Lazy, I wanna be lazy...

And, apparently - I am! It's 11:09 in the morning and I got out of bed ten minutes ago. Ye gods. Twelve (mostly) uninterrupted hours of sleep. Needed that! Working at 5:30 tonight so I've got the whole afternoon to kick around in, do a spot or two of cleaning, and generally be lazy. A good way to spend the shortest day of the year, I think. Yes, it's the Solstice, the shortest day of sunlight in the whole year. But it is sunny out, so that's a bonus!

Also a bonus was doing a quick eBay search last night and finding this pattern:

Apparently for men's large, it takes 6 cakes of White Buffalo for the main colour and two for the contrast collar. Well, I have about a dozen (fifteen, maybe?) cakes in stash, so I think I can do it. Ordered the pattern - if my co-worker doesn't like it I can always knit it up for Peter. I did find a nice one on the Lion Brand site also, but it's a worsted weight. Saved for future reference.

So last night, the folks came over for my homemade corn chowder and biscuits, and a short visit (also to pick up the Christmas turkey!) It was a nice quiet evening, and I got to work on my sock some more - I think I've got about 6" of leg done. Might get to the heel today if I keep the lazy trend going and watch a movie this afternoon (so tempting... I'm definitely in a Holiday Inn mood now!) I got all my groceries yesterday and I swear to all the gods of retail I am not setting foot in any store other than Michael's until after New Year's. Two hours and three stores just to get some basic groceries and baking supplies. Good Grief!

Anyway, happy Solstice to all and to all a good (LONGEST OF THE YEAR) night. Somehow that seems appropriate, since I'm closing at the store tonight. Wish me luck!
