okay, so it's about time i start using this daggone thing. i'm going to start by doing the twenty things about me dealio that's been roaming wild over the internets. here goes.

1. i am endlessly fascinated by the building being constructed outside my window at work. big trucks! big machines digging big holes!!!!

2. i jokingly told someone that i liked her broach today, and that she should give it to me. i was FLABBERGASTED when she did.

3. i'm wearing the second of my fabulous winter wardrobe thrift finds today. i can't wait to wear the next one tomorrow. it is sure as hell going to be topped off by my new broach.

4. i sometimes go on taco salad benders for days at a time. as a matter of fact? we'll be having taco's tonight. well, they ain't quite a taco salad, but they'll do for now.

5. i'm participating in backtackII. i frogged the ENTIRE bag i had been knitting last night. i'm a gonna have to figure out a plan b. yikes!
