Update City!

This is a random blog of random things.

First and foremost, Winter in Minnesota. It wasn't so much "winter" anymore as we had crossed the threshold to spring, but sure enough March 2nd, 3 days before my Birthday, Winter reared it's ugly head again. Considering global warming and the mild, mild winters we've had the past couple of years, boyfriend and i took pictures to document the event. I'm not sure what the final snowfall total was, but i think it was somewhere in the 18" range. madness. i can't remember it snowing like that for a very long time.

This was the view from our Living room window:

This is the GIANT icicle outside our bedroom window:

This was our driveway. Please take notice that we don't own a shovel, and Boyfriend is in fact shoveling with a broom. The second picture is the wall surrounding our patio, it is about 4 feet tall.

Knitting. I finished this bag. It was the first "real" project I've completed. it has fake cables and multi colored yard. i am giving it to my friend for her birthday in April. i don't have a name for it. near the end of the project i started calling it the bitch bag because i was NOT HAPPY about having to do the kitchener stitch, and it looked like shit. but i am happy with the end result. it is a small bag. big enough for a wallet and your cell phone and not much else. the strap is long enough to cross over your chest. I'm not familiar enough with knitting verbiage or knowledgeable enough to even know what yarn i used, so if you want a GOOD knitting blog, check out Laura's. Boyfriend has been calling it the hippie bag, so i guess I'll run with that. i used sock yarn. what kind? what is it made out of? i have no freaking clue. Now the snow is gone, we pulled out the patio table and chairs last weekend, and enjoyed a day of 81 degree's last Monday(less than three weeks after the blizzard). welcome spring! next week on Easter we are headed to Vegas. welcome trouble!
