Update: Sunday 12 Jan

Happy New Year! And Merry Christmas and all that stuff that happened since I last wrote.

I recently discovered that shipping to the Netherlands via Amazon is not always as expensive as I had always thought. Not that I currently have anything to buy on Amazon. It's nice to know if and when I do want something from Amazon. I even have a few Amazon gift cards for that.

I'm making a scarf. Crocheted. And I like the yarn, and I think I will like it when it's finished. The problem is that I will do a huge section, and then set it aside and forget about it for a while, so it may never be finished. Well, that's not the only problem. The other problem is that I think that I am making it too wide, and I don't want to pull it all out again and redo it. The only reason I anticipate this being a problem is that I'm worried I will run out of yarn before it's at a length I am happy with. And my momma bought the yarn, so I can't just go get more. I don't even know where she got it.

I've had a very interesting weekend. I won't go into detail other than to say it's been an interesting weekend. Amber and Ian have broken up, Amber is returning to the US (for good) on Thursday so right now she is packing up everything that she wants to keeps and setting aside everything she doesn't want so that Ian can sell it. Ian and I had a very long talk Friday night (he did most of the talking, he was in quite a talkative mood). I was making food for Saturday and he was sitting on the floor in the kitchen talking. And then Saturday was my birthday. So Tessa and Simona and Jennifer came over and we played games and ate food. That was a nice birthday.

Then, last week I had exams, and next week I have a couple more exams. I don't even know when classes start back up. I can't wait for that though, I'd rather have classes to worry about every day than exams to stress over. Actually I just checked, classes start again on January 27.

Also, yesterday instead of birthday presents, we all exchanged Christmas presents. Moon got me a really nice knife set, and Jenn got me a scent warmer (kind of like the Scentsy stuff, except it uses a tea candle instead of a lightbulb), and Tessa got me slippers. I don't know how they all knew that those were exactly the things I wanted but they were.

So! I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year and all the other fun things and bye talk to you later!
