Funny Friday 13th Sky

Heading out to work today I say the strangest clouds, all swirly and eddying and wierd. Being that it's Friday the 13th, I should have expected as much. Though I had to run back home to get my real camera and couldn't use the phone - which was dead *duhnduhnduuuhhhnnnn* - I was able to get a couple of okay shots and since I'm now waiting on my phone to charge, I figured I'd post a couple.

Zoooooooo!

Just a small selection of the pictures off my digital camera. I'm still waiting to get the pictures back from the throwaway camera I had to buy just to be able to take pictures of everything .. I'm not even sure how they'll come out. But we're gonna try, and if they don't, we know better. We're going back to either the NC Zoo in Ashboro NC or to the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia SC this Sunday, so I'll have lots more pictures soon.

*bounce*squeal*glee!*

Okay, I know I owe pictures., I'm working on that. I still have to get through zoo pictures, for lady's sake, and we're planning another trip already! Yikes!!

But I just got my grade for my first term paper in Western Civ .. you know, the one I wrote in 6 hours the day it was due, with little research and less preparation? I got a 100. A perfect score. My comments were (paraphrased a little) "Paper was well written, and you used excellent sources". Lookit me go! I was -so- panicked about that paper. It was horrible, by my own estimation. So I'm MUCH relieved that I got a perfect score. Means I have to fret less.

*phews*

It's my day off, but I have a full schedule, I do I do. I have to go to the library, to pick up some sources for our -next- research paper. Then I've got to go to the local stitchery shop .. not to buy yarn, mind you, but to ask about having them embroider something on the little black bags I got for B, L and I for the fiber fair in Asheville. Two weeks away! Woot! It's crept up on us quickly all of a sudden. We had a couple other errands to run too, I think, but I don't recall them right now. B will know, when he wakes up, surely.

So I promised pictures of the almost finished shopping bag.


You can see in the bottom two pattern rounds where it was screwing up somehow, but I kinda like how it looks. Now, if only I could figure out what I did so I could repeat it. I will say I think I need to find some lighter yarn. The Sugar & Cream is a bit heavy for this. I should probably switch to a larger needle next time I make one of these, see if I can't get it to loosen up a little.

Now then. I went to the zoo two weekends ago. (See how behind I am!) But blogger is being a bitch .. again, so I'm going to have to post those pictures later. I have a throwaway camera to get developed anyhow. I'll get back to you with more when I have them. :)
