I’m not Denny Crane…



God save me from supermarkets on Friday afternoons :)  I’m not the most patient shopper in the world to begin with and when stores are crowded and aisles are too narrow to allow two carriages to pass one another, I get a little frantic.  I’m not a full blown claustrophobe, but when I get boxed in and can’t move backwards or forwards, I get just a little panicky.  However, dad needed a couple of things and I wanted to have enough on hand so that we wouldn’t have to go out this weekend if we didn’t want to.

Mission accomplished :)

I’ve been watching Boston Legal (the first three seasons are available on DVD) which I have been meaning to check out, but which I had never seen before this week.  I highly recommend it.  Shatner and Spader work wonderfully together and Shatner is especially impressive as the eccentric Denny Crane.  More than that, the show can be utterly hilarious - something I did not expect from a prime time program involving the legal profession.  My only objection so far is that all the women are Barbie Dolls - pretty, plastic and brains optional.  I know that Candice Bergen joins the cast at some point and I’m hoping that her presence will correct this somewhat.

The baby blanket is coming along nicely and I’m really enjoying the almost mindless knitting.  Everything just flows nicely and it’s all very soothing :)  The only thing I was concerned about - and you all know I get a little obsessive about this - is whether I’d have enough yarn.  Having reached the end of the first skein this morning, I can tell you now that I should have more than enough - so I don’t have to worry about that any more.  Yippee!
