These are a few of my favorite things

I actually made a list on paper of the things I wanted to blog about, I'm cool. Yesterday was not a great day. I burnt my sweet potato fries, which would have been awesome. I missed the first lecture. In an effort to find a serial code for the copied software I have, I searched for a crack and almost killed my computer. Luckily all I got was 7 items of adware/bots that McAfee picked up. Hopefully I got all of them. FYI - adobe offers a trial version of their latest photoshop software. Wicked pissah. I was supposed to write something about "pigs" but forget want I intended to blog about. I had a dream last night that I didn't study until the night before for my next huge test (11/14). The night before I had a dream about being asked to the prom on Laguna beach. Weird. I watch too much tv. But waking up remembering the dream brought back good memories of prom. My high school prom was great :)

Lists
Good things
- phone calls from friends (random question from Jennie that I feel bad that I can never answer, and a nice chat with Eliz :)
- Indian summer, one of my most favorite things
- The afternoon sun beaming through yellowy-orange leaves giving everything a warm, golden glow
- spending most of thurs outside on the farm
- Learning stuff that is clinically applicable (finally) such as urinalysis
- chai from Dunkins

Bad things
- hair is still falling out heavily, looks a lot thinner now, probably stress
- the account balance of my bank account

Stuff I want (for xmas)
- digital camera
- snow boots
- new CDs - white stripes probably, can't remember the other new band i like...
- four leaf clover key chain
- vet textbook
- nice photograph(s) of a winter/fall scene I can frame

Knitting Update:
3/5 of striped cream/raspberry scarf
2 and 2 .25 of mittens. (One of the whole mittens is a "practice run" and the others I started but messed up and have not taken them out yet but they still count. The other whole one is not stitched up yet, but is going to be a final piece. I don't like to use big jumbo needles, it called for 17, but I'm using 13 and have had to make a few slight modifications to the pattern, but it will look better in the long run)

Just have to finish the scarf and 5 more mittens. Luckily, the mittens are only taking me about 1.5 hours a piece. I'm using quick and easy yarn and the pattern is much more simply than I thought. You knit a big thing with a whole near the middle, then fold it, then knit the thumb, sew it together and you're done. I'm fairly happy with the final product. Must go and buy a needle to finish them tomorrow. Plus I REALLY need to get out of this apartment.

Yay for sleeping in late!
