Another productive day at home. But, another day when I never left the house. That is, until my husband came home and took me on a dinner date! Yep! Since I hadn’t been out of the house since Saturday, Kyle mentioned on the phone early in the day, that he’d like to take me out for dinner and a drink. Well, I latched right onto that, and showered, and got all dressed up at about five-thirty, just in case. He finally broke away from his work obligations around seven, and I was so excited about going anywhere, that I never remembered to take a photo while I was out.
Three guesses where we went, though! 
I’ve taken pictures there, before!
When we got home, there wasn’t enough time for our sickly television set to warm up to watch anything important, so our season premier viewing of Heroes had to wait again. Instead, we watched a crazy little new sitcom called, I think, The Big Bang. This show f-u-n-n-y! At first glance it seemed like another in a long line of roommate comedies with a geek here and a pretty girl there. But, before the first commercial break, we were already grinning. We laughed out loud a lot. The writing is nothing short of brilliant (these writers must actually be MIT graduates!) and the acting is . . . funny! Timing and delivery is everything in a comedy, of course, and these guys have twisted the norm just enough to keep the audience from knowing what’s coming. I was impressed. If the regular weekly fare lives up to the appetizer, I’m in.
While we were watching TV, I snapped a few photos of the fabric around me. I’ve joined a flickr group called MacroFabric. Dedicated, for no good reason, really, to the photography of fabric—close-up. My little camera has a pretty darned good macro feature, and I enjoy using it. So, I snapped the skirt I was wearing (great little skirt I bought last summer and had never worn until I got dressed up for my date), the chair on which I sat, the pillow next to me, and my own arm in my sweater. They all came out pretty well, but I love this fabric in this little pillow so much, I chose it for the KRuMB. It’s one of those fabrics that I’d buy dozens of yards of, if I could ever find it. I have this one little pillow, that we’ve used and abused for years—and that’s it. Can’t you just see the Elizabethan doublet made from this? <sigh>
