so much to do.

so little time indeed.

i keep having to remind myself that i am leaving town again on sunday. and with that reminder comes the realization that i don't have as much time for my to do list as i think i do. but for some reason, i'm still not feeling the time crunch.

i haven't finished finding gifts. what a stunning surprise.
so that's obviously on the list for tomorrow.
also a stop at j. crew because i can't figure out what happened to all of my sweaters, and it's ridiculously cold outside. and really. denver isn't going to be any warmer than it is here, so i need something warm to pack. [plus. they are having what seems to be a perpetual sale.]
and a long overdue visit to the post office. i don't know why i dread going to the post office so much. i used to love visiting there with my mom as a little one, but now i can't ever manage to make myself go.

maybe i should include a little bit of fun as a reward for getting to the post office, eh? i've been meaning to paint pottery all week. and actually, much longer than that. but if i run out of time to paint pottery, i could always knit. :]
and i am going to go out with yenh and some friends tomorrow night. as long as the weather isn't too terrible.

otherwise...
the wind is so horrific at my house tonight that helix has actually woken up and barked a few times. the whole house is shaking. i'm not a fan of this sort of wind. plus, i know it's bringing a storm, which is bad news for the holiday travel plans.

i forgot the mention that i bought the friday night knitting club on the same day as my successful wooden needle/soft yarn hunt. i'm excited to start it. i'll confess that i chose it primarily due to the adorable cover. i know. i know. i almost didn't buy it when blurb on the back alluded to a tragedy. but then i read the blurb for the second book [knit two] and basically spoiled the tragedy for myself so i'm properly prepared. someone, please tell me you would have done this too? i don't know what got into me. normally, i wouldn't have wanted to ruin the surprise.

now the only problem is that i'm rather antsy to make progress on my actual knitting. so far knitting is winning all my time.

& & i just found out that the book is being adapted into a movie. this might be a good indication, right? hopefully it's a good read. :]
