current book
Love Does by Bob Goff

Bob Goff is full of AWESOME!

current shame-inducing guilty pleasure
watching The Voice (again, for a third season in a row – oh, Mark Burnett, you suck me into the music reality/competition shows of yours and I both love and hate it) and, subsequently, purchasing some of the songs on iTunes

current favorite colors
I seem to be on a grey and lavender/purple kick. again. still. one of those.

current favorite drink
coffee. hot tea is making a more regular appearance. I’ve been in a bit of a bourbon/whiskey/rye mood these days, though I haven’t been indulging often.

current links

current outfit
I’m wearing a sleeveless light blue & navy striped dress because it is unseasonably warm out

current fragrance
I’m pretty sure I failed to put on any perfume today. so, uh, Batiste dry shampoo in "Blush"

current wish list
-to not be simultaneously PMSing and some sort of sick – dude, the stress crying. so, so annoying.
-to get the hat I’ve tried to start twice started without a mysterious twist in it.
-to figure out what to do with all the buttermilk I bought for turkey brining, that I don’t need for this task now since I went with a dry brine as there was none of the wet brine to be had when I went to the store.

current music

honestly, while I’m okay with some of Miguel’s tunes, he skeeves me out a little on occasion. however, I’m totally digging on this song.

Crowder – iTunes Session

Speaking of Crowder, the David Crowder Christmas album is making its way into the rotation, among a few others.

current anticipation
my KnitPicks order! I’m still waiting for it to ship, but it contains interchangeable knitting needles, yarn for a sweater and some other yarn that was too pretty to not put in my basket!

current triumph
finally procuring yarn for a sweater? it’s not here yet. but I’m kind of stoked to be tackling my first "serious" knitting project in the near future.

current indulgence
it seems to be sock yarn. I’ve got a wee collection going. and no plans to make socks with it so far. we’ll see how that goes. (I’ve still never made socks, despite knitting for several years now.)

current blessings
being alive!
having a coffee stash
having a yarn stash
having awesome parents with whom to spend this delightful holiday season!

Buttermilk biscuits! Red velvet cupcakes! Buttermilk pancakes! And then bundle it all up in a care package to send to NZ.

Liar, you know you’re carrying around a flask with a knitted cosy. r: yeah, I’m thinking it might just be #4 (just totally random and he’s just kind of a weird guy)

ryn: Ironically, the fact that the animals bit gave you pause means you know me better than most. While it was, in fact, tossed in for humor (I swear), it’s the momentary, “Wait, what?” that separates those who think they know me well and those that actually do. While unsurprising, it still makes me smile (smirk, really, but close enough) that you had it. Adore you. So very much.
