How I spent my Saturday...

Besides being a little hungover (had a drink named after me last night. It was christened the "manoob" after this guy I used to date. long story.) , I was productive today. Oh yes, I was. I made AWESOME progress on my Sven cardigan. I did some math planning, and graded a HUGE mess of papers. I ate some of the Toblerone that Lily, the queen of cool, sent me. I drank some diet coke. And yes, ladies and gentlemen, I finished season one of Desperate Housewives, just in time for the season 2 premiere.
So the hungover part of the story... Liz, Virginia, her fiance and I went out on the town. I scored VIP passes to the grand opening of Buffalo Wild Wings in my town, so we ate and drank $100 worth of goods for the bargain price of $8. Love that. Then we went to this bar called PJ's, where the bartender created a drink for me. My friends told him the legend of the manoobs, so that became the name of the drink. Steven and Virginia were drinking Moscow Mules. Ick. Then we went to this other bar, and there was a girl there who looked like a cross between Paris Hilton and Tara Reid, only the girl has a semi-mullet. Scary.

So I'm really excited about my Sven. Here's a close up of what I've done so far. I'm knitting it in the round, and I'm going to have my first steeking experience under the close supervision of Sandi, the yarn store goddess. I'm excited about the challenges that this sweater promises to bring. It will also be my first fair isle experience. Totally cool. Hopefully I've not bit off more than I can chew...
