For those of you who watch Gilmore Girls, you know where I gratuitously stole that title from. We are having a snowstorm today. I'm not sure how much snow we're supposed to get, but judging from what's falling outside my window at the moment, I'd say a fair amount. Now, I know we haven't had NEARLY the snow that Michigan has, but keep in mind that when we do get it it's accompanied by wind the likes of which you in the mitten state probably cannot imagine. It's brutal. I tell people it's brutal and then they get here and they're like, "oh my gosh the wind is CRAZY!" as though I had in no way prepared them for what it was like. Just take my word for it, the wind is something else. Also, for whatever reason (well, probably the reason is that the roads are completely insane and make no sense and are extremely narrow) when we get a lot of snow this place sort of freaks out and actually managing the snow accumulation with plows and the like becomes an overwhelming burden that no one seems to have figured out how to deal with.
However, I'm happy that this is the first big snow of the winter which has not found me traveling at the same time. At work yesterday not less than two people came into my office and said, "So Jessie, we're getting a whole bunch of snow tomorrow, where are you flying this weekend?"
Ha. Ha. Ha. No, tonight I am going straight home after work, putting on an outfit of fleecy goodness and watching movies. I'll probably also be dipping back into the jug of wine from last Saturday (hooray!).
In houseguest news, I think he found a place he likes! He could be leaving! Next weekend! However, let's not count our chickens before they hatch. I'll keep you posted.
And now onto the knitting front. Yesterday I received two new skeins from Blue Moon Fiber Arts. I love Socks that Rock! The colors I got are Philosopher's Stone and Minestone. They are both completely GORGEOUS. I don't have pictures yet because I'm posting at work (shh!) and my camera and the yarn are both at home. Now then, what this new yarn means is that this weekend I will be working furiously to finish one of the socks I have going so I can free up my size 1 needles, and it also means that I will be ripping out another sock that I had started because I don't like it and I don't want it making me feel guilty for working on something else. These would be the hot pink ones (yes Amy, the ones I said were for you - sorry). I just don't really like them. Plus they're a little TOO thick and hard to work with at the moment. So I think I will take them apart and go back to the drawing board for something a little more fabulous and easy to work with. Part of the problem could be the needles, they're very sharp. Either way, they're history.
I think that's about all I've got for the moment. I'm sorry, I just feel completely uninteresting this week. Here's hoping the spark of imagination and creativity hits me this weekend, or at least that I go out and something totally ridiculous happens so I can keep you all entertained. :)
