Finally!

So finally, after all this time I've had this thing-which-shall-not-be-called-the-name-I-don't like, they have made it possible to just have a profile picture uploaded from your computer instead of the overly complicated put one on the internet, paste the web address here, but good luck doing that because you're clearly not smart enough to figure out how to make that work. I was clearly not smart enough to make that other way work. But this is my profile picture du jour (myspace, facebook, etc). So in case you forgot what I look like (or are stumbling upon this for the first time and reading it) here I am. And yes, I know that's pretty small, so here I am again:

I had an action packed weekend (not really). I got up bright and early on Saturday because I had to go into the city to get my "hair did" and on Saturdays the bus runs much less frequently so it was quite a process to get there. Anyway, I was up and ready at 8:30 on Saturday morning, which is a very unusual thing for me, and there's a knock on my door. It was a couple of gentlemen looking to replace some windows in my apartment. Windows that "will be replaced within the next week" since August. I mean, I guess way to go on getting them in just befor-er at the beginning of the cold weather so everything is sealed properly, but seriously? Does it really take 4 months to get some window guys together? I'm not even going to count the fact that these windows were going to be replaced before I even moved in. A year and a half ago. Anyway, beside the point. These guys were perfectly nice and I was happy to have my windows replaced, but if I had not already needed to be up for this hair appointment, I would have been mighty unhappy about the door knocking at 8:30am on Saturday.

Yesterday I cleaned my apartment (no one is more surprised by this than I am), did some cooking and got totally hooked on this British TV show called MI-5 that I saw in the Watch Instantly section on netflix. This is a GREAT show, part of my belief system that everything is better with a British accent...and the main guy (at least for the first two seasons) is the guy that played Mr. Darcy in the most recent version of Pride & Prejudice. He's pretty unbelievably good looking, and he looks even better with short hair and a wardrobe from this century. He's quickly rising up into the ranks of the Cutest Men Ever. See?

And in the ongoing saga of Andrea's socks, here is the progress on the spiral:

Now, I know you're not thinking that in a week I've knit like 20 rows total, and you're right! One complete sock and one almost finished sock! The end is in sight!

And now I'm off to finish whitening my teeth in two hours. This stuff is pretty cool, and it's not hurting my teeth, which is pretty amazing. My teeth are pretty sensitive. The trick now is to try and avoid anything that could stain them between now and Saturday. On second thought, maybe this could've waited until Wednesday or Thursday... oh well
