a post.

i missed the inauguration, i had to work.  i hear it was pretty fantastic, though. 

had a good weekend, hung out with liz, didn't do too much.  we did a wine tasting at a winery near omaha, i went to my first target in over a year, and drove a lot in windy, blowing weather.  basically, it was really relaxing, and so nice to see one of my friends again!

i've been working on the knitting project.  i'm pleased with it overall, it's a bulkier yarn on a little bit bigger gauge of needles than my last hat, so it's going really fast and i'm already done with the first hat (minus earflaps and pom).  the earflaps will take longer, i suspect, but no worries!  i also had to buy a couple of packets of hy-vee cherry drink mix to supplement the final color--it was too much like the orange at the bottom of the hat, and now the yarn smells a bit like cherry!

work is going okay.  we have a new manager, he transferred over from millwork, so things are moving a little smoother than before and i'm actually learning stuff like, how to design kitchens and countertops and such.  so it's better than before, but i do miss having regular hours.
