And trying to get over it. Wednesday, December 8, 2010. Wishing for a(nother) winter wonderland. I gotta say it: christmas always comes too fast. i would like there to be 2 months between thanksgiving and christmas. there are just not enough days for me to prepare. and i am even more behind than i've been in previous years. christmas cards not even started yet! That should be interesting, and nice. well, it will have to suffice). I thought you didn't like all this cold." i said: "what? I don't like gray.

Not to be constantly griping about the weather, (the local news DID call the month we just had "mayvember" by the way, AND area billboards have taken to suggesting we take a break from the "sweltering 68 degrees" - with a beer, and that "who needs the sun? In an effort to focus on the positive, i thought i would post some sunny pictures. i like to follow the sun around, so here we are catching some rays at greenlake. And many days, even cloudy days, the s...

So, remember that excited post. That ended with some great fall knitting? Knitted in wonderful cascade ecological wool.

It just isn't what i want right now! Ps that's the same yarn i knitted the mara shawl out of for rachel. She needs to send me a photo so i can share! What are you knitting right now?

And trying to get over it. Wednesday, January 5, 2011. And so it begins: another new year. Am i still eating boxing day meatballs? Why, yes i am. and am i still drinking leftover mulled wine?

If you are wondering if a 6 party skype is possible, well, it is! And now it's a new year. So that is top of my new list. He got his first cell-p...
