• Staying up until 3 am is much more fun if you are knitting/quilting/reading a good book/hanging out with friends than it is if you are working.
• Working until 3 am is OK if you can do it in your sweats/PJs and it buys 24-36 hours of guilt-free field trip with mom and aunt.
• Barnes & Noble sucks. First the one at South Hills Village was mean enough to my closest-to-home knit group that they moved to the nearby Borders. Now, the host B&N for Hurricane Knitters has decided to close (along with almost all the other 'Burgh B&N locations) at 9 pm instead of 10. They made this change on Sunday and only had teenytiny signs announcing the fact. We were all surprised when they announced at 8:55 pm that they were closing in five minutes [side note: the collective "WHAT?!?!?!" from our string of tables was probably pretty amusing]
• Giant Eagle didn't like that five of us sat in the cafe to talk and knit for an hour or so until our normal departure time. They sent a scary-looking employee to watch us until we left.
• I am probably going to be not-quite-ready when mom and aunt show up unless I wrap this up NOW.
• I am picking up my pineapple quilt today from the machine quilter. Yay!
• I had several other good ideas for this bullet-point list, but it was 3 am and sleep was a higher priority. Sorry!

Yeah, I'm not a fan of B&N's customer service skills either. Panera seems to treat folks better if you have one by you.
It was great seeing you last night after your long absence! Even though B&N Sucks. I hope we move to Caribou Coffee next time!!
I was awake until 3 AM too, but it was only because I couldn't get comfortable enough to sleep. I hate that! Have fun at the lake!
wow shame on B and N.
what machine quilter do you send your stuff to?
I was up at 3 am because the people upstairs were having sex too loud and woke me up. Definitely a not good reason to be awake at that hour either.
What is it that's so threatening about a group of women with some yarn? I will never understand these places -- we come in, we buy things, and they find ways to kick us out! Ugh.
Can't wait to see your quilt!
