Day 34 - Valentine's Day

What a great day! We were supposed to go to the Museum of Science to see the Harry Potter Exhibit with Laurie and Rachel, but we discovered it was sold out till after 6pm! We decided to take the kids to see Avatar at Imax instead only to find that they were sold out everywhere. After settling for 3D, which was really cool, we headed out to Natick/Framingham and bopped around the Natick Mall for an hour while we waited.

Laurie and I got some really yummy braising sauces at William Sanoma and I'm eager to try them out this week. The movie was long but I loved it! I was frankly expecting to hate it and was really surprised. Yeah James Cameron!

After a wonderful day, we ate a great meal at Vinny Testa's in Shrewsbury. Now, I've finally found a little time to knit while enjoying the Winter Olympics. All in all, a great day today!

Day 33 - Valentine's Eve - a busy day!

So, I thought that I'd get to enjoy my love of fiber today, but as life would have it, I spent the day of in search of the gifts that would make my loved ones happy! This journey took me the Providence Place Mall and then out to Bristol, RI to find the perfect gift for Dan.

I'd been searching for a trinity knot pendant, but apparently they don't make 'manly' versions of those! While I was there I was browsing the jewelry cases and found it. I knew right when I saw it that it was the perfect symbol of what I feel for Dan. It was a beautiful claddagh ring. We'd thought about getting them as wedding bands but I'd already had the opal one Dan had given me (sadly I lost that at school two years ago) and it would not have worked with the engagement ring he'd given me.

I don't know why it didn't seem at all strange that he would be replacing the ring I'd placed on his finger 17+ years ago, but this just felt right! It may need to be sized, but it looks wonderful and he loves it! I am so happy and I hope that when he looks at it, he remembers how much I adore him!

Needless to say, I've done NO knitting today! How is it that I cannot make time for that anymore? It's vacation! What's up with that?
