Don't you just hate when it gets a little too cold, too fast?I took these pics only last week and well, now, it's hovering only around 0 C (32 F). Plus, most of the leaves have left their trees leaving them in their naked winter splendor.
Seriously, brrrrr.
Well, on the plus side, we actually had snow flurries just 2 days ago. It was lovely and crisp! Doug and I joined (Uncle) Nils with Dad and Gabbi for a walk and lunch. It was for Nils' birthday. What a treat. It was fun, to hang out and just wander about and talk and stuff... and then eat a tasty meal. Good times, good times.
I figured I'd post that pic of my friend, Rebecca. We do a lot together these days. We have craft days once a week where we create and work on all sorts of crafts together or just in company of one another. We study our classes together, and now, we work together. I thought she'd enjoy some of the aspects of working with Caffe Italiano, and well, it proved to a well beginning! Who knows where this chapter may lead next! This is her first job, but her head's in the right place to have any job, just wish many companies would realize that.
Anywho, I'm out, wanna keep knitting some projects!

A Random Reme
I have been tagged by my sweetie sister in law, Sarah. Since she has tagged me and I haven't written in a while, I will use this as an opportunity to do so; so, here goes. Sad to say, however, I don't know how random my points will be... but I hope fun anyways.
********************************************************** Rules:
Once tagged, you must link to the person who tagged you. Then post the rules before your list, and list 8 random things about yourself. At the end of the post, you must tag and link to 8 other people, visit their sites, and leave a comment letting them know they've been tagged.
1. I have officially begun a new craft. Knitting! And I love it. I find it the most wonderful get-a-way from studying Swedish. Perhaps, one day I can knit little cupcakes and "treats" for my niece, Cadence and my new nephew, Shepherd. But here is a pic of my 2 new completed projects, a deer printed cloth and a little java sweater! YAY!
2. I went to Catholic schools in primary school but switched to public schools in middle school and for high school. Although the classmates were rougher over all, I found the education to be far more quality over all... until I hit Universities. DePaul was far more interesting and quality than University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh, however, neither had any religious leaning.
3. I thought I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do after college, but after business school realized that I know not what I want to do. I still have no idea what to do other than coffee related industry work, since I feel sadly, but yet in a way advantaged to know. I have a job and my peers need one. So, that's cool, but, I can't really tell if I really want to stay in it... I think I will for a time being. It's easier, I do know it and understand it, and well, I think Caffe Itlaiano and I work amazing well together.
4. I love to cook! Getting gourmet is one of my favorite things! Take this Mushroom Bisque Soup for example! Oh yum. I made this lovely number inspired from the soup we had at the wedding. I used 2 huge portabellos, a few fresh shitakes I think, and a massive amount of these lovely button mushrooms! Oh yum. I wish you all could have tasted it.
5. I think I have to have chocolate almost each and every day.
6. I actually gave up coffee drinking for about a whole year and a half, and caffeine for about 2 years. I actually loved it... after all the toxins were out, but now have returned to having a bit almost every day.
7. I enjoyed only very small pockets of high school or college. In fact I will say that I hated most of those 8 years. I'm very glad to be out and have a different mindset should I go back to any given university.
8. My favorite colour is a rainbow, not orange. I really enjoy all colours, not just orange, although it is uniquely friendly and warm and apparently, as I'm noticing, an extremely popular colour with blue and/or green in web design!
So, now it is my turn to tag this fun randomness to another. David and Ted, my blogging brothers, and my soon-to-be-sister-in-law, Becki, consider yourselves "it"!
