doesn't know we're trying to get most of the family to come to a big party for lunch. She just thinks we're going to go out to eat with her. Heh. We are so devious.
Now to go to bed. If I can pull Miome away from the fanfic she's currently reading.
