In Which I Simply Update Life

I’m definitely trying to make an effort to blog more often. I feel like this synthesis of the blogging process is good for me. I’m also exploring ways to expand my blogs – maybe a knitting tutorial or twelve? 
We had a great weekend! On Friday, Joe took himself down to the local Best Buy to sit in line for 3 hours with a bunch of other dudes to acquire himself an iPad. He got there shortly before 2, so he was the second guy in line. The first guy was PREPARED I am telling you! He had a backpack with food, a Nintendo DS, a pillow to sit on, and his girlfriend to wait in line with him for bathroom-break-line-holding. I rolled in at 4ish – dudes, I have a job and I have work that has to get done lol. I waited with Joe for the last hour, then we grabbed dinner (TGI Friday’s!) and headed home to his place so he could start playing with it.
One of the lovely features of the new iPad is that it has cameras – Joe has agreed to make me some knitting tutorial videos for the blog, so that will be super-fun! He’s been making movies and recording music ever since he bought it, so this will be good for him.
On Saturday, we held signs in Norwood Town Center for one of Joe and Bill’s friends, Joe Rich, who’s running for Norwood Housing Authority. After a 3-hour wait for an iPad, those 2 hours of sign-holding were nothing for Joe haha. We really did have fun though, and will probably do it again the next time Joe Rich needs us.

On the way home, we stopped at the puppy store in Newton. Sigh. Amanda is right, that place is puppy heroin! I’m definitely feeling the itch.
Saturday night we made our way back to my place, because Sunday morning we were attending The Chili Challenge! It’s an MDA event that I loved every year I was there, and let me tell you, it is WAY more fun not working it! We sampled almost all of the chilis. (We were told there were 3 to avoid, we took a chance and tried one of them, and decided that we’d best avoid the other 2 haha.) We definitely had a clear favorite, so look out for a nacho recipe with a barbecue chili on it! We’re going to start working on a recipe for that!
All in all, it was a great weekend!
