This is how I spent my lunch break today. Knitting & reading. I love that I’m working on something simple & mindless enough that I can read a book. I wish the book would stay open a little easier… there’s a lot of fidgeting involved with trying to read this book while I knit, but I’m not willing to give it up. lol. 
The book is pretty good. There are differences from the movie, but not enough (at least not yet) that I can say one is better than the other. I guess I’ll come to that conclusion when I’m done. I’m about halfway through, and to keep on track for the “52 Books in 52 Weeks” challenge, I have to finish it by tomorrow. I don’t know if that will happen, but you never know.
I finished the Binder of Doom, finally. It ended up having to be TWO Binders of DOOM, and I almost had a party when they were done. I MAY have danced a little bit. Today was playing catch up on all the stuff I got behind on last week, and I got done with everything that should have been done through yesterday, so not too bad. I was a typing fiend today. The next few days will hopefully be quiet, and then we get to do it all over again next week.
BTW – I spent most of today thinking it was Wednesday. I didn’t start out thinking that way, but by the time I got off work, I was really excited that tomorrow would be Thursday & I would get to go to Knit Night. I was so excited, I even told Joe, and he’s like “Umm, yeah, it’s Tuesday.” Oops!
Today was a pretty warm day. The apartment was freezing when I woke up this morning, so I figured it was going to be cold out, but when I left, it was actually pretty comfortable. When I was at lunch, it got up to about 70 degrees.
When I left work at 7pm, it was still 64. Awesome! It’s supposed to be in the high 60s/low 70s all week. That rules.
Today was fairly lazy. I slept until about 11:30, and then I woke up and finished knitting a sock. Only one more to go. 
After that, I made my first crock pot recipe – BBQ Chicken. This BBQ Chicken recipe, actually. I can see how shredding it would make very yummy sandwiches or something, but we decided to just eat the chicken as is. It was yummy, but a little dry. I turned it on high for a bit, and I think it would’ve been just fine if I would’ve kept it cooking on Low.
My obsession with crepes, as evidenced by my links list, still hadn’t dwindled. I had everything to make the actual crepes, but no Nutella or bananas, so we ran to the store to get that and a couple of other things. The bananas weren’t ripe, so I ended up just making Nutella crepes, and they were DELICIOUS! There is still a bunch of batter left, so I stuck it in the fridge, and maybe I’ll have some for breakfast tomorrow. I used this recipe for the crepes, and I just spread a very generous helping of Nutella on each crepe before folding it half, spreading a little more Nutella, and folding it in quarters. Yummy is all I have to say.
I forgot to post yesterday. Honestly, though, I was so tired, I just couldn’t do anything. Except knit, of course. I did my fair share of net-surfing last night, but I forgot to post. Yesterday… the whole last week, in fact… sucked. But yesterday was the worst. We’ve been working on a project, trying to get it finished for the VPs next week, and every time I’d “finish” it, I would end up having to do twice as much work on it. WTF?
In the middle of all of this, I have a binder I need to update for one of the VPs. I finished the original project on Thursday and was looking forward to just printing all the stuff off that I need to update the Binder of DOOM and catching up on some other stuff I’ve had to let fall by the wayside.
Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and the Binder of DOOM is still not updated. I hope the VP doesn’t need it anytime soon. *sigh*
I don’t even know how many times I have started this stupid project, but I am determined. I started on the 1st day of the month so it would be easier to keep track.
Day 1: The Chronic-what?-cles of Narnia: Prince Caspian
Day 2: I finished half a pair of socks
Day 3: Lunch Break with a sammich from Safeway and Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer. In this picture, I had about half the book to go. Now? Only about 30 pages. I am so BUMMED that I have to wait until August for the next one. I thought it came out this month.
