Back in the Saddle Again.....

It's about time I start blogging again.

I will say that in the last 6+ months I've had some adventures.  I've flew to Colorado for a party organised through an online book club I belong to, I've gotten into Geocaching (I signed up on a website that hosts lists of caches, but never did anything until CO), knitted some stuff (currently working on a scarf loosely inspired from the Wheel of Time series), planning a one day, round trip bus trip to NC to just ride up with a friend who's visiting me for a week, the two of us are going to a local event (same online book club people, just an unofficial event that some how has people coming from as far away as GA attending.  Ya, did I mention it's a "local" party?), and job hunting for FT work. :P

I will say, I think I am more into the IDEA of Geocaching than Geocaching itself. Idk how true it is but so far, its true.

Le Sigh

I am hoping things have only been a karmic release these past couple of days.

*At one of my PT jobs, one of the registers was $65 short (this is after about 1/2 an hour of counting all the registers (one was off $100 as well, but we mis-counted and ended up being ok) and the safe). Everything but that one register was fine.

*When dressing myself this morning, I completely spaced on the fact I was working at BOTH of my PT jobs. I dressed for only one of them (and didnt have any back up on me). Didnt realise this until after I took my coat off at work, and after finding out that none of the appropriate clothing stores in the area were open before noon.

Other than that, things have been good. Knitting still (though I really dont have any projects going at the moment), and reading a fair amount.

Summer Picnic!

Its finally August. The last hurrah for summer.

Now I dont know why I hadnt thought of this sooner (maybe the heat has finally gotten to my brain), but a picnic sounds really good. Now the weather hasnt been ideal for picnics (let say 100'F or hotter), but summer is suppose to be for outdoor eating!

Anyway, I'm thinking of going on a picnic as soon as the weather gets cooler. More than likely it'll be a one person picnic, but here's what I'd like to bring:

• Champagne
• Strawberries
• Sandwich - sort of a cranberry bread, turkey, maple cream cheese, and spinach
• Lemonade
• Iced Tea
• Salad - pear, gorgonzola cheese, craisins, and mixed greens
• Mini-Quiche - egg, cheese, onion
• Bread Pudding

I can see myself sitting under a tree in a park, with this spread on a blanket and a picnic basket, leaning against the tree reading a good book or maybe even knitting, listening to book on tape.

Top Ten for the Beach.

So I went to the beach yesterday by myself. Sort of wished my mom had told me that she and my grandmother weren't planning on going - would have meant an earlier start time (about 9 am vs 11am - grrrr). Oh well. Spent some much needed time there.

Saw some horses, saw the ocean, and stared it down. Dont worry, we made peace with each other.

Ok, Who's Excited?

Who's excited for the new Muppet movie coming out this fall?

I AM!!!!
