Long-Winded Weekend Wrap-up

I didn't get to do any sewing this weekend; I had hoped to, but I've run out of weekend much too quickly.  Instead, I...

• took lunch to my husband at his new work cave (which resembles 1960s NASA mission control), 
• got a new inspection sticker and an oil change (after I was stopped at a license check point and somehow got very lucky when the officer did not look in my window), 
• fried chicken for the husband since I didn't get to do that on his birthday Tuesday because I had to work late, 
• watched football and fell into a minor state of depression because NONE of the teams I like made it to the final rounds of the playoffs,
• did several loads of laundry, changed my daughter's bedsheets, swept the floors, did dishes several times, and washed all the rugs in my house,
• slept late two days in a row and woke up with a sore throat today,
• watched Patriot Games and The Sum of All Fears,
• still spent too much time on Facebook despite my resolution not to do so (but I'm still going to work on that),
• marveled at Mississippi weather once again when it went from 74 degrees this morning to 43 degrees in a matter of just a few hours
• and finished knitting a scarf which I promised for a favorite student who graduated years ago, but with whom I still keep in touch:

I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out.  My former student requested something in red and pink; I didn't have that, but I had this pretty yarn which was pretty close.  I hope she'll like it!
