Apocasnow!

Once again, the weather forecast is dire.  Rather unusually, the library will be closed!  A whole day to enjoy... or dread the next, since my car still hasn't magically changed into a snow plow.  Well, I suppose my exercise tomorrow will be several short sessions of snow shoveling.  I have discovered, I certainly can shovel snow, I'm quite good once I get all bundled up, but very quickly I'm breathing hard and dripping with sweat under my coat.  So I go inside, un-bundle, and rest for about an hour before going back out for another furious session.

It's so funny, right now I've settled into the Awesome Soft Blue Chair, I have my feet up on the Incredibly Useful Storage Ottoman, ready for a night of TV and knitting after I blog this.  And what's on the TV?  Julie & Julia!  A movie about blogging!  Not only that, a movie about food, which reminds me I haven't had dinner yet.  And I really like this movie, which means I probably won't fix my dinner until it's over. Hmm, Julie is talking about sending her blog out into nowhere.  I would feel like that, except I got a comment!  Thanks, Karen!

I really am looking forward to knitting tomorrow.  I'm making so much progress on the big scarf!  And finally, I have a picture!

 All seven colors, now.  The green looks a lot darker in person, really.  No flash bulb assistance, it looks almost as dark as the grey.  I've got to start weaving in ends, now.  If I leave it much longer, I'll never want to face all those dangly bits of yarn.

I'm also starting to assemble my travel wardrobe.  My color scheme will be blue, khaki, and brown.  I already have several decent pieces in those colors, and they're a lot more flattering to my skin than black and white.  Plus, it means my "dressy jacket" (recommended by www.onebag.com) covers two of the colors, and will thus go with both pants and dress that I've picked already.  Here's the dress:

I'll have to be careful which undergarments I wear with this!  Still, the twisty front is rather flattering to my assets, hehe.  And here's the jacket:

 Isn't that tapestry design just fabulous?  And it has pockets.  Of course I'll have a purse, but pockets are just about indispensable.

Hmmm... my red luggage is going to stand out quite a bit from my wardrobe.  But who cares!  I'm going to travel!  Still so excited, still so many months to go.  Sigh.
