Heartburn.

Why would I eat that muffin if I knew it, coupled with that gigantic black coffee, would give me instant indigestion?

Second question:

What the hell is in muffins that gives you heartburn?

Always, every time, it never fails that if I eat a muffin I will be begging the acid reflux gods to have mercy on my never-having-a-supply-of-tums-at-work soul. Damn.

In other, non-acidic, news, I had a lovely weekend.

Brodie and I went out for sushi at Mizu on Friday night. Scotty met up with us, and it was a really nice treat to have a visit with him seeing as he is one of my best friends and I hardly ever see the kid anymore. After dinner I slipped happily into my sushi coma and was asleep before midnight. haha.

Because I went to bed so early Friday night, I was up around 8 on Saturday morning, ready to conquer the world. Jen, apparently, had the same idea, so we head out to Granny's yarn shop and did a little shopping. 20% off all the yarn in the store, who could resist? I brought in to lace blanket pattern in hopes of her helping me out with trying to locate it (did I mention that it's a photocopy and that a bunch of it is cut off on the side, so I have to really really really try to figure out every pattern row? Super difficult when it's my first lace project.), but she said that the pattern had to be older than her, and she basically couldn't help me. Meh. I wound up buying some yarn to make this cute caplet sweater thing that was hanging on her wall, but she couldn't find the pattern, so it gives me some time to finish my other projects before being anxious and jumping on that one. She's going to call me when she locates it. We also went to blockbuster and to get egg sandwiches. I worked on the blanket for a little bit when I got home, and it seems to be knitting up quicker than I imagined it would, so that's a plus! We hung around the apartment all day until we went up to Laura and Andrews for dinner. It was nice hanging with the Centauro crew. I really enjoy their company. We had a super yummy meal, and super yummy dessert. When we got home Jen had just started watching the Ring 2 with her sister, so we joined them on the couch. Went to bed a little later than Friday night, but not much. haha.

Sunday was a lazy day that included more knitting and sitting on the couch. I was semi-productive in that I went over to my Mom's and did laundry. I had dinner there and watched the first half of the game. After Prince's half-time show (I'm so disappointed he didn't do "Kiss") Brodie and I left to go to Quinns. We had a couple of beers, watched the end of the game, and came home. I did a little more knitting before bed, but strained to keep my eyes open during my last purl row. I was out like a light before Brodie made it to bed.

I have a bunch of projects to complete this week. They're all pretty secret, so I'll give you some further detail when they are finished and gifted. Wish me luck!
