Bocce Ball
Thursday, December 11, 2008 at 9:18PM
Tonight I went out to a get together after work with my boss and team members. This is our very first outing since we formed our group, which is entirely new to the company. I got to suggest the first outing adventure, and I choose Bocce Ball. We have Campi De Bocce in Los Gatos, Ca, and I've went to it before with a previous company.
It was a fun evening, unfortunatley no knitting 8(, but alot of game play. Bocce is an age old game, similar to bowling and or pool. The goal of the game is to get your balls as close to the main ball, closer than your opponents. Each ball you have closer than your opponent is 1 point for your time at the end of the game when all balls have been thrown.
First I should say the scenery and ambience is very nice, in fact this is the first time I've went to play Bocce in about 8 years, and last time was indoors, outdoors is way more fun. I had 2 glasses of a delicious red wine Merlot Lael, very smooth. Everyone else had their own choice of beer, we had Fried Calamari, Lamb Chops, and Tenderloin (YUM-O!).
Here's the gang I work with..
From left to right, it is Rich (my boss), Ernest, ME, Leslie, and Mike. Gosh looking at this, I seriously need a new hairdo, and need to shed count it, at least 20lbs, oh well, guess that's what New Year's Resolutions are for, right?
Sad to say, I have no new knitting, I'm stuck in this odd purgatory knitting this cable beanie, that's turning out to be my worst nightmare. I can cable wihout a cable need now, but I'm not happy with it, and it feels uncomfortable, and too tight. At what point do you give up on a WIP? I've yet to encounter one like this, that for some reason or another just isn't satisfying, but I so desperately want to finish to have it as a present to my hubby. I think I'll give it one more day of knitting it, and hopefully, it will end!
By the way, I also have to start a new TWEED seedlet for my Traveling Scarves 42 Tweed Heads group, because I found out from Cpurl17 that my poor little seedlet was stolen from her doorstep when she left it there to send out. The nerve of people! What a dissapointment they'll get when they open the package to see it's yarn and a journal. It's kind of sad because it has more emotional value than monetary value, I can't imagine they'd get anything for it, it will probably get tossed in the trash. 8( Poor scarfy, I'll send it my best wishes and will start a new one to send off this weekend. ::Ok, I know I sound insane, sorry::
I'll share more with you later on "As the Knitting Turns", (LOL), have a good weekend! TGIF!
