I'm sorry--I can't resist posting a picture of little kitten Mamoko getting a bath {Edited to add: This is a picture from when Mamoko was probably about a month old or less! He was born in at the beginning of September and has grown A LOT since this picture!}. I got it from his foster parents and I find it too funny and adorable all at once. And, yes, I realize that I have been quite the crazy cat lady lately. There just hasn't been much knitting to show since I've been super busy with school. But school is out and I only have one school-related goal to achieve over the break: my 10-12 page thesis prospectus. Other than that, I am going to gorge myself on dvds, listening to NPR, and hopefully soon I will finally reach the top of the waiting list (which I've been on since June!) at my local library for the audio book version of Thomas Friedman's The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century. All of the previously listed things will enable me to knit like a mad knitting woman and act not-so-much like a crazy cat lady. Yay for that, right?!
Also on the list of things to do over the winter break--till January 24th, Rock On!
- Sew up Christmas gifts like a maniac during this week before Christmas.
- Dye Yarn, YAY!
- Finish up season one of Veronica Mars--which I've watched chronologically backwards; i.e. season 2 first, then season 1. Veronica Mars happens to be an amazingly well-done TV show, especially for folks like me who love a good detective story and happened to be a big fan of Nancy Drew. However, it must be noted that Veronica is is a million times cooler than Nancy and her daddy doesn't always get her a new powder blue convertible each time she wrecks it.
- Read books for fun--not for school.
- Breathe.
- Try to take up the Slrog--that is, running--again. Sort of fell to the wayside when Cyrano passed accompanied by the increase in cold weather and shorter days.
- Substitute every single possible day I can during the month of January--without losing my mind or taking to downing shots of vodka (or rather Port or good wine) every day after school!
That's adorable! No wonder you're becoming a crazy cat lady! Yay for breaks. Sounds like you have a lot of good stuff planned. Ah a month off, definitely one of the perks of being a student.

They're so small they they're wet aren't they! Have a great break, you deserve it. And who knows... a little something might arrive in the mail some day soon...

Yay for winter break! Enjoy, I know I won't know what to do with myself with my new gained freedom from school. Thanks for the encouragement and the comment. That cat is soo cute and soo tiny. I had to show my boyfriend. I showed the tab-for-reference shot and then the wet kitty shot. He laughed as hard as I did. Enjoy the nothingness....and knittingness. :D
