What a great day!

...
The worst thing that happened today is I realized I made a mistake in DD's mittens about 3 inches ago, so I had to rip out a bunch of knitting and do it over.

Now -- if that's the worst thing that happened, wasn't today a GREAT day?

It started great with the news about Saddam, which was the first thing I heard as DH called the news up the stairs. I made a nice breakfast, then headed out for coffee with the girls. Afterwards I finished up my Secret Santa shopping .

Came home, hung out with the kids and DH and watched football, and all DH's picks won, so he's first for the year in his football pool at work. It's not very much $, it's just bragging rights, but he was very cute and happy about all his teams winning.

Later we drove up to Glendale to see the Coyote's new arena. It was only open till 4PM, and we took the loooong way there, so we got there just at 4. They weren't going to let us in but I kinda begged and pleaded and they let us go in for just a second, so at least we got to see it -- it's gorgeous, not a bad seat in the house. We're still trying to eBay tickets for opening night... we shall see.

On the way home we stopped for an early dinner at Rockfish. I got my favoritie, the grilled scallops and salad, with their fantastic remoulade dressing. And a HUGE margarita (that was my carb allowance for the day and then some, probably) Wheeee! Their margaritas are so good, not in the least bit bitter. I don't know what they use that's different from everyone else, but they're just so yummy.

Came home and watched some of the new "Dinosaur Planet" with the kids until their bedtime, started the laundry (so late! eeep!) and settled in with my knitting again.

Tomorrow the rat race starts again, but I know it's only one more week until vacation, and I swear I am more excited about it than the kids are! I just hope everyone stays healthy.

Last night I fell asleep on the couch and didn't wake up until 1:15AM when I dragged my butt upstairs to bed. Technically I think I fell asleep just after midnight, which isn't all that bad. I'd like to do a lot better than that tonight, though.

I have to laugh because I stayed up late last night... knitting!
