things that are awesome.
1) My mom sent out an email to our family which used this phrase:
"Argentine dinner at [our] house ... It should be a fun intimate evening - only 50 or so."
Oh mom. I love you. Plus - I get to hang out with my cousins who i love dearly. This is going to be a very good weekend, and I'm going to get so fat with all the food and wine, and whatever, but I don't care. I love my family that much.
2) I cranked out a hat yesterday. I had started it on Monday but then decided the brim was too small, and now it is just right. It is a sort of cranberry/burgandy color, and has raised ridges in a sort of mathematically descending pattern. And a pom-pom. This is what happens when I go through my stash and have nothing to do. I think I will give it to my grandmother for her birthday.
3) Reasons why I'm awesome and delighted with myself:
In recent years I have become very good at noting and following the patterns of my body, and the signals it gives me for upcoming...unpleasantness. I didn't notice anything recently, and wasn't really expecting anything for a while, but yesterday I was watching Grey's Anatomy on DVD, and burst into tears no less than three times. While the tears are an expected part of being me, the fact that they happened while watching re-runs of episodes I knew to be sad/traumatizing was a little surprising. I noticed a few other things, did a little math, and discovered that I had the possibility to run a little ahead of my own schedule. I sat down and made a little deal with God, and we'll see if my body holds up it's end of the bargain - that is, starting immediately, and then running its course in 3 days (which would not be unprecedented), leaving me the entire weekend without fretting. So far, God is upholding his end. I'm pretty sure I know what I have to do, but it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
Wow, that was very vague, and yet I'm sure ALL you girls knew exactly when I meant.

triskellita is beyond awesome. She brought me books of knitting patterns from ALA. and the patterns are of... like...underwear, and slightly kinky stuff (so far, i see a pattern for a whip and a ball gag. because you know...why buy it when you can make it yourself?). she also lent me the fourth travelling pants book. i know around christmas i went into a kind of reverie about that movie, but i own the first three books as well, and cherish them. when she handed me the fourth before class...i stopped breathing for a moment. Place your bets now on when I finish.
5) Pita Pit coupon in the DTH. huzzah!
6) UNC v. Miami tomorrow.
