Went and hung out at the Gift of Light Expo yesterday and had a wonderful time. I had been to the Universal Light Expo years ago (like around 10 yrs) and I really enjoyed it but at the time didn't really know what to expect when I went. This time I knew that there would be Psychics, Astrologers, Tarot Card Readers, Palmist and Aura Readers there. I went with my friend Debbie, who had been wanting to go but had never been. We met some ladies that we really enjoyed. I hope to go to the shop where the one lady gives readings to see how it goes. I had really good vibes about her and if all goes well, I'll love to share her information!

Quality Time With My Baby Girl
Today was a rare occasion for me. My other family members went out for the day and I had the house all to myself. It was nice because it was quiet and my doggy, Brandy, cuddled up with me and stayed by my side much of the day. I wouldn't say she is a cuddly dog but every once in awhile she'll be really clingy.
We watched some TV. Well, I watched some TV and she snoozed! I knitted some, she snoozed some more and I read some. I did do laundry and every single time I got up to switch out the loads Brandy would get up and come to the top of the stairs!
I love my quality time with my Baby Girl!

Feeling Tuckered Out Today
I spent a great portion of the day yesterday hanging out with my friend, Andrea, and her two daughters Allisa and Elise. Allisa had a class on the OSU campus so I rode with Andrea to help her find the place and also to offer her company. Waiting for Allisa we hung out at the Panera on campus. That was a treat! I hadn't been to that location before and it offered us the opportunity to see a little bit of campus. It was weird seeing the college students. I thought that most of them looked like kids which was so funny to me considering when I was in college I felt so grown up. Leaving campus we headed downtown to peruse the Main Library. That was an event. Lots and Lots of people downtown! We cruised High Street of course! I couldn't fingure out why it was so busy. We were literally sitting though traffic lights. There were people everywhere not only in cars but walking up and down High Street. After passing the Convention Center, it dawned on me that the Arnold Classic was in town this week. No wonder why there were so many guys with "Guns!"
We made it to the Main Library after I couldn't remember exactly how to get there. I have only been twice and I've never driven there. Anyway, Andrea happened to turn down the right street! Whew! We went in and looked around. I went to the little kids section with her and Elise. Elise is 5 and super energetic. She wanted to see the Tree House and ran for it first! I was so impressed with the kids section. I would love to go and sit and hang out for a day. The kids had so much fun. But the one thing about the Main Library that impresses me is that they display a lot of artwork. This is something that all the Art and Crafty people around the area should look into.
After leaving the library. We headed over to Grandview to Noodles and Company. I had never been before but had always heard that their food was Delish! Andrea treated me to lunch for hanging out with her all day and I must say for myself, the food was Delicious! I didn't know what to expect but the flavors were fabulous!
Andrea dropped me off at home and I then came in and waited for my Mom to eat and get cleaned up so that we could go to Andrea's house and hang out for a little while. We wanted to share with her our treasures from Knit Camp this year. We showed her our favors, our gifts from the welcoming committee as well as the projects we either started at camp or want to do as a result of getting patterns from camp. So all was well and we had a great time!
With all that said, I'm a bit tuckered out from hanging out all day yesterday. However, I am in need of doing some cleaning today because we might have a Senior Knitting Guest coming to visit us next weekend! I won't mention her name because she is so Elusive she only does guest star appearances once or twice a year!

MY BUCKET LIST
I've recently been talking to my Mom and some of my friends about things I want to do. What could be a better time than for me to start a Bucket List. After all, I'm not getting any younger...just wiser!
These are all the things that I can think of right now that I want to do but not necessarily in any order:
1.) Meet my Pen Pal, Trish, in person. (Yes, I have a pen pal! We became Pen Pals in the 5th grade and have been in touch ever since. Now we mostly correspond via e-mail)
2.) Meet Jon Bon Jovi! ( I say that with an exclamation point because I've been to enough of his concerts, read enough articles on him and have seen almost every show that has featured him to feel like I know him.)
3.) Go to New Orleans. I've always known my Paternal Grandmother was born in Louisiana but I didn't know that she was actually born in New Orleans and that she had other brothers and sisters. I would like to research if not meet my family.
4.) Go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras! Yeah, did you think that I could go to New Orleans and not go their for Mardi Gras!
5.) Go to Rio De Janiero for Carnival.
6.) There are a whole bunch of cities/towns (pueblos) in Mexico and South America I would like to visit. I would list them but I don't even know that I could spell them correctly right now.
7.) Go to Spain.
8.) Go to Italy.
9.) Go to Greece.
10.) Go to France.
11.) Go to the UK to hit all the yarn shops!
12.) Go to Australia. Since I know a little more about it now from watching Oprah's adventures there, sad but true, I've been thinking about going.
13.) Write a book. Preferrably more than one but I'll start with one.
14.) Open my own Book/Yarn/Coffee/Pastry shop.
15.) Use up all of my current yarn stash (I know, like that will ever happen!)
16.) Tour the Egyptian Pyramids.
17.) Eat at the Lady and Son's Restaurant.
That's all that I can think of for now. Let's see how long it takes me to do any of the things I have on my list!
