New Year's related

I made more cookies guys!!

Also, I've started knitting a red scarf for my stepmom.

I've been so productive (not really). I still have 2 group projects to work on for school and I haven't touched either of them :/

Needless to say after I finish this blog post that's what I'll be doing.

As far as resolutions go I've already fulfilled what I would have pledged to do anyways (drink at least 3 bottles of water a day and start a new functional hobby). Instead I've decided to compose a list of things that I need to acquire before I go to college:

-A new winter coat (since mine was stolen)
-A hair dryer
-A small, but sturdy bookshelf
-A bank account (sad that I don't already have one... then again I always have cash handy)
-A tiny umbrella that I can fit in my purse
-A laptop
-More art supplies (watercolors, acrylics, charcoal--- you know, the basics)

And that's just the tip of the iceberg, but for now it's a start.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S!!

Knitting!

Guys. I've found my new thing. Knitting.

And before you mock me for being an "old lady" like many of my family members, think about how awesomely functional it is. For those friends that are hard to buy for? I can now knit them a gift. Not to mention if I ever need a sweater, I no longer have to shop around for the 'perfect' one.


I'm no expert or anything, but I've managed to knit myself an infinity scarf over the past few days. Hopefully I'll eventually be able to make something awesome like this, that Eeshie suggested. Tomorrow I'm going to buy more yarn so that I can feed my knitting habit. Sadly, I was given a book for Christmas about knitting, but I'm a bit slow so I've had to resort to watching youtube tutorial videos in order to learn techniques. BUT, I knit on!

Guys. Really. You'll never be cold and lonely if you knit. And not just because you can knit yourself dolls and scarves to keep yourself warm. It's because people feel really special when stuff is made for them so they'll at least pretend to be your friend in order to get some mittens out of the relationship.

Just kidding.

Knitting is awesome though. Err'body should do it. It's better than drugs.... At least I would hope so.

Ok. I'm going to bed.

Still sick

Christmas has gone and passed this year and I have to say that gift wise, this Christmas was awesome.

Other wise, it's been a little crummy.

I still have the flu (the worst has past though) and my sister has come down with the chicken pox.

HOORAY.

Not really.

I have a pile of homework that I have yet to touch...

And I have no idea how everything is getting done.

On the bright side, I've started knitting! Yay!
