When my stepsister left for Edmonton, my stepdad made her a DVD with pictures and videos from family trips all the way back to 2001 - which we just realized is getting to be a very long time ago.
Tonight we watched it again and it always amazes me how perfect Stepdad's choice of soundtrack is for our family. Good job, padre, good job.
The life of a new graduate is tough. Trying to blog about it is even tougher, but I'll get over it.

look at me go!
Well, look at that! A second post in a relatively short period of time! And I'm feeling much better today [other than a small headache but I'm ignoring it until it goes away]
Today is going to be a lazy day - my day off for the week, and a rainy one at that. One of my major goals of today is doing laundry and possibly dragging a suitcase up from the basement. Why a suitcase, you may ask? Well, let me tell you! Sunday Kyleman and I will be heading off on a wonderful vacation pour deux. It is super exciting since this is our first week-long trip together ALONE.
We'll see if both of us come back at the end of the week. Hehe.
In other news, this is what I accomplished today:
Purl Soho's Short Row Sweater in Tanis Fibre Arts Fingering. I am in love with this and have enough left over for some socks!
I also started this last night
It's a leg warmer for a cutie-patootie little girlie I know. I've been debating the colour scheme I chose - The stockinette part is actually two different shades of pink, it's just funny how a like they became once I started knitting it. Now it makes me wonder if the cuff is too drastic a change. Although little girls seem more open to slightly mismatched things.
I also realized how many projects I have on my plate and how many more should be on my plate, not including projects I want to do just because. Let me count the ways:
1. The sweater my mother connived me into
2. a wedding afghan for my friend [ay carumba]
3. these leg warmers
4. a baby shower present for my darling friend - which is really difficult for me because I want to make her so much! But because it's a gender surprise, I'm going to have to save all the cutie-patootie girlie stuff until after the birth [I think it's going to be a girl; I've only been wrong once]. Yes, Ewa, I am talking about you.
5. my socks!
