Lunchtime Blogging

NOTE: This post is a little more random than usual. Enjoy!


Today is a lunching at my desk kind of day. For lunch I am eating a toasted pb&j, Ruffles and catching up with my Google Reader. I only have 1,000+ unread items to go. Should be a breeze. Or not. I've read all the important and time sensitive stuff (i.e. Perez and Twilight Lexicon) so the rest may just sit there for a bit longer.

Summer is official peace out and it's very sad. There are a couple things about Fall that I'm looking forward to. 1) Scarves. I have a lot of scarves. Like seriously a lot. I probably have more scarves than shoes. 2) ... Ok so maybe there's just the one thing I'm looking forward to.

This morning my bosses had a little breakfast get together to celebrate my birthday. It was actually a joint birthday celebration as my cubemate's birthday is a few days after mine. We had bagels from my favorite Richmond bagel place (Cupertino's), fruit and juice (well everyone else had juice, I had a cuppa). It was lovely and very nice of them.

After work I feel like I have a bunch of running around to do before my weekly get together with the Cakes. I have to go to the fabric store and because I'm such a nerd two different libraries. Then it's off to Westover Hills for knitting and coffee (or a cuppa, if you're me).

The scarf I've been knitting since the beginning of time is almost done. There have been a few dropped stitches along the way, but I just keep on keeping on. It's my first scarf, I'm not going for perfect. When I finally finish it, I'll be sure to post a picture.

Meanwhile, here's a picture of the only sandwich you ever need to know how to make...


(Ignore the peanut butter in this picture, the bestest kind is Peter Pan's Creamy Whipped peanut butter. It's heaven in a little plastic jar.)

Summertime, My Dear Sweet Friend

Summertime, I feel like we barely got to spend any time together this year. I look forward to your return next May/June. I've made a list of a handful of things I'll miss about you:

1. I’ll miss the cicadas singing;
2. picking which side of the street to walk on based on the amount of shade offered;
3. the sidewalks themselves being slight sticky because of the heat;
4. the wave of hot air that hits me when I open my car door;
5. planning my outfits so that I'm wearing the lightest fabric possible;
6. the feel of my legs being out and not wrapped in suffocating pants;
7. the smell of freshly mowed lawns;
8. having to eat my ice cream cone really fast because it’s melting more and more with each passing second;
9. rolling the windows down and driving faster to make my own wind because wow is it hot!;
10. not being able to leave things in the car because they might melt;
11. the sun being up early and going down late
12. sunglasses are the only accessory needed.

Hurry back!
