Kathleen Edwards was just introduced to me. I really like some of the shots in this film.

Do you like the huge photo of the bearded man in a sweater?

(in a previous post)

I liked this sweater so I was going to post it but I did it the short cut way and he ended being quite large, this made me laugh quite a lot, so I decided to keep him.
cred: american apparel model.

My days are spent huddled in warm places for the last couple weeks because of frigid temperatures ranging from -27F to -7F. When I venture from the house in my lovely woolen scarf, red down coat, mittens, headband, and wool socks it is only for the essentials, work and friend dates. I am hoping for some clouds to roll in so I can go for walks again. It has encouraged much more reading, tea, enjoying the fire place, and online shopping for cashmere sweater deals.

Bonus today: I got to see four moose on my way home. I really love them. Poor things in this weather, can you imagine!?

Cher and I have decided that singing cards are the worst gift ever.

frustration.

I would like to call myself a realist but often I edge on being pessimistic. This is not my personal rant corner of the internet. There for I am making a list of what is fantastic cause today I am not feeling so hot.

Melissa living in Soldotna. Coffee with Donna. Having a key to my sister's apartment even though I never use it. My mom makes brown rice for me. There is a sewing machine that I can use at my leisure. I have some hilarious coworkers. I have two arms with two hands and two legs with two feet that enable me to do awesome things. My tea is from India and tastes really good. Our fire place is oh so warm. and on and on my friends...

Lars.

That boy, he is my brother. He is an unusual one, but not in obvious ways. He dresses pretty cool but not in a stand out way. He is smart but not your obvious nerd. He is friendly and socially perfect, not loud or quiet. If you met him you would like him, you wouldn't call him weird but I am his sister and I know better.
He is an artist, he can build things, draw things, and know if it is brilliant or awful. But the peculiarity I would like to highlight today is the fact that he can sew. I am not sure when it started but I do recall him fashioning capes and satchels out of fake leather for treks in the woods to middle earth as a boy. Today the fake swords and cheap fake leather Lord of the Rings inspired accessories are gone but the skills remain. Today he is wearing sweatpants with a geometrical pocket that he made and I am the owner of a new fleece lined headband. Thanks Lars, I like you.

I leave you with this terribly awkward photo.
