So I've been kinda ... well, depressing lately, haven't I? My first fortune for the year (on Jan 1, no less!) says "You will be transforming a situation in your life now with positive attitude". I don't know what situation they're referring to, but maybe if we start out with a positive attitude, then something will improve. I'm sure of it.

I think weddings are so popular not solely because of the joyous union of two people, but also because everyone likes to get dressed up and see a woman in a beautiful dress. We need more ocassions in life that involve getting dressed up and wearing beautiful dresses. I mean, for everyone, not just rich people who have to pose for the papparazzi all the time.

Check out my favorites over on flickr. Man, so many people have so much talent with a camera! I'm working on my own. Will get there one of these days.

I'm starting a knitting group. A knitting group that will probably evolve into a general craft group. We'll meet once or twice a month, on Sunday afternoons, either at someone's apartment or at a nice cafe. Wanna be on the email list? Lemme know!

I was home "sick" today. "Sick" as in "crampy" (hi, TMI!), so it was a valid reason to sleep till 1 p.m., trust me. But I made good use of the rest of the day, getting all my laundry and grocery shopping done. I even did my hand-washing, so I can wear my fabulous red sequined shirt sometime soon and not gross people out with BO.

Went to a hat-themed birthday party Friday night and two people shared their good news with me (one to be engaged soon, another is looking forward to twins!). Went to Sac on Saturday to watch a friend compete in an Irish dancing competition. It was fun to experience a culture I didn't even know existed. On Sunday, went into SF to watch a friend perform in his jazz group at Rose Pistola. Great food, as always, and a lovely way to round out the weekend. Spent last night knitting and getting caught up with another friend. And in about 5 minutes, I'm heading to yet another friend's place to watch us some Firefly. 'Cause we love those characters.

Maybe I'll have some toast. I'm quickly becoming Toast Girl. Mmmm... toast.

And it's raining. Does this mean it'll warm up a bit? At least into the 60's? Please?

Hope January is kicking along for you too!
