there were a lot of things i wanted to take pictures of yesterday, but i left my camera at home. so instead of taking pictures of legs, shoes, knitting, or food, i took pictures of the cats bathing each other. this is vincent and shiksa, and they are basically the cutest things in the whole [...]
when i first started working at desco, i worked in the strategic growth department, which basically meant that i searched the internet all day for contact information so that the dept could get in touch with “superstars” from various high-profile universities. one of the things they did was send these kids t-shirts with desco logos [...]
i was going to take another picture of my stupid lace, but then i pulled ahead in this scrabble game. when i went to college, i did not have many friends. i hated almost every single person there. there were a couple of people with whom i was friendly, but i could barely tell you [...]
every week i make a loaf of bread to eat, although most of the time i don’t actually finish the entire loaf. this week i made rye bread. i wasn’t sure it would work properly. i subbed in 1-1/2 cups of rye flour (which is half the total amount of flour that goes into the [...]
i had been expecting company for coffee today, so i made up a batch of cinnamon roll dough. company never showed up, but i made the cinnamon rolls anyway. they are so soft and tender, i’d swear each bite is melting in my mouth. it’s possible that turning the oven on when it’s 85F in [...]
i was knitting up a camisole out of this green yarn. it’s opal rainforest, and i’m not thrilled by the color, but i love the texture. it’s fingering weight, 4 ply, and knits really nicely. the problem was that i only bought one skein b/c i had originally thought to make socks out of it, [...]
jozelle sent me six doughnuts from dunkin’ donuts. they are a little smushed, but nevertheless delicious like only dunkin’ donuts are. for the first time since moving here, i am desperately desperately homesick for new york city.
there are these girls who come to the string store who appear to be close friends. they are mean to each other, and they are mean to everyone else in the room. i have taken to sitting across the room from them so that i don’t have to listen to the flurry of whispered insults [...]
everything in my apartment smells weird, too sweet, like mold maybe. i went out for supper with steph tonight and ate tofu, and it was half delicious and half gross (the tofu was the gross part, but i ate it anyway) — but now i am hungry again. i want waffles, but i don’t want [...]
when i went looking for breakfast this morning, i realized that my fridge had a tube of cilantro (don’t ask) and some leftover pizza, two bottles of boone’s farm, salad dressing, ketchup, and some jam. that’s it. so i took off to the grocery store. normally i go to the one that is right around [...]
