First post of 2010

This is actually the 3rd day of January '10.  To my way of thinking beginnings can be quite random.  Happy New Year everyone one!  My New Year has started out quite humble and simple and happy.  Nothing big to report - yet nothing slight either.  I have enjoyed my favorite music...(which at the moment happens to be the Weepies - looking forward to their new cd which I hope will be very very soon!) I have enjoyed my favorite winter comfort foods - shapeshifting meatloaf  (never the same recipe EVER) Noodles' Wisconsin Mac and Cheese (with extra shredded cheese of course) Tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. I have given up unnecessary sugar (cookies, candy, soda pop etc.) and have found that I can actually survive in a less sweet world!  Crazy!!! I'm knitting knitting knitting - so many babies getting ready to be born - and it is so very very cold....brrrrrr.....need sweaters!!! I'm happy when I'm knitting.  My mind is free to wander aimlessly - never really getting lost but enjoying the randomness of thought.  I drink lots of black tea and on really cold mornings I drink lots of hot black coffee.  Very rarely do I have an empty mug....good for warming the hands too! Hope the world is treating you kindly - Cindi
