Yesterday I went outside for the first time in two months.

I live by a huge park. Yesterday, it was finally warm enough to bundle Bobby up and take a walk. He was very quiet the whole time and stared at the trees. I can’t wait until it’s spring. Spring is my favorite time of year. My birthday is in April and I like to pretend that everything coming back to life is a birthday present just for me.

I ordered some new shoes the other day. When I was little, my mom always bought us one pair of shoes to wear every day until we outgrew them. I’m pretty hard on shoes and I still prefer to wear one pair until they die. Whelp, I’m trying to go back to work and my shoes are not interview worthy anymore, so I bought some Danskos and hopefully they should last for a while.

I love brown shoes. I love Mary Janes. Hopefully these shoes will show off handknit socks.

I need to buy a cord for Larry’s camera so I can put pictures up on this thing. I’ve been knitting quite a bit. I knit a Noro striped moebius cowl without making a gauge swatch. BIG MISTAKE. Now it’s my Noro striped moebius wall decoration. I’m making a Cousteau hat for my father-in-law. During the epic blizzard, my mother-in-law stole his wool hat. Sneaky. And I have a nice cowl that needs buttons and blocking. Maybe that will be my sister’s birthday present.

I’m almost done with The Picture of Dorian Gray. I really like it. We’re reading Love in the Time Of Cholera for next month for Valentine’s Day, and then Island by Aldous Huxley in March for Lost. YEAH! I’m really excited to host book club next month so I can get my bake on.
