"Fall back" time has almost passed

This coming weekend is when we set the clocks forward ("spring forward"). Allow me a moment to express my disgust at this: GIMME MY HOUR! I WANNA KEEP MY HOUR! It's not like I already feel short of time everyday. Frown.

In the last post, I noted that one way I spent time not reading was knitting. Here's one of the scarves I made while logging many hours of the Real Housewives of Many Cities (many of whom aren't married and are as far removed from real as I can imagine):

I hope you wanted a green scarf cause that's what you're gettin'.

One thing I wanted to do this year was join in the fun on Iron Craft. You'll notice that it is March and I stated that like I've not participated. Well, yes, we're three months in and the thing I thought I would do every week? Nope. My BFF's mom has entered a lot of them, my BFF a couple of them I think, and me, none. Zip. Zilch. This week though, I got motivated and made something Sunday evening while watching the new season of the OC Housewives. This week's challenge was what they're calling a "materials challenge" and we had to make something from a fat quarter in honor of it being Fat Tuesday. I started with a fat quarter and cut out pieces I needed to make an octopus. Turns out that was too hard...so I used about a quarter of the fat quarter to make an owl instead...an owl that looks like a cat...because you could only use the fat quarter and no other fabrics.

Who did a bad job with her fat quarter and her picture-takin' skillz? This girl!

Tonight I was happy there was a new episode of Glee...some of it good, some of it so far over the shark they're about to be back to the jumping point again. I did like a lot of the music this time though. And, as much as it pains me to type it (seriously, I'm sitting weird and one of my arms is starting to fall asleep), Gwyneth is really good on this show! I want her on there more...I think...

Now I'm watching The Last Legion. I've seen it before, but I like it, so I'm watching it again. It's not the best film on the topic, but I enjoy how they weave ancient Britain's mythology into a tale of Roman legions. And they do it way better than The Eagle. Or maybe I'd just prefer Colin Firth and John Hannah any day over Channing Tatum and Donald Sutherland...probably isn't a big mystery.

I'm going to finish this movie, do a little reading, and go to bed for the night. Later!
