Foggy Day Schedule

If you grew up in the Valley, you know those words well right? It was like, the best thing to wake up, hear those words coming across the TV on channel 18, and celebrate by jumping back into bed for an hour.

A typical morning drive to work:

I should have actually waited until I GOT to campus, because visibility was about 1/2 of what it is here.

Our Valley Fog is actually sort of infamous.

Anyhow, I took this photo yesterday because I was testing out a new toy. You see, Christmas came a little early around here.



That, or my DH was sick of hearing me talk about how much I really didn't like my old phone. Either way, I L-O-V-E my new toy. I've never been one to get overly excited about the latest fad gadget but WOW. I heart my iPhone.

It's been really cold here lately (and by "really cold" I mean the 30s/40s, but this IS Central CA, land of the 110 degree summers), so I've had a hankering to knit all sorts of warm accessories. I just finished a Trinity Stitch Hat (haven't even taken photos yet!), started a pair of my wrist warmers, and will be starting a neck warmer soon. So nice to not have Christmas knitting this year!

Happy Thursday!



PS - We still haven't tried the Absinthe, but we definitely will sometime this weekend.

White Christmas

Hail: It's a Central Valley white Christmas

The Green Fairy

No, I'm not talking about an elf. I'm talking about a gift my DH received for his birthday this year.



Absinthe. The Green Fairy. Ernest Hemingway’s "Death in the Afternoon" cocktail ("Pour one jigger absinthe into a Champagne glass. Add iced Champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly.")

We're thinking about giving it a whirl this Friday. Any tips for first-timers?
