It’s been a long time since I stayed up late reading a book. I got home late last night and was up until 2 a.m. this morning reading. I slept until 11, woke up and read for another hour before finally emerging at noon to drink coffee and finish The Namesake. Her strength is definitely in her short stories, but it’s a solid first novel.
Dan has the dog and is out helping friends on their goat farm today (the absence of a dog with bathroom needs is what kept me in bed so late). It’s nearly 3:30 pm and I’m still in my pajamas, having spent a couple hours finishing the book and then watching the finale of Project Runway (meh … I knew who the winner was after the runway show but it wasn’t who I’d wanted to win).
My room has become a study in mass confusion; the cut pieces of my coat are stacked in a corner, yarn is exploding everywhere, and the floor is covered with scraps of fabric and pattern paper. The weather has been very mild lately, so my room is going to get a good cleaning today so I can spread out my coat and finish it up this week before the weather turns on me again, and start on my Christmas projects.
I’m on to the sleeves of my NaKniSweMo sweater and not sure if I’ll be able to finish before the month is over. But hopefully some picture-worthy posts coming soon …
