For now though, I'm still in Wisconsin, and the holidays are sneaking up on me. My family is getting together for Thanksgiving - I'm so glad I have off!! I volunteered to bring a cheese plate - we'll see if my cheese arranging skills are on par with the fruit-arranging abilities.
Tonight I got a head-start on my Christmas baking - I don't want to miss out this year! Next year I'll most likely be abroad during the hols, and apparently baking isn't all that common in Singapore - so best to enjoy it now! I tried a new recipe (Chocolate Mint Chip cookies) and one of my favorites - Russian teacakes/Mexican wedding cakes/whatever-you-want-to-call-them.
I've also been on a sock-knitting spree...right now I'm working on a pair for my dad that MUST be done by Christmas. They've been in progress for...well...over a year. I can't even remember when I bought the yarn, which is really bad.
That reminds me - there's now a yarn shop in M-field! Bummer that I really shouldn't buy anymore yarn. My mom and I were talking about the vast amounts of yarn and how that's going to work with travelling - the best route would probably be to choose a few projects and pack together the pattern, needles, and yarn for each. We'll see if I actually manage to be that disciplined.
