Weekend Storm
We had quite an adventurous weekend. On Saturday we went to Ikea and bought a TV stand and some other randomness like this lamp, sitting next to my sheep print.
I really do like Ikea. After some cursing, Chris got the TV stand together and I think it makes the whole livingroom look much nicer. Plus it's actually strong enough to support our tv without bowing in the middle - for now.
See what's on the TV? We've been watching the Frontline documentary by David Sutherland, Country Boys. We tivoed it and we're on part three now. This is a really interesting story of two boys growing up in Kentucky. It's really engrossing to watch these two kids growing up in a place that is so different from where I have lived. The pace of their town and the way people talk makes it feel like a historical documentary, but it's very recent. I highly recommend it. I'm sure someday the DVDs will be available for renting, but right now you can watch the whole show online.
Saturday night a storm blew through and on Sunday when we woke up we had no power. The power was out from 9am to about 5 or 6 pm. It finally came back on right when we were about to leave to sleep over our friend's house. The power being out sucks, but we cleaned the whole apartment and ran some errands.
I've been working on a few knitting things, but nothing I'm ready to really show yet. This is a secret project and I cannot yet reveal what it is.
I'm full of secret knitting projects lately!

Ah, I love IKEA. I have to get over there sometime... I just love to browse through ;)
Patons Divine, right? I like that yarn! I have a scarf and some wristlets in that same colorway. Can't wait to see the finished knit!

I love the lamp and the TV stand. V. Cool. I have an Ikea giftcard that is burning a hole in my pocket...just not enough to drive to Atlanta. Yet.
That yarn looks yummy!

Oh man, we need a new tv stand sooo bad. Do you know what that one is called? The one we have now SWAYS if you accidently knock up against it. Dangerous? Um yeah.
