can't keep my eyes open

for some reason, i am having the hardest time staying awake tonight. i feel like someone slipped something in my food or something. i will try my best not to fall over onto my keyboard mid-post. wake me up if i do. if you could not tell from my last post, i didn't spend last weekend in la. it was mini break time and i went down to san diego with my roommate and our dear friend sheena, who is visiting from scotland. we actually all went to uc san diego together (sheena only for a year) and figured that a trip was in order since sheena was coming down. we got this great little hotel over in ocean beach, right on the water. that picture from the last post was the view from our window. i love love love san diego and only hope that i can live there again someday. we even took our own tour of campus again and so much has changed! lots of new buildings and parking structures popping up and it's just insane. but it felt so nice to be back and feel like we were home again.


there's adrienne and sheena in front of geisel library, one of the best libraries out there,named after ted geisel (aka dr. seuss)


there's me and my roomie enjoying a refreshing drink at the spot in downtown la jolla


bonfire at la jolla shores, mmm love me some s'mores

and shout out to the playmor posse, who couldn't be there this weekend. the posse rules! now it's tuesday and i can barely stay awake. i really should do some knitting but i don't know if i can stay conscious long enough. i did a bit of car knitting on the way down to sd on sat but not really much. i have been working on the ribbed sweater from the laines du nord book out of some brown sheep lp worsted. i love working with this yarn. i don't know why but i just love the way it feels and knits up. here's a bit of the back:



ooh ooh and look what i picked up at barnes and noble yesterday.



yeah- it's teva durham's new book, and it's very interesting. lots of cool patterns and interesting tidbits. i haven't actually had time to look at the new interweave knits yet but i saw the preview online awhile ago and it looked really good. what was that? stop buying knitting books and get knitting? oh but pattern books are so fun. hopefully more progress pics to show the next time around!
