two days ago…

it was my birthday.

wooooooooooooooooo!

I had a party, so I forgot to get online to go “woooooooooooooooooooooo” on the 19th, but yeah, birthdays are cool.

they sang to me at work.

they actually sang.

and announced it on the intercom thingie.

I had a party, I got some presents, but I didn’t get any cupcakes, my guests ate them… all. I snooze, I lose. But I had some of the birthday cuppie cakes I made for work, but that’s not the same thing, ’cause the ones I made for the party were way cooler: better sprinklies.

yum. and rad.

my scarf

speaking of knitting (the Wednesday, Dec. 10 entry) I’ve had only 3/4 of a skein left to go on my big not-quite-harry-potter scarf. It’s grey, tube-shaped, like the harry potter scarves in the movies… I began making it because, er, well, it’s kind of silly, really:

I wanted to go home for Christmas on a train, and have a long black coat, and a grey scarf, matching hat and mittens, and say “happy Christmas” as I boarded the train.

I crocheted the hat, actually… it was meant to be a “Mrs. Weasley”-type beret, but it came out rather chef-like, really. I like it, though. The scarf has been “almost done” for about a month. I’ve just lost the energy to stare at grey yarn. I put off doing the mittens, too. And besides, my coat is brown. I never had time to make that black one, anyway. (My whole Christmas vacation was inspired by a silly, romantic icea about trains and traveling)

And that hat I was supposed to do for Colleen has been postponed… hopefully I’ll have it done by the end of winter so she can actually use the darned thing.

snow

we’ve finally dug ourselves out of the snow… or, rather, Jesse’s finally dug us out of the snow. We now have a little path leading from our door to the place where the snow plow stopped… it didn’t quite make it down our long driveway. It was fun, though, to tromp through the woods to get to Ruth’s. We only have a couple of trees down, but several branches. It’s going to rain tomorrow– rain alot. I’m glad I took lots of photos, or, rather, that Jesse took alot of photos, before all the snow turns to mud. I’d much rather live in the western part of Massachusetts so that the snow stays until April… ok, maybe not, but this coastal-snow-for-two-days-then-turn-to-muck-immediately stuff is tiring. For most of the winter it’s going to be 35 and rainy, I just know it. Ah well.

I’ll have to whinge about it later… it’s only December, and I’ve got at least three, if not four months of winter ahead of me. heh, heh, you’ve been warned.

I’ve got a JOB! Whee!

I’m working at Marshall’s with Ruth. yay! MONEY!!!!!! but more importantly, FOOD!!!! wooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
