Day 20 - A Hobby

My latest hobby is knitting.  I picked it up about a year ago when my friend taught me how to do the basic stitches, knit and purl.  Since then I have learned a few different patterns and I have recently started my first "real" project, a Gryffindor scarf! 
As you can see I am not very far along yet, but I am hoping to have it done by the time part 2 of the Deathly Hollows comes out! 

For those of you who are interested it's k1p1 for 43 for 37 rows in maroon then 6 gold then, 6 maroon, then 6 gold - repeat w/ the 37 rows of maroon. 

Oh and no the tension is not too bad, but it looks tight because of how it's draped over my leg.

Okay, I have been trying to learn how to knit for a few years now but have no patience. However, I now want a Gryffindor scarf!!! So I guess I will have to attempt to tackle it all over again.

DAMN YOU STARBUCKS So just when I thought that I was safe from edible temptation, Starbucks releases its Valentine's Day Cupcakes! I innocently walked into the Starbucks across the street from school and just as I walked in a guy asked me if I would like to try a sample. Before I realized what was going on I said "Sure!" I tried the sample, then I realized what it was I was eating... pure heaven in the form of chocolate. Then I realized what I should have seen all along! That guy who offered me a "sample" was actually a pusher! I have since clued in: I've been coming to Starbucks daily since I started school. These cheery people who happily serve me my grande non-fat no water Tazo chai every morning are actually just a bunch of disguised pushers who know that I have lost control of my addiction and am now searching for a new high! They've got me, in the form of chocolate and red velvet cupcakes..... Don't be fooled by their charming demeano...

So Kass tagged me a while ago and I kinda forgot to do it! So here goes. I am not going to lie, I had to cheat a bit because the idea is to go into your pictures folder and choose the fourth pic from the fourth folder, but that pic had someone else in it and I didn't feel right putting someone else's pic on my blog without asking them, so I went into Facebook and took my fourth pic from my fourth album there. The next part of the tag says to explain the pic. Well this is the first pic I took of my engagement ring after I got it. It was so shiny. Sighhhhhhh. So that's my beauuutttiiiiiffffuuulll ring and I still love love love it! So for this challenge I tag Vegas Princess Delicieux Courtney Kim-d Looking forward to seeing all your pics! :)

Just so ya know

I have been feeling very low lately, so low in fact that I have had trouble doing anything. I can't even write about it. Part of it is because I feel so guilty for feeling this way, especially at this time of year when we are reminded of just how lucky we are. I have been reading all the blogs that I normally do but haven't been able to comment for one reason or another and I am sorry. I am fine and I will be back at it soon enough, but I just thought you all might want to know. Talk to y'all soon! :)
