You and those little high-waisted shorts

Gots stuff going on!  From Monday to the following Sunday, for example, I'll be house sitting in Berkeley!  It is totally like a vacation for me, cause I get to play with Fyre's cats and eat all of the good Berkeley foods and get down with a backlog of stuff to do.  

1.  Cooking for a cookie exchange on Sunday!  I think I'm going to opt for lazy and make no-bake cookie dough chunks (with a dark-chocolate shell).   And thinking of making some kind of bread for my boss and his family for the holiday.  

2. Get over my sore throat ;_;  waaah

3. Read a book????? I really suck at reading.  I have "David and Goliath" by Malcolm Gladwell to read for non-fiction book club, and then "Magic Bites" by Ilona Andrews for sci-fi/fantasy book club.  

4. Arcadia stuffs!  Housekeeping and trying to fix the weird bullet problem with subaccounts.  And I'm nearly done with my Custos app too (CUSTOS).

5.  Goal of at least 4 tags <3 

6.  While I'm in Berkeley, I really want to hit up their local yarn shops, including "A Verb For Keeping Warm", which is one of the top stores in the country for learning about naturally-dyed yarns.  For knitting projects, I cleared through my gifts, and now I'm working on a linen-stitch scarf, a circular bulky alpaca cowl, and a teal-and-grey striped sweater!  But I have to start planning for some baby knits coming up soon (a nice change of pace).  

7. Start a new video game!  One of my traditions for Christmas is usually a long-haul video game playthrough.  Not sure what I'll pick for the playthrough - it could be anything from Wind Waker to the new Phoenix Wright to Pokemon Y (...I've found that I'm incapable of overwriting my Pokemon X account, so I might have to start fresh with a new game T_T)

8. Walking adventures in pretty Berkeley <3 Bought myself some new Vibram toe-shoes to adventure in as well.

Have a good holiday everyone!
