i have made three scarves in a week. i am a crocheting machine. i'm especially a fan of the latest one- it is long (longer than i planned, actually. it's gotta be like 6 1/2 feet!) and soft and seasonal! it looks christmasy, so i'm excited to wear it around. "i love your scarf!" they will all say. "where'd you get it?" and i will respond gleefully with "i made it myself, bitches." only i won't say "bitches," i will just think it. not that i think my family members are bitches.
we're going to wisconsin tomorrow. coming back friday. it'll be a nice short trip, and of course we'll swing by iowa to see grandma and ray. and mini road trips with kyle are usually a good time, especially since mom spotted him some gas money. lord knows i don't have any.
as usual i'm totally in it for the food. i'm hoping for lotsa grandma-made christmas goodies including, but definitely not limited to, caramel-and-rice-krispy-coated marshmallows. man i love those things and haven't had them in forever.
in other news. i'm still here. by that i mean i'm not there... this is all mentality-related, of course; probably vague, too. maybe i'm getting there, i don't know. honestly i don't really want to be there yet. i'm quite content to stay where i am, even though i'm sure it's probably not the best thing. i'm just going to take my sweet damn time and not care that i'm not exactly myself. does it matter? oh, probably. i just wonder though, even after i get to this metaphorical place i'm speaking of, if i'll still be quite so ridiculous.
still wondering how i got here in the first place. or when.
i've discovered that i'm quite fond of lists. not, like, short-term to-do lists; eff that noise. i mean long-term lists, or lists to have around, just because. the kind that's just there to look at every so often for nostalgia purposes, or to be reminded in a different way. i have all those. definitely posted the long-term list the other day. i have a nostalgia one. and i'm working on two others: 100 things about me and 100 things that make me happy. the latter could also potentially be called 100 things i love; i think it's interchangable. maybe i'll post them when i finish.
five days 'til christmas (we saw santa, kate!). twelve days until the new year. i'm going to stick with tradition and not make any resolutions. tradition number two will involve conan's central time zone countdown- whatever my plans end up being on new year's eve, there better be a tv around for conan.
speaking of conan. new york! twenty days. need money. new york! shows! ray's pizza! conan! times square! tkts! the subway! landing in new jersey! ice skating in rockefeller center! new york effing city! squeeee!!!!
