I've decided to pick up some of my crafty habits that I had dropped. There's this pair of pants that I want to make and Kay introduced me to her sewing room today, so that project is seeming very feasible. I also got a cross-stitch from the craft store in Hayward and started it. I thought about knitting, but knitting's not really my thing for some reason. Maybe because so many of my friends knit and I like to pretend that I'm somehow different from other people. I'm not the only one who had crafty aspirations today; Caitlin carved an intricate pumpkin and started an ambitious Halloween costume making project.

Tonight we went up to Dennis's for dinner. Cook made dinner, Gregg & Compton made the salad, Fish cleaned up, Dennis made brownies and hosted, and I, well, I carved a pumpkin and enjoyed the evening.
