Friday night, Rick and I went out to the California Academy of Sciences for a company party. It was fun. Penguins! Cuttlefish! Planetarium! Free food! Photos (barely sorted) here.

Saturday was craft day, and [livejournal.com profile] vixter came over, and so that was fun. In the morning, Rick and I went to a class on growing biointensive, and he went back for another class later.

Saturday night we went to see Gamer, a movie with Gerard Butler, which was obnoxious and lacking in taste, but had some competent performances and interesting fight scenes. Overall, it's a miss. The first part was mostly action, the middle part mostly philosophical, and then the last part was completely different, so it felt like the writer/director didn't really get how to make a cohesive piece. Still, Michael C. Hall is every bit as creepy here as he is in Dexter.

Sunday, we got up relatively early, went to Draeger's for their Gluten-free club (more about that later) and picked up some things before heading over to my mother-in-law's for her birthday.

And now we're tired.

The cats are getting along well. I woke up Sunday morning to a little kitten mew and I looked down and saw the kitten looking out at the cat door and the big kitten looking in at the cat door -- almost like there was a mirror there that made cats bigger or smaller.

OMG, what a busy week.

Monday we went out to dinner.
Tuesday was Spamalot.
Wednesday I started organizing my stash.
Thursday I blew everything off because I was so bushed after yoga.
Tonight we had the company's product launch party, and then I came home and did more stash work.

I completed less than 1/3 of what I'd hoped.

The office currently contains 15 boxes of stash, and there's another 6 outside the office -- and then there's 28 I've moved to the garage tonight -- and the ~10 I can't even reach right now. Of those 28, I've only cataloged 13. I was hoping to have everything ready.

Each tote (you've seen them, right?) can hold about 60-70 skeins of yarn, depending on type. Now granted, some of these totes hold projects I'm in the middle of (for very ancient definitions of "middle"). Some have projects in one container, and the yarn in another, one skein here, another there.... That depresses me. Tonight, I found the colored yarn for a project I'd wanted to do, but it required a white base yarn and I haven't found that yarn yet. I have a sinking feeling that I no longer have it.

I'd like to have little enough that I can actually enjoy knitting again and be able to find what I'm looking for, etc.

And then there's the spinning. Oy, do I have spinning stash (counted in the above).

Why on earth did I think I needed an entire pound of pink bubblegum-colored superwash wool fiber? ::hangs head::

Anyhow, I'm worried that no one will show up, and no one will want my weird little boxes of goodness even at my OMG-you-so-want-pink-bubblegum-fiber-at-this-price prices, so even if you can't make it, I'd appreciate it if you'd say a kind thought or prayer for my success.

(I'm so glad pens take up less space....)

But before all that fun, we have a gardening class at 10:30, so I'm going to sleep for a few hours. G'night!
