Weekend vibe

 TGIF

  Tomorrow is bead class. This is the sample for the project.

 And mine will have:

 I think it will work together well.

 The enchirito recipe turned out mostly well last night. I will pull back on the spices in the meat the next time. Otherwise, very tasty.

 

 Tonight, I'm not cooking. Last weekend, I either cooked it or we fended for ourselves. The weekend before I bought the take out both nights. I'm. Not. Cooking. or. buying. tonight. 

I will be buying tomorrow night after bead class. 

Nothing else, just the usual.

 

 Have a good weekend

Much love,

I'm awake ... no I'm not ...

Thursday.

We've got BattleBots tonight. I'm going to make Steve's favorite from Taco Bell years ago,  if not decades ago, but isn't on their menu anymore ... enchiritos. 

 

 The name comes from the combo of burrito and enchilada, so they say. I found a copycat recipe that I'm going to try.

 

 Otherwise, I make no promises of what I'm doing tonight. Maybe beads. Maybe read. Probably not weave things. Definitely sleep things.

 

 

Have a good day

 

Much love,

Not feeling it today

Wednesday. Not really too bad.

I finished the peyote bracelet last night. I just need to put on some jump rings and a clasp. If I do some beading tonight I may do the Dutch Spiral or thread the bead loom.

 

 Nothing's really wrong or bad or anything .... I just feel like I want a break. From people. From work. From the intentional decline of our country. From over-explaining when I somehow must have switched to speaking to Swahili because no one understands what I'm trying to say so I get sick of the sound of my voice or conversely having to bite my tongue to keep the peace. 

 

 Just a little down time. A long weekend. 

 

 Because I always struggle instead of surrendering. 

 

Or tonight I may just read or watch something on streaming. Steve has the gun range tonight so it will be just me and boys until about 7:30.

 Have a good day

 Much love,

Everything's fine. Why do you ask?

 Tuesday.

 I'm just about done with the black and white peyote stitch bracelet. Tonight should do it. 

 

 Then I think I'll continue - or start over on - the Dutch Spiral bracelet.

 

 I'm currently reading SUICIDE RUN by Nathan Lowell. 2nd of Smugglers Tales trilogy in the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper universe.

 

A new ship. A young crew. A dream job gone horribly wrong.
When circumstances drive Zoya and Natalya to accept an offer from the most powerful organization in the Western Annex, it looks like their ship - literally - comes in. The job fails to live up to its promise and the pair soon find themselves fighting for their lives against a booby trapped ship and its unseen master. Will they unmask their enemies and survive their Suicide Run?

Published 2018; 379 pages. What can I say? I'm in a Sci Fi mood and these are hitting the spot. And Humans in Space Without Aliens are hard to find.

We have Curse of Oak Island on TV tonight. I don't know yet what we're doing for dinner. 

 

 Have a good day

 

Much love,

Who said it could be Monday again

 

 Monday

 I didn't do a whole lot this weekend. Napped a bit because I could. I didn't do anything with the weaving loom. I played a little with the bead loom. And I beaded a little last night.

 

 Tonight we have Street Outlaws to watch and something with hamburger for dinner. I'd like to bead a little.

 

Have a good day

 Much love,

Ah, the weekend at last

 TGIF

 

As mentioned previously, no bead class tomorrow. Just gonna stay home and have LOOM weekend. Put together the Cricket loom (assembly required) and watch some class videos. 

 And I'd like to finally maybe start doing the bead loom. 

 

I've had that loom for a couple years -- the manager is big on loom beading so I got one nearly right away but never used it. And I missed the project we did at the bead shop a few months ago because I was ill. 

 

Or I may just nap all weekend.

 

 And some reading. And even some cleaning maybe.

 

Have a good weekend

 

Much love

Can juuuuuussst see the weekend from here

 Thursday

 

Currently reading MILK RUN by Nathan Lowell. 1st of  Smugglers Tales trilogy in the Tales from the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper universe.

 

Academy graduate Natalya Regyri stood first in line for her pick of Engineering Officer jobs, until, at the graduation party, a classmate turned up dead. Now, betrayed by her friends and framed for murder, she must flee beyond the reach of the Confederation...and any semblance of civilized society. With a damaged second-hand ship and TIC interceptors dogging her step, she nets a smuggling contract that might just get her back on her feet and in control of her destiny. But only if she's willing to make an ore run back to the place she's wanted for murder, and into the arms of the authorities......who somehow know she's coming.

 Published 2016; 345 pages.

No Battlebots on tonight. It may be time to renew the Disney Plus channel for a month and watch The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

 

 I think it's only six episodes so we can watch it over two or three weekends and then cancel.

 No bead class this weekend so I won't be going to the shop. It is time to step up the loom lessons.

 

Here's another reason why weaving is attracting me. This photo shows how different the fabric looks with only changing the weft (the yarn that goes back and forth side to side). The warp yarn (strung up and down) is exactly the same in all these swatches.

 

Isn't that cool? One interesting thing I don't think I've noted here but I have mentioned to a couple people recently: All three of my hobbies/leisure activities can be done without electricity. Reading, beading, and now weaving.  I just use electricity for lights -- it could be done by candlelight if need be. Steve is totally screwed if the zombie apocalypse happened or EMP attack with his computer gaming eventually.

 

 But he would probably just go shoot things. Also all three of my interests are solo activities. No team or partners required. I can do them anytime without having to wait for people to show up, etc. Plus it suits my temperament.

 

 

 Looking forward to the weekend.

Have a good day

 

Much love,
