If you need something to......... Holy Hera!!!!! My house is shaking...... Woooooo! That was a long one. Didn't really shake (at least upstairs) but it made the house sound really loud with the rumbling and the....... well rumbling. We haven't had an earthquake in a while and that was a good one. I'd say a five or six. I think it really shook the downstairs because it freaked the kids out and they were downstairs. Normally they don't even notice them.
Anyways..... good summer movies to pass the day time while I'm reading Harry Potter and you're still waiting for it to come out in your fellow bookstore (sorry I couldn't resist with the mocking). Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix....... a definite must see for the Harry Potter fan. It was a good one. BUT, I have to say that my favorite movie to date this summer is Transformers. Shia LeBouf was so cute and his dialogue kept me laughing. The action was AWESOME!!!! I can not stress that enough. AWESOME!!!!!! I left the theatre quiet because if I started talking about the movie I was going to start jumping up and down like a kid screaming to everyone about how AWESOME that movie was. I wanted to burst out of my skin, I was so psyched after seeing that movie. AWESOME!!!! Did I mention it was AWESOME!!!!!? I was an occassional watcher of the cartoon when I was a kid so a die hard fan may love it, but then again they may hate it...... being the biggest critique as well as fan. The special effects were just...... WOW, and the humor was great.
Twelve more hours for Harry Potter. They don't have any midnight madness for the bookstores here, otherwise I would only have four more hours and I'd be jumping out of my skin in excitement. As it is right now my stomach is all butterfly...er.....y. Yeah.... something like that. I have my scarf bag that I made and I'm going to carry my book home in it :-)
Still plugging away on the blouson. That 10 inches of St st is kicking my butt. Lots of sts in St st in the round. It's taking forever. I'm averaging a row or two a day. I'm ready to start something new and might make a hat out of the Rowan Calmer that I have even though it's not really my color...... I've never been one for lavender. It's official name is Tinkerbell and I think that's the only reason why it's endearing to me in any way. If I wind up not using it it'll make a great hat for Lola when we go to Tokyo....... if we get to go to Tokyo ( I really want to go to Tokyo!!!!!). I have yet to be able to save money since we have gotten here. It's really difficult, but we're not struggling. It's more about just staying at home and not going out so much, but it's hard to when it's so beautiful outside. You wind up on the other side of the island using up all your gas and having to buy lunch. We need a cooler.

A Whole Lotta Shakin' Going On
We can add another knitter to our ranks. I have brought Amanda over to the knit side. So far she's working on her garter stitch and I gave her a technique book so that she can start on her purl stitch if she wants to. From past experience I think it'll be easier for her to get the rhythm of knitting first. I knew she was hooked when on her fifth row of struggling she actually looked up and said "This is fun.... and relaxing." When she picked up her kids from my house yesterday I asked if she had knitted anymore she said that she had but had to frog a few rows after finding a mistake. She had set it down after that to let it "rest" before tackling it again. I think every knitter does that. Once you get the stitches back onto the needle, your frustration has grown that you just want to set it aside for awhile.
We had an earthquake this morning. It was a big deal because I've been the only one to feel the earthquakes that we've had since we've been here. They seem to occur early in the morning and my hubby sleeps like a rock. I think he thought I was being paranoid until the day of the Super Bowl the neighbors were able to verify that there had indeed been an earthquake at 4 in the morning. I have a tendency to know it's going to happen a second before it does and it wakes me. I don't know why, maybe there's a subtle shift or groan or something that can tip off some. I was still sleeping this morning at 8 when I woke suddenly feeling "funny". I quickly knew why, about a second before the shaking started and I jumped up to look for the kids. Turns out only Charlie was up and he was downstairs with hubby. It was the strongest earthquake I've felt since we've been here and lasted about 3-4 seconds....which is a good bit of time for an earthquake. The kids have never been awake for an earthquake either so I had jumped out of bed to be there in case it scared them. Lola was still in bed, but Charlie was up and he seemed to think the cat had something to do with all the shaking. I went back to bed. On days when the hubby is home...that's my day off. Lately it's only been one day out of the week so I take advantage of it as much as possible. Usually we all go out together so I don't really ever get the day off......no mother ever does, but it does afford me the chance to sleep in and not have to cook or clean for the day. The hubby makes the meals (he likes to cook), but doesn't really clean so tomorrow I'll hve twice as many dishes to do, but I'll enjoy my "time off" today and maybe go off on my own later and see a movie or grab a latte and a book.
