Miscellaneous: September 2005 Archives

Didn't quite mean to disappear so abruptly, but there wasn't much of significance to talk about last week. Unless you want to hear about our exciting attempts to book hotels in Maui or make plans for a weekend visit to Cedar Point. If you know of something excellent that we can't leave Maui without doing, please let me know. We're going to be there for 10 days, so we have a lot of time to explore the island.

After a long weekend of family and roller coasters, you'd think that there would be pictures. But, actually, this blogger left her camera at home and just went along with the ride. Literally and figuratively. I watched my husband ride every crazy ride in the park, got to see some very cute little boys who are the sons of one of my brother's good friends, and realized that I don't do very well with heights. I broke through a new roller coaster barrier -- I went on one that rotated me upside-down (the Raptor) but didn't quite convince myself to be brave enough to try either the Magnum XL-200 or the Millenium Force.

And I finished my goals for last weekend, finally. I have a completed scarf and a fully spun single. But the scarf isn't blocked and the single isn't plied, so no pictures have been taken. Monday should be a better day for progress on those fronts.

If you need a little thrill, click on the link for the Raptor and check out the video. You can get a first-car's eye view of the ride without having to head to Sandusky!
