Well, Thanksgiving was great. I got to spend the better part of a week with great friends, eating great food and just enjoying life. Who could ask for a better holiday!
We had a huge dinner for the holiday. Everyone helped out and we ended up with way too much food, all of which was vegan and tasty! Tofurkey, Field Roast, sweet potatoes, dressing, vegan mac n cheese, vegan meatloaf, garlic and kale, pot pie and so much more. I thought I would explode by the end!
People doin stuff:
Other events from my week in DC included a Drank Party, thrift store shopping, watching football, baking, dessert potlucks, shopping, over eating and shows. Some friends of mine played a show on Sunday night that was amazing. You should go listen to The Ambulars (I dont know how to to the link thing so here: http://www.myspace.com/theambulars ). My favorite song is Lighthouse. Even if I didn't know these kids personally I would still be excited about the band.
I saw this on the side of a bus and thought it was just silly.
I came back to New York very late Sunday night for a date to the opera. It was wonderful and I got to get all dressed up and have a fancy night out. The show was a work by Mozart called Le Nozze di Figaro. It was at the Metropolitan and to top it off I got to sit in the grand tier (It means I had one of the best seats in the house). I really enjoyed it and hope to be able to go again soon! I thankfully remembered to snap a photo just before running out the door.
My week only got better when I received a text telling me I had a place to live. I moved in two days ago. Its been nice having a room but things are tense and awkward with the new roomies. I thought they would be rad because they are young and vegan and straightedge but they eat tons of shitty food and invite their friend over to get drunk... its just weird. The girl who lives here also brought a cat home the other day. I'm not really into pets right now and I really hope she doesn't want me to have any part of its care. I don't even want a litter box in the bathroom because if she doesn't clean in then Ill have to smell it and I didn't bargain for that.... Whatever, it will be fine.
On the up side I have a bedroom. And a temporary bed until mine arrives next month!
I started working on my cross stitch again! I hope to finish it soon because I need to send it to my friend. Im sure he is wondering where his surprise is!!! This is what I have done so far.
Its about 30 hours of work so far, its extremely detailed. I have another three left and then Ill have to frame it and ship it down!
Ive also started working on letters to pen-pals. I like to include little trinkets in them so if you have any ideas or suggestions let me know!! I like homemade or personal things. Ive had a lot of suggestions for gift cards but its just not the feeling I'm going for.......
So far my list is:
Handmade Bookmarks
Teas/ Coffee
Chocolates/ Candy
Coins/ Currency
Maps
Recipes
Mix-Tapes
Poems
Pens/ Stationary
Dried Flowers/Leaves/Bark
Bubble Prints
Pins/Buttons
Handmade Cards/Envelopes
I'm finally reading again too! A friend let me borrow Watership Down and I am very excited about it. Its kind of like LOTR but with bunnies. I'm not very far into it but I like it!
Tomorrow I'm going to the museum, I'm not sure which one just yet but it should be fun. I alway enjoy going to the museum. And I have nothing planned for Sunday. Probably just another lazy day at home with my book. :)
