*jumps around making excited noises*

A copy of Shadowheart was delivered to my house just a few minutes ago. I did not order it.

Is there a Santa?

ETA: I believe it is from Patrick. He posted this thread a few weeks ago: Win a Copy of Shadowheart. I responded.

I'm baking bread too today. It's a Danish rye bread. I'm cheating and using a bread mix, since I don't want to keep a sour dough going. I love to bake and consider it a hobby of mine, and I only ever use a store bought mix for rye bread.

Em, you are so lucky. Must be nice to get surprise pressies, even if it is something you won.

Note: I absolutely hate surprises - I like to make plans. But I looove presents, so the love of presents overrule the hate of surprises, hence I do like surprise pressies. ;-)

The snow is making my huband leave his bike at home and walk half an hour to work. This means he has to walk for half an hour in the dark back from work in the cold, so I am going to be such a nice wife and meet him half way at the pizzeria so he won't have to walk all the way home alone. (If you read between the lines you will notice that I am getting out of making dinner and I get to eat yummy pizza.)

;-)

GAH! Only minutes after my previous post there was someone at the door asking me about my car... Some stupid stupid person had broken into it, breaking thr window and stealing my harry potter audiobook... And with the weather as it is, I had to get a new window installed immediately.... so had to leave my comfy home and drive half an hour to sit waiting for 45 at the carglass company....

Now I have aheadache.... prolly from driving in minus 5 without my car window.....

Libra: They broke your window, costing you probably way too much money, for a Harry Potter Audiobook that costs.. what.. $20? Considerably less than a window, for sure. :( I never keep anything worth more than a few bucks in my car for a prolonged period / overnight. At least not where it's visible.

Magpie: Hooray for clean kitchen! Hopefully the previous tenants didn't receive their security deposit for leaving such a mess behind :\ That's just awful and rude.
As far as the couch goes, we just got really, really lucky. We spent a couple days after we initially found it (they placed a 7 day hold on it) looking around other furniture stores and had the same success you did. Everything reasonably priced wasn't comfy or looked atrocious, and everything comfy was ridiculously expensive and wayyyyy more out of our budget. It basically came down to, do we spend a little extra and get something we like and get it now, or try and save a bit more and risk not getting what we really wanted because it's out of stock.

Weather-wise, I feel totally jipped. The Buffalo area got it's first snow storm of the season a few days ago, and I live within the 6 square mile area that got less than an inch of snow. So. Annoying. I guess I'll have to wait til the next snow storm to see what it's like!

Also: my want for a graphics tablet has increaced significantly today.

Also also: I've got a new photo in the photography thread for those interested.

Also also aslo: Wi not trei a holiday in Sweeden this yer ? See the loveli lakes, the wonderful telephone system and mani interesting furry animals. Including the majestik moose.

:P

Yay! for Magpie's new home and kitchen!

It's snowing like mad today. I was planning to go buy a new round knitting needle (I want to knit a hat to match that last scarf I made) and some patterns for clothes, but now I don't think I will. Maybe I'll go and buy them online...

Time to get silly and just try knitting my new hat on a needle that is too long.

Snowing like crazy and I still have to get one present.... dah.... don't really fancy going out by car now, but there's no other way.... trying to not procrastinate, but it's such a good day to do it...

Have paranoia attacks about my car now... cause my dad mentionned some people he know were broken into several times, just for fun... So I'm kind of checking the car out every so often... hehehehe.... hopefully the wannabe thieves don't want to go out in this weather as well.....

What I think happened is that they wanted to steal the radio, but as mine is integrated in my car (which they prolly didn't notice until they were inside), it's useless to steal....  so they just took something....

I was so incredibly mad yesterday.... bit better today.... thanks for all the support!

You could get Open Office instead, as it's completely free. :)

So far my hat seems to be working out fine. Only got about an inch or maybe two, but still...

Casting on a scarf for my niece. Needles the pattern call for are too big to get the effect I want.

Making a second go at it.
