Today was really really really busy, but the good kind.
The kind that doesn't involve anything like school.
I woke up bright-eyed sand bushy-tailed promptly at 7:32 and forced myself to get up and get ready to go to tally (after my morning coffee, of course).
So I left and got to Joann's around 10 ish and took my time looking around for the right shade of red, and the right weight and feel fabric.
I finally found the perfect fabric, but of course, there is going to be a really sketchy and lack amount...because apparently that is my luck.
But I decided to run with it and make the best of it with a liner fabric instead of doubling over.
While standing in line, a woman had decided, for whatever reason, that bringing her 1 - 1 1/2 year old child to a fabric store would be a wonderful idea...but she did, and it was awful. It was screaming the ENTIRE time that it was in the store, and specifically in line when I had to stand and look at it, as it screamed, unconsoled.
The only time that it stopped screaming was when it made eye contact with me and I snarled at it (duh, I made sure the mom wasn't looking).
I don't often do that because I can imagine that things like this come with being a mom and sometimes unhappy children are just tired, but this one wasn't really unhappy, you could tell by the intervals and look on its face that it was just doing it for the pure enjoyment it got from everyone else's displeasure.
Kids these days.
So after that little adventure I made a few other stops:
I went to Guitar Center to look and see if they had gotten any cheaper drum stools...of course not.
Then I went to BAM and looked around some and found this jewel:
Nightlight: A Parody
I haven't seen or read the originals, but I almost want to suffer through it so that I can fully appreciate both this 154 page book and the RiffTrax.
The checkout girl approved, saying that what she hated most was that many people were comparing the skill level of the writer of the "Twilight" series to that of J.K. Rowling and the like. I have ready several of the Harry Potter series myself and thoroughly enjoyed her use of descriptive words and imagery, while never really getting into the whole fan-following portion of it, but I can see how that would peeve said cashier.
She told me not to waste my time with Twilight.
As if I needed someone to tell me that....haha.

After BAM I ended up going to lunch at "Mongo," which was a really cool little Mongolian/Hibachi type place where you pick your ingredients and they cook it in front of you, much like "Than's".
Very tasty, and the owner was incredibly friendly and attentive.
I love it when the owners are just as/more involved than their employees.
My delicious lunch!
Brown Rice, Broccoli, cabbage, shrimp, steak, and egg, with special secret sauce mixture, mixed by the owner!
It was very good, and the service was great.
After lunch I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to go to FSU's Mag Lab to see the World's largest magnet.
They were having a big event open to the public, so there were many children, and attractions that would not only grab the attention of a 7-year-old, but also of, say, a 20-year-old?
OWL.
YEYAH.
It was injured by a car (i think) about 35 years ago.
Apparently they can live up to 40 years in the wild and even possibly another 20 in captivity!
Amazing!
This machine was nuts...I don't remember what it was called, but it shoots X-rays like a little ray gun.
This was their super-secret-master plan.
....I couldn't understand a single thing.
All that I saw were little complicated drawings and some of the alphabet mixed in there.
And THIS....
....is the 45 TESLA Hybrid! The largest and most powerful magnet in the world!
If you multiply the space that it takes up by about 15, you'll get the amount of space that the machines take up that keep the thing cool so that it doesn't melt!
It's actually two magnets, "superconducting" and "resistant" magnets.
Very awesome...

When I got home, I attempted to take a power nap with kitty,
But I just couldn't go to sleep. And she wouldn't move from her spot (where I normally sleep).
So no nap for me u___u;;
The sky was beautiful on the way over to Dustin and Lucas's house tonight...
it was starting to really catch the colors of a rainbow, but I didn't take the picture in time!
It was so beautiful, I need to start taking my camera around with me everywhere...
We went to Wal-Mart to get some snackies to sneak into the movie...
I got Starburst, Werther's (more for my itchy throat in the coming week), Cadbury eggs (because I love them), and an AMP energy drink so that I could be giddy.
I haven't had an energy drink in years and it was nuts.
I still have half of it left.
"The Crazies" was outstanding, very gory, very intense, very suspenseful, but amazing.
So good.
Worth every penny.
I lost two $5 bets against Dustin today...
I need to stop making bets.
Apparently I'm not good at it....
Hope everyone's day was excellent!
おやすみなさい！
