Like I Needed More

The bad news of the weekend was that Jamie couldn't fly out to spend the weekend with me as planned. She wasn't feeling well and had to cancel her trip. The good news of the weekend was that I went ahead with our planned trip to western Massachusetts anyways.

Shortly after getting off the highway, I made a wrong turn and encountered this ominous road sign. Luckily it didn't set the tone for my solo weekend. I turned right around and found my way to Webs. Oh, how I love Webs. They have the greatest deals and the hugest selection. Hours tick by unnoticed when I am in that place. With the aid of the awesome shopping list function of Ravelry, I was a well prepared and focused shopper. Almost everything I bought was for a specific pattern or was for a specific purpose.

After a short yarn sensory overload recovery period at the hotel, I headed out to downtown Northampton for some shop browsing, wine purchasing and dinner eating. I finished up the night drinking wine, eating an amazing slice of raspberry chocolate cheesecake and knitting in my hotel room (king size bed with down pillows!).

The next morning, I woke up to about 8 inches of new snowfall. I checked out of the hotel and after burning mega calories trying to unearth my car, I headed out to breakfast. I had scoped out the breakfast menu at the Haymarket Cafe when I bought my dessert the night before, so I knew I was in for a treat.

It amazes me how the price of things adjusts when you get outside of the Boston area. This delicious french toast breakfast with a fresh-pressed apple juice was just over $8!

Dinner with the Newlyweds


On Saturday, Abby and Jeff ventured down from the Granite State to visit us and scratch Tchazo's butt. It was great to see them, share a Freestyle Chili dinner and a few bottles of wine.

Abby and I bored the boys a little with some knitting talk. Abby has been using Ravelry and I had yet to set eyes on it....until tonight!! I was surprised that I got my invite so soon since the last time I had checked I was 5 thousand-something in line. I'm thinking it is going to be an amazing resource.
