It's Friday!

And what a lovely Friday it is! I started our CSA box again, now that I know we will be around to use it a lot. I've been listening to the Beatles all day which has put me in a great mood, and Isis is snoozing on my lap. What a doll.

So tomorrow we plan on going for a morning bike ride down to Cinnaholic for some amazing vegan cinnamon rolls. *drool* I can't wait. We also have potential renters coming over because WE ARE MOVING! Huzzah! Sadly our downstairs neighbors are moving away (all of three blocks, yay!) and we are moving downstairs to their two bedroom. We are both super excited.

This has added to our hectic schedule that seems to never give us a rest! Maria's wedding is coming up next month, and I have been busy looking for a venue for our wedding. I think we found an awesome place in the Oakland hills called the Joaquin Miller Community Center. It has a nice view of Oakland and is surrounded by trees. It's great and has the mountain feel that we both love, but reminds us that we are still in the amazing bay area.

Now I just need to find that perfect job. I wish I could get paid to cross-stitch. Then life would be perfect!

Keepin' Busy

Even though I happen to be jobless (boo) I still have managed to keep myself incredible busy! I've picked up new crafts and old ones too. I've been a frequent visitor at Oma's house, learning how to knit and re-learning how to crochet. Knitting seemed extremely difficult and perhaps even boring when Oma first suggested it. But, to be honest I love it. Not quite as much as crochet, but maybe that is because I know how to do more with crochet right now. I can only knit and purl, and I get them confused when starting rows on occasion as well. But I've been working on it every day, and pretty soon I should be able to make Dan a ski sweater. Poor guy, I know.

I just want Dan to look like this.

And I want to look like this.


Am I asking too much?



Today I even picked up my clarinet. Ah the good old days of being good at it. Hmm. That's why I hope to practice a lot. Get my lungs in tip top shape and rebuild my embouchure.

Between all this, reading, yoga, planning our trip, German class, and the beautiful weather outside.. I think I am doing pretty well with keeping busy. Now lets just hope that I get some awesome creative ideas.
