Labor Day weekend, post #2: The best laid plans . . .

My big goal today was to go to my first CAL (Crochet Along) at Knit and Caboodle in St. Charles. I cleaned out my crochet bag. (Did I really need all my cotton yarn in there?), put the Claudia yarn I was going to use in it, got my water bottle and set out. As soon as I got to about 50mph, I started hearing a wubba-wubba-wubba sound in the car. The tire pressure light was not on. There was no pull in the steering. Then I remembered hitting the curb while driving home Friday. (How'd that happen?) I figured my front-end alignment was kablooey and it would do neither me nor my car any good to drive all the way to St. Charles, about 25 mi. one way. End of that plan.

So it is back home to put the ballgame on TV (the Cards are ahead at the end of the first inning! Yay!)  I want to finish Casey's blanket today and see if I can get the CAL project started.  Looking over the goals I set on Thursday, I have completed #3 (the watermelon is sweet and delicious), can't do #5, will start the CAL project as next project for #6, finished half of #7, couldn't do #8 (They had other plans) and am doing #9 and #1 at the same time!

1. Finish Casey's car seat blanket
2. Make black bean salad
3. Cut up the watermelon
4. Watch the Oz movie I have from Netflix
5. Join the Crochet Along that begins on Sunday.
6. Figure out which crochet project to start next.
7. Weave in ends on the finished washcloths.
8. Go play with Amelia and Ali on Saturday.
9.  Watch baseball. 
10. Go swimming on Monday.

I am adding  #10 since the pool opens on Monday.  Newly cleaned pool and fresh water!  I should be able to do #3 today and maybe #4.  I should be able to finish #7 also.  It is good to have goals to keep one from being a vegetable.

I'm disappointed about the CAL but maybe I can make it to next week's meeting.
