I had the most relaxing, lovely 4-day weekend ever. On Friday, I visited my friend Susi in the Bay area. We spent the day chatting and took a walk through the neighborhood on this beautiful fall day. The view of the bay was gorgeous and it was sunny and quite warm, despite cooler temperatures.
I started knitting again (with four needles, mind you!) and I’m slowly getting back into it. Some things you don’t forget how to do. Knitting is like riding a bike. I see more knitting projects in my future!
I drank lots and lots of tea. My new favorite tea is the vanilla-cinnamon-black tea from Trader Joe’s. Give it a try if you’re into tea. It’s very holiday-ish.
Other good things this weekend:
phone call with a dear friend ♥ warm socks ♥ baking ♥ movies ♥ coffee ♥ sleeping in ♥ snuggling ♥ reading ♥ a nap ♥ boots ♥ scarves ♥ a hot shower ♥
How was your weekend? Happy Veteran’s Day!

November 13, 2012 at 7:26 amGiven how cold Chicago is and given that I’m always bundling up, you’d think I should get into knitting, too. Then, I could knit a big, warm, fuzzy blanket, instead of complaining about how all our other throw blankets are too darn small!

November 14, 2012 at 4:49 pmI have been knitting more lately, too! I am currently working on an infinity scarf to give my best friend for her birthday in December!
My weekend was wonderful. I spent it in Austin with a best friend from college. They have a 2 year old so it was fun spending quality time with her. I was ready to come home on Sunday as I was homesick after being gone Tues-Sun, but it was a great trip. I technically had Monday off, but went into work and studied for an exam I have to take next Tuesday for work. But i got to wear jeans and it was quiet so it wasn’t the worst day. And now i get to take Friday after Thanksgiving off instead!
