A week in photos…

November 30, 2010 By Cari

This week (along with writing one and half chapters for Dancing the Maypole) I went to see my friend Debbie Webbie and met her puppy Chin Chin who’s eight months old. I also managed to do some Christmas shopping and took some photos of the snow. I can’t believe how well I feel. Compared to the end of October (when I started taking pills for my thyroid along with a large number of vitamins) I feel like a champion athlete. I can walk into town and back again every other day without feeling like I’m going to die. More importantly, I can think again. For the whole of September and October I swear my skull was housing a cabbage. I sat here watching tv murder mysteries for hours on end on You-tube, unable to think. I know I’m not well when I watch or read lots of murder mysteries; I find them  comforting. It harks back to my teenage years when every Sunday my sister Becky and I would sit up after the family had gone to bed and watch murder mysteries on Masterpiece Theater. So it’s been a good week and I wanted to share some of my favorite photos. The first three are Chin Chin and Debbie Webbie. The rest of mostly today. I had to take some books back to the library so I got the Goblin some cookies and wandered around looking weird in my double knit hats. Because I have a red coat I refuse to wear my red hat alone or my black knit hat. I don’t want the little kids to think Santa has mutated into some scary looking woman! The double hat also keeps my head really warm…and I like how it looks. I wear my long hair up in a bun underneath which makes the knit stand up so I sort of look like I have one of those elongated skulls the Egyptian royalty used to give their children. I like it!

    I love the color combo you have on there. I’m forever trying to play catch up with my winter fashion. I’ll get everything matching only to lose my hat or scarf to a child. Then I have to start all over again.

    I’m totally curious as to what you are listening to, as well. 🙂

    It took me ages to find a red hat in the right red. Now that I have lots of red (and everyone is wearing red) I really want to be wearing golden browns and golds. Based on years of freaky experience this means browns are coming. In about a year brown will be everywhere. I really want to be wearing a cape I designed last October. I have the right fabric (this gorgeous thick golden-brown wool I bought years ago for a £1 a meter at the market) I just need the energy. I’ve moved my sewing corner (pile) to the living room. You’ll know if I manage to get it made. I’ll be taking pictures of myself in it! As for what I was listening to while posing in the snow…curiosity should always be fed! Here’s the list…mostly Christmas music, but not all…

    If you’ve never heard George Winston I think you’d like him. He plays solo piano music. The December album would have to be included on a soundtrack of my life. Also if you haven’t yet heard of The Indigo Girls they’re awesome. They’re writers as well as musicians. The songs here are mostly from their first album, but my favorite is probably Nomads Indians Saints. They both play guitar and harmonize…they’re sometimes classified as folk, but I’d just call them singer songwriters whose songs are hard to peg in any one category.

    ooh, I love the Lord of the Rings soundtracks. My favorite is the 2nd one (which I do not have a copy of ::sad::) but I love the last one where the men sing their little solo’s. Love those two songs.’Home is behind, the world ahead and there are many paths to tread. Through shadow, to the edge of night…”

    Love it.

    Your playlist kills me though. I can’t have mixes of genre like that. It drives me nuts. Even my playlist on my blog sticks to one general style… slow love song sorts and the ones that I have on there that don’t mix well drive me crazy. It’s an odd little pet peeve of mine.

    I will look up george winston, just for you. 🙂
