In the last post, I said I have been working on a scarf. And here it is...
I have been busy baking since Andrew's birthday. I have made him WifeMomKnitter's awesome Brownie drops. It was ok, not as good as WifeMomKnitter's... but they were still edible.
I made Tiramisu on last Sunday. I have been craving for it, so I went bought all the ingredients and tada... It was very good, I love it... Since Andrew doesn't drink at all, so I used very very strong coffee instead of the coffee flavored liqueur.
I have baked 2 pumpkin cheesecake. One for work and one for my in-laws. They came out pretty good, and they tasted very yummy, I have heard. Because I don't like cheesecake, so I couldn't tell.
I also made Candied Pecan. I got this recipe from my hairstylist. I took some to work, and lots to my in-laws. They are very addictive, I just kept eating them non-stop, a very dangerous item...
At last, I found these pretty cute coke bottles in Walmart when I was shopping for the Candied Pecan ingredients...
Finally, it's cold enough for me to knit at home now. Or I tend to knit more when I am all stressed out.
Anyway, I got couple new projects. The first one(s) is(are) a gift (gifts). So, can't post it here. But this is another one. It's a neck-warmer called Flared Lace Smoke ring . I am using Rowan Kidsilk Night for this project, I think it's coming along pretty good. The silver grey color lace pattern will look great on top of my black hair...
I am also working on a scarf too, but I didn't take any picture of it yet, so I can't so you how beautiful it is. LOL. I also want to show you some silly things that I have been doing...
I went to a great sushi place with J last Friday. It is like a buffet type of restaurant. You pay one price, and then order whatever you want in the menu, and as many times and much as you want, as long as you don't waste their food... It was pretty worth it, since we did order lots of sashimi, raw salmon, yummmmm
Then Saturday, I went and got a hair cut. ( I guess that's not silly, but my picture is)
Remember when you were a kid, you always put a laundry bucket over your head and pretended you were a robot? No? me either. Someone told me it's fun, because he/she used to do that a lot. Then he/she asked me to try it...
Also I forgot to post a very significant picture of me.... I voted!!! November 4th, my first presidential vote!!!
It was a very very special day for me. On the 15th, since my friend C wants to pick me up after work and then drop me off at home, so I carpooled with Andrew in the morning. Before we went to work, Andrew stopped by Starbucks and get my breakfast, he knows how much I love Starbucks. It wasn't a good day at work. I got pulled out from a project that I liked a lot, lots of challenges. So I was quite upset about it. Jennsquared stopped by my desk and gave me a present and a card and wished my happy birthday. How nice of her.
At 2:30, all of my co-works celebrated my birthday with a cake and a card. They sang me a happy birhday song, so touching.
Then around 6pm, my friend C came picked me up at work. She didn't tell me where we were going, only told me that she would just like to hang out with me for a while, then she would dropped my off at home, so that Andrew could celebrate with me. Then we went to get a Birthday Girl tiara, and stopped by TGIF for a drink. Then she took me to a restaurant called Kumo in Hamden, once she parked, she made me covered my eyes and walked across the parking lot. Once I got it, uncovered my eyes, I saw several of my friends. Jennsquared, Julee, Zack, Anne, and of course Andrew. It was a big surprise! We had Hibachi there, awesome food, awesome entertainment! They gave me a card and 2 gifts, which are still being shipped. I was soooo excited and glad that they could be there and celebrate with me, even thought there were couple of my friends couldn't make it to the dinner, I knew they were thinking of me, and I felt so loved!!!
Besides my friends, my family also took some actions. My parents sent me lucky money; Becky, my sister-in-law and Grammy called. Got a card from Gramma, got "The card of the year" from my parents-in-law. It's big, and it's Hello Kitty, can't top that!
I also got lots of birthday wishes on Facebook. It's a great place to connect with friends and family, close and far. I would like to thank every one who has participated part of my "no biggie 30th" birthday. It was warm, surprised and loved. More pictures here...
You may have noticed how long I haven't updated my blog, it's because I haven't accomplished any knitting project lately. However, tonight, I have finished the Minimalist for C, I just need to sew the pieces together, and it will be done, and then I can move on to a new project.
