FMM - FO Friday Plus a Mini ComparisonEasy Weight Loss

I went to Target the other day for some exciting purchases like cat food, but first I stopped in at the in-store Starbucks to get my free drink (thanks to their reward program).  They had a bin of cup holders to take and attach to your shopping cart, which I think is a great idea - more than once I've tipped over my drink and even losing just a little bit makes me so sad:
You can put it anywhere, inside or outside of the cart. 

When I was leaving Target and walking toward my car, I had to stop and take a picture because the juxtaposition between my Mini and the pickup truck was too funny:
Talk about a size difference!
This isn't even the largest truck on the roads around here, by far.  I don't feel like I'm driving a small car while I'm in mine but seeing it like this?  Umm, yeah.

By the way, this area is referred to as the new car parking area - side of the building where fewer people park.  I don't mind the longer walk in, especially when I can get that particular spot next to the grass island and have one side of my car protected from dings.

Remember when I showed you all of the sock yarn that I'd dumped out?  Well, I saw some leftover yarn that needed to become a baby hat:
I had just enough to squeak this one out!  Yarn is The Cozy Knitter's Bliss, colorway is confetti.  Pattern is Super Stretchy Baby Hat.

I named it Sweet Pastels but I really should have called it We Interrupt This Project because that's what happened - I stopped knitting my socks to make this.  Luckily it only took me a couple of days, and I'm back on my socks.  Oh - the socks that I made using this yarn were this pair:
I finished these back in November 2017 - they are still looking great which is nice considering I've worn this pair a lot, as I love the colors so much.

File this under it helps to have friends - Jeff has been needing to get sand for a small brick paver project but without a pickup truck to haul it, he was looking at buying bags and bags of sand from the home improvement store.  Jimmymeow to the rescue!  He hooked us up with a yard of sand delivered from a mix-on-the-spot concrete truck, which I didn't know existed:
Nothing like a nice big truck to signal project time!
Inspector Paco approved.

Jeff has today off from work so it looks like he'll get this party - er, project, started!

Well it's springtime in Texas, where the weeks are beautiful but the weekends are rained out.  It's also parent's weekend for Texas A&M which means hunker down and stay home for the locals.  Luckily I have my knitting and HBO - we reactivated our subscription because Game of Thrones is starting on Sunday night, but this means I can also catch up on movies and shows that I've missed.

Have a great weekend!
