hi ho hi ho off to the...

crack dealer i go.

well, rather I went. This morning, I made my inauguaral trip to my brand spankin new NEIGHBOORHOOD DRIVE THRU STARBUCKS. I didn't drive through- I wanted to stop in, and introduce myself to my new best friends, or rather my dealers. All seemed so nice and sweet, especially Chuck, a rather sweet 65 year old gentleman who crafted me a rather tasty non fat vanilla latte this morning.

This weekend was divine. I spent the entire weekend doing what I wanted. How selfish, I know. I spent most of the time working in my garden, repotting my plants and working in my patio beds. I have an entire potting station off my patio now that is great to work in. I need to figure out a way to make this a permanant solution that I can utilize all year long. I also started planting some bulbs that I will be forcing this winter.

I visited with quite a few friends this weekend- had people over to my house off and on for wine and conversation, and then met up with a group yesterday for football later in the day.

I started a knitting project, but I think I am going to rip it out. The yarn is called "Poodle", a great black that indeed looks like a black poodle, but its not coming out really well on the 10.5's- I generally am a really loose knitter, and for once I think I am knitting too tight. I guess I am going to re-guage on 11's and see what happens. For those of you that don't knit, I am pretty sure this past paragraph might have well been written in swahelli, but it torks me off, as I have about 7 inches of this scarf pattern done with the bobbles and I just hate it.

So, this concludes my Monday morning musings before I hurl myself in the world of *ahem* business. (was that general enough for you)

I found two new recipes that I am going to post, as well as a few new items that I am in love with.

Check back later.
