Jeans and Sneakers

I didn’t get anything done today.  It was nice though, after work, I came home and hung out with Rob for a bit, and we fell asleep.  Taking naps is so underrated.  We’ll probably go see Clerks2 tomorrow.

I’m going to try to work on the dolls some more this week after I get home from work, so that I don’t have to use my weekend day sitting in my room by myself wishing I was relaxing in the ac rather than worrying about my upcoming deadline.

Rob got these cool things for the computer. . .a program called WindowBlinds that makes windows look pretty (I’ve been trying to figure out a way to make my start bar not so ugly for a while, just not too hard though.), and some other program that’s a calendar on my desktop that when you double click it pulls up a big calendar that you can put notes on and stuff.  I can’t say how valuable that is to me, since I don’t use outlook, I was seriously considering actually buying a wall calendar.  I don’t know when the last time I paid for a calendar was. . .but I dunno.  I needed something that I could put notes on with dates that I have to remember, that’s easily accessible.  I have a little wallet calendar thingy that my grandmother got me for xmas, but I can never find it and it’s got my sister’s name on it.  (My sister’s has my name on it.  It’s just the cover, all the insides are the same.)  I’m rambling.  Point being, I keep meaning to use it, but because it is not in my path of everyday things, I don’t use it as much as I should.

So yeah.  Desktop calendar is a good thing.  Also, the notes that you put up on the calendar show up on your desktop in the upper right hand corner, letting you know your soonest up and coming dates to remember.  So even if you don’t open the calendar, you can look at your recent notes and see what’s coming pretty effortlessly.  I’m liking it.

The shawl is coming along.  Last night I finished row repeat #6. . . and she’s starting to look like a lace shawl.  Quite pretty actually.  I can’t wait to have it done.  Rob’s supposed to be getting a sk3 for work so I’m thinking of knitting him a little sksock so it doesn’t get all scratched up in his pocket.  We’ll see, I still owe him socks.
