Simon says hello

Hooray! We finally had our first good snowfall of this winter. So far the ground hadn't even been covered and I was so scared we wouldn't get a good snow. How could I spend my last school year ever without a snow day?

Thankfully, I was not to be disappointed. Meet Simon:

Ever since I was a kid, snow days were my favorite. Any excuse to not be in school is nice, of course, even if you like school, but snow days are the best. They're warm and cozy and everything looks so bright and clean. I love the clearness of the light coming in the windows. It's really inspiring and I've been busy with projects all day. It's so much easier to buckle down and work when there's snow outside. With necessary snowman breaks, of course.

With Simon

Happy winter everyone!

Tummyache

Well it's nearly midnight and today was wasted. I had such hopes and plans that involved lots and lots of patternwork for my new collection, finishing scarves, and working on drawings. It was breakfast that did me in.

A bad muffin seems to have given me food poisoning and I've been nursing an aching tummy all day. If only I could (sorry) vomit it up, I'd be fine, but my body is refusing. It seems to want to ride out the storm.

Being sick on Sundays is the worst. Now I have another week of school and nothing to show for the weekend.

Sales post

First, I wanted to say that I've decided to go to Japan over the summer, so there might be more sales posts than usual as I try to raise money. There will also be some really great deals in these posts! I'm totally underselling myself to afford this. Take advantage.

Moving on.

Cold!

When I walk to school tomorrow morning, it is going to be 9 degrees. (Windchill -5.) By the time I get to walk home, it will have reached the balmy high of 17 degrees. (Windchill between 3 and 5.)
Fahrenheit.



It's cold!

Goodbye teeth

See that little guy I'm pointing at back there?

Wisdom tooth

That's one of my wisdom teeth. This is my last day with the little guys.

Thirsty!

Yes, the so-called "holidays" are over, I understand, but stores have already gotten rid of their eggnog and apple cider! They've been replaced by iced tea and orange juice! This is only technically the third week of winter!

I do not understand. It is chilly and I would like to snuggle up in a blanket with a wintry beverage.

Rant. End.

Happy New Year!

Hope it's a good one for everyone. I rung it in quite simply, while folding laundry... Then when I realized that midnight had passed, I crawled all over my reluctant boyfriend to obtain my New Year's kiss.

Not a very exciting holiday, but it was happy. (and involved cheesecake.) so I'm looking forward to the new year. Here's to graduating college and doing something silly with my life.

Love,
