Yesterday was a rockin' good Halloween..
So, I spent the day with a friend in Austin...the day was gorgeous, we flew around in the Vampyre, our hair blowing around like mad...(my hat didn't fit)...we hit the sushi shop, and then the World Market where I picked up a gigantic straw tote to haul my knitting around...the new felted tote I'm working on is now so large, I could wear it as a skirt...and there's more of it to knit...so after we bought Toblerone and tiny bottles of Shiraz, we headed to the yarn shop and I loaded up on some super bulky yarn...and afterward I was lucky enough to get to check out her bead collection which is the most amazing thing in the world...so many super groovy projects, so many beads, so many pretty shiny things...
So finally, I'm leaving around 5:00pm and on the car radio I hear that our entire town is out of power...around 2:00pm a fire at the local power station took out the town...no electricity...Brian called and said the place was dark..and with the time change, it was getting darker quicker...so by the time I got home, it was almost black...we decided to head to Austin and go to Drafthouse cause they show Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars for FREE...we loaded up on some pizza and I took my knitting and we watched television...it was fantastic!
Parts of the town were lit and others were still black when we got home, but our house had power, which was nice...I have no idea if any trick or treaters came by, although we did see some in town, they aren't really out by our house...so now I have 3 big bags of candy to hide and eat between now and Easter...ha...not really...my teeth would rot outta my head if I did that...gross...
I have some things to do, but i'll be back later w/ more info...I DO have some beads to post, not many, but a few...its dark outside, a cold front came thru and its dark and stormy...very wintery...
