it's not life that matters but the journey...

I meant to write something this week but it just got away from me ( time that is)...

where did it go exactly? Monday night was spent baking cookies (pumpkin, oatmeal and choco chip - yummy). I'm so domestic these days with my baking and knitting. but it's all very therapeutic. Tuesday and Wednesday were just busy, cooking doing stuff online (but not LJ), talking on the phone with family, watching the last season of Six Feet Under (I'm almost done - it took me so so long to watch this show!). and tonight, I finally had a lesson in knitting. I had learned the basic stitch from my friend Sarah, and have been practicing, but I didn't know what to do with it. I need to start a project, so I signed up for one of the basic knitting classes at Michael's craft store. At first I was a bit worried because when I got there at 6:30 the teacher was not there. I had gone yesterday to register (you're supposed to go 24 hours prior to pay and register), and I even called before driving there tonight to make sure it was okay. But apparently, the teacher had called to see if anyone had signed up and someone stupidly told her NO. Luckily they got her on the phone and she was there by 7 p.m. only 30 minutes late. She gave me two hours one on one, so I learned SO much. She even copied, by hand no less, a pattern for a baby afghan from a book so I didn't have to buy the book! She taught me purling, binding off, and how to do a checkerboard pattern. Also she showed me how to make slippers, so I can do baby booties! She even got me a 40 percent discount on the circular needles I bought and 10 percent off the yarn! I'm gonna start the blanket as soon as possible and I can also go on Friday nights and meet with her and two other ladies for help on my projects. I'm so excited.

We're supposed to get our first big snowstorm tonight - after midnight I guess. it was supposed to come this afternoon but got "delayed." It's unbelievably cold out there - the temp has dropped more than 20 degrees in the last two days, and will only be 15 degrees Sunday. Guess winter's finally here.

sorry if I'm behind on comments and emails. I'll catch up this weekend. right now I have to post my daily actor (I'm doing that community alone these days - eek!), and then go to bed. I'm exhausted!

have a great Friday everyone and stay warm (unless you're in California you lucky ones!!)
