I'm a Miserable Blogger!

Ugh. It's a bit ridiculous how long it has been since I have posted! I may have to instate some sort of schedule for this thing to ensure I actually update it.

The past couple of months have been pretty wonderful. I love the change of seasons and winter has finally arrived. When I think winter, I first think SNOW and secondly, HOCKEY.

All three of my brothers were practically born with hockey sticks in their hands. My dad has played and/or coached all his life. My mom even played a couple of seasons back when I was really young. I was the family freak... never playing but alllllways watching. Damn near half of my childhood memories are from the local hockey rink. I saw so many games that by the time I was old enough to stay home alone, I ditched the rinks. Now I so rarely get the opportunity to see any of my brothers play hockey that I jump at the chance. Luckily, I have been able to see Evan and Derek play at Michigan State a few times lately! My mom snapped this photo of us with Zak after Derek's awesome SHUT OUT game :)

Other than hockey, I've been buying christmas gifts. Holy moly. I've spent far more on Christmas this year than any other year. When I see something that makes me think of a friend, it's so hard not to buy, buy, buy!

Whogivesashit Alert! In random news, I was heading to bed one night recently and looked over to my fresh glass of ice water (a nightly ritual) and thought my ice cubes looked so strange they were picture worthy.

In very recent news... I got my hair done!

Mind you, these photos were taken after my hair was up in a ponytail at work all night. Not too shabby, eh?

I got it done with hair stylist/colorist and salon owner Michelle at The Hair Co. on 28th Street in Cascade. She rocks. Call her. Schedule an appointment. Now. 

And in the MOST EXCITING NEWS!!!! I have recently completed two knitting projects! For the first one, I got a fire under my butt because I worked a craft fair kinda thing at work recently. There was a woman selling adorable knitted headbands. I considered buying one until I reminded myself, 'hey, I could probably make something like this!' So that's what I did. 

Then I finished the scarf I've been working on for a week. 

(Oops! Forgot the self-timer!)

Alright. It is now time for me to enjoy this rare night of getting off work early. I shall start with making myself some dinner, sipping on a glass of wine, and watching the new episode of Top Chef: All-Stars!
