nothing is a dish for every day

Poor abandoned blog...

Yes, it seems that I have discarded my poor little blog. I admit, I have moved on, found bigger blogger opportunities. But now, I have no internet medium to just ... talk. I can converse about fashion, crafts, knitting (so much knitting) ... but nothing for just old plain life.

So I've been living in Springville lately. It's nice - I have the house all to myself (and Winston, of course) almost all day. I never knew I was such a chronic introvert.

I'm learning how to cook while I have all the resources my mom's kitchen presents. This does present a few challenges, though; she and Dave insist on my no-bake peanut butter cookies prettymuch every weekend. And I can only use the oven in the morning, because Dave is crazy about keeping the indoor temperature down.

I've been fighting between crafts - obsessed with sewing one day, and then the next day I'll have nothing of it but will desperately need to make a doily. Collaging, knitting, etc. etc. etc.

Oh, and this is Winston. He's my lovely little Siamese kitten. He's three and one-half months old, and has quite the personality. The weird little thing climbs up walls and jumps into the shower while I'm in it. He's asleep on my lap right now, and quite happy because he just got out of "the dungeon." He was trying to eat my recently made carrot cake, so I locked him in the bathroom, which is where he goes when he's been bad.

I'm starting college (eek!) on the 22nd of August. I'm shooting for a BA in Communications with an emphasis in Journalism. But the curriculum seems to focus almost entirely on broadcast journalism, so I'm hoping that we can work something out. Oh, and did I mention the FREE TUITION! Yes, Dave works at the college (which is going University next summer), so I am a lucky, lucky girl.

I promise (with a cherry on top) that I will write more often. I'm through deflecting my duties to the empty internet cosmos.

Well, it has been a while, hasn't it? Too bad I'm not in much of a talkative mood.
