holidays go by SO QUICK!
i can't even friggin' believe that my christmas holiday is over, and i have to go back to work tomorrow. i'm having some anxiety thinking about it. i'd hoped to be out and about, visiting, checking out the sights san francisco has to offer. however, i just didn't want to go out in the rain if i didn't have to....plus i've noticed as of the past few months(basically since i've returned from the eastside, but some before that too) that i don't like to leave my apartment that much. after some thought i've come to realize this is also about work; most of the time i leave my home it's to go to work, so not leaving home inherently means not going to work. please bare with me, my friends. it is not without reason my behavior had had a drastic change in the past year. so i hope you don't mind if that's all i say about that, other than it's time for some serious resolution.
there was much consumed along the lines of good food. one of the more pleasant suprises was finding out that a mustardy vinegrette makes a damn fine sauce for poached eggs; who knew?!?!
another thing i worked on while i was at home was calming the chaos of my living space...
there was a bit more involved than i'd originally thought, but you know how that goes....oh i'd better just do this now while it's out, oh, i better deal with this before i forget, oh, you know i should really do it this way since it's all torn apart anyway....
i am pleased with the results, and think it was all worth the effort.
i'm sure you're over it, but i'm not...LOOK! i got nifty buttons for my striped sweater!
i got the first part of the body done on that FAIRLY EASY FAIR ISLE sweater from stitch-n-bitch nation over the weekend.
what the bleep do we know?/how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?
dude, this movie is outta control. i watched it over the weekend and yesterday too, and i know there's still more i can extrapolate from it... please do yourself the favor of watching it, even if it doesn't seem to make much "sense" from the outset.
today, as the most precious last day of my holiday, i finished working on the first arm of the new sweater
it was a bit jumbled, but nothing too bad. however, it did open my eyes as to what i'm in for when i finally get up to the yoke. this is not your brainless knitting folks! it's also not the most fluid, as you're constantly stringing some other yarn along the back.
i started back into LOTR with fellowship; there's something about this woman's corderoy dirndle that i'm wicked feeling
i also did a bit of cooking. since there's one bowl of soup left, i made another entree. the hope being that i'll be eating healthier dinners and lunches if there's more food ready in advance. this is another winning number from the favoritest of cookbooks! it's the zucchini, tomato & swiss pie- YUM FRIGGIN YUM!!!
since i'm talking about cooking, let me just mention how stoked i am on the tomato shark my aunt sent me. it's not necessarily my favorite present, but most definately the one i will use the most...well that and the scraper, even if i was more excited about the microplaner
i can't claim health in the case of the peppermint chocolate chip cookies, but i made them anyway!!!
that'll be a sweet treat tomorrow night, when i'll surely need it most!
