It's really tragic how obsessed I am with knitting porn. (No, you sickos, that doesn't mean naked people in knit lingerie, it means pictures of stuff I would eventually like to make. Although I have to admit that this little confection would be pretty tempting if only I had anyone to share it with ...

I suck. I just cancelled my massage for this afternoon. I can tell myself that I already spent my massage money on jewelry (which is true), but it just doesn't help much ( Read more... )

I changed my mind. The weather has moved on from melancholy to positively terrifying. We're having frequent (several times a minute) lightning, loud thunder, and hailstones 1cm+ in diameter pelting violently against my windows. I hope nothing breaks. And I hope it stops hailing, or at least, stops hailing so hard that my windows are leaking. I ( Read more... )

Le sigh. It's been quite a weekend. Not much to do, so there wasn't much to distract me from the matters at hand: the debacle of the discombobulated DVD player, and, more significantly ... well, read on ( Read more... )

Happy New Year to those who celebrate. A good and sweet year full of successes large and small, love, laughter, and good friends. May you know more peace and contentment in the coming year.

Shana tova u'm'tukah. G'mar chatima tova. A good and sweet year. May you be inscribed in the book of life.

I really have no intention of getting married any time soon (possibly ever -- I'd like to get married, but I certainly want to leave my options open). For goodness sake, I don't even have a serious significant other! And yet, after attending four weddings in three weekends (five over the course of the summer), it's nearly impossible not to start ( Read more... )

I had a low-key but very nice birthday. A walk in the morning (OK, it was at 6:30am, but other than that it was nice -- and my friends sang me the hasher version of Happy Birthday). Bagels at work, and I managed to convince 8 other people to come out to lunch. Unfortunately, the poor service turned it into a 2 hour long ordeal, much to my lack ( Read more... )
