Everyone else in BlogLand is showing off their Christmas trees, so here’s my wee little tree with it’s wee little gifts underneath it. The gifts under the tree are gifts from me to TheBoy’s family which will be given on New Year’s Day at Christmas2. There are 2 more presents to be added, after I read more

No, I have not lost my Christmas Presents. There have been a lot of them in this apartment, being as that TheBoy and I have created or bought small gifts for a total of a dozen folks, numbering to about 40 presents or so. (Like I said, many small things, like handmade magnets and beaded read more

I’ve spent the past 4 hours sitting at the computer working in CAD. I have mouse claw. I hate CAD. In fact, since it was never required of me, I never used it during undergrad, until my thesis project. I’m much more adept with it now, although I doubt that I’ll ever enjoy working in read more

I’m having a really hard time coming to grips with the time of year this year. I am entirely unused to this climate and may go crazy when my winter never comes. With highs in the 50’s and lows in the 30’s this is nothing like my past five winters in Fargo, the 2 winters read more

Kristi’s mitts!

I have had a migraine all day. A migraine that hasn’t had anything make it better, not my computer glasses, not medication, not a nap in the dark. So I figured I’d take a hot bath and hope that helped. Well, it was helping and then my downstairs neighbor came flying upstairs and laid on read more

My sister’s package should be on its way by now. I slept late this morning and TheBoy was already gone by the time I got up. However, the box is gone and he promised to take it in on his way out of town this morning. I wrapped everything last night, five small boxes in read more

The problem is that I have to wait until after my Christmas knitting is done to start it. That makes me antsy and sad because I really like it and want to read more

So, after some quality time together tonight, TheBoy told me that he almost cut off his hair today. So I asked him if he was going to go to the barber, or just take his clippers to it. I’ve been dragging my feet on the whole him-cutting-his-hair-thing because I like it long (by long I read more

Today has been a lovely-good day for me. I had a meeting with a professor for the project I’m working on, it was very cool to get to talk to him outside of the strictly classroom setting. I also got back my final and term project from his class. I wrote the term paper in read more

Well, after a weekend of doing pretty well nothing but knitting and sleeping (and some Christmas shopping too I suppose) the piles of gifts are starting to accumulate in my apartment. I’m going to organize things soon since I’d like to send my sister’s gifts to her soon since she will be staying in Illinois read more

I am consumed with knitting. That’s all I did last night and all I’ve done today. I will be working at a paid, non-knitting, architecture related project for the next few weeks or month or so that I’m very excited about but I’m not sure how much I can say about it. Suffice it to read more
