Seasons change. On the back of winter rides the bearer of light.

blogging in the shower
Lots of people sing in the shower. C. plans his day there. I can hear him discussing things with employees and clients and figuring things out. Me, I blog in the shower. There, my entries are witty, informative, colorful stories.. things I’d like to read. The words flow freely, my typing is always accurate (and fast), my spelling is correct, and I know exactly what I want to say. Then, just like the shower soprano, I get out, dry off, go about my day and apparently all that blog.o.bility dries up with the bath towel. Know what I mean?
Well.. anyway… Last evening I watched the Motorcycle Diaries. It was wonderful. It’s early Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara. I highly recommend it. The problem.. it is subtitled. So unless you are fluent in Spanish, I’d suggest an easy knit to accompany this film. Something stockinette, perhaps. As I had just started the lacy part of the Wool Peddler, I needed to shift gears. I needed another gift for a young girl. One movie, one neck scarf thingy. The details need to be completed. This time I thought I’d use a rose for the flower, something a bit smaller than the flower on the last one. It, this flower, is not as much fun as the one the pattern has written. This one is just not going to make it without a cute button accent, maybe a little color.
It may just need a different flower. I’ll think of something.. but first, I need to finish the Peddler.
Baking.. it’s hard to de- carb recipes and still make them taste the way you want them. So far I’ve been sticking to things with loads of nuts, not much sugar:
- Almond Cranberry Biscotti
- Cashew Butter Cookies
- Walnut Crescents
- Spiced Pecans.
I’m always looking for new ones, anyone?

Definitely could do with a button, but I think that’ll really “pop” the flower out.
I have a few cookie recipes that might suit the bill – I’ll try to find a few and email them to ya off line. Assuming I get out of work at a decent time today. -
OK, so I can’t see very well: without my glasses I thought the picture said *needs bourbon*. I thought that an odd choice for a young girl, but hey? maybe an East Coast tradition? And really, bourbon might do just as well as a button. How old *is* this girl? :-)(Glasses aside, maybe it’s me? who needs the bourbon?)

KNOW exactly what you mean! Mine hits when I’m out on a walk or doing chores…get infront of the computer..blip- gone! I’ve learned to take notes! I need to take notes on your baking list..mine are tooooo full of sugar and fat!
Perhaps a cute wood button? -
yup, I blog/think/solve the world’s problems in the shower. I blame it on genetics because my mom does too…
I had a recipe for pistacio dark chocolate bark that was similar to a brittle that’s low carb; I’ll see if I can find it. -
I get pieces of blogs in my head through the day. Nothing forms in coherent shape. Sitting at the keyboard is the only way I can do it, and then it is either good, or it is ‘eh’.
Cookies ‘r carbs here. If I run into something, I’ll forward it on. -
Want to start a Shower Blogger support group? My husband is getting used to me running out of the bathroom in a towel desparate for a piece of paper. It never works.
As for recipes, try Passover recipes. They are flourless and the sugar can be adjusted. I can give you some suggestions of books to look at, or try epicuriousdotcom.

the day after
Yep, after yesterday’s involuntary blog withdrawal, I’m sitting here taking stock of my blog parts, er..mmm… my blog.o.bility, so to speak. One of the interesting things I’ve noticed is that TypePad’s type size seems to be directly linked to the now missing photo size.. not much there, but a little bit of something interesting to me. Quite honestly, this time of year I can use as much time away from the computer as I can possibly stand. I’m cleaning, knitting, KNITTING, sneaking a little bit of plying in (mostly because my wheel is in a sunny window and all that radiant heat feels SOOOO good, and thinking that I really need to get baking soon. Tomorrow, I’ll post pics, that is if Typepad is ready, ’cause Podo got lights today.
ps. We all need some down time. Let’s not get our collective panties in a bunch, heh?

If it was going to happen this was certainly a good time. It’s disconcerting, and there was a bit of withdrawal, but it is little freeing, too.

Ah yes, wisdom! I’m putting myself on a blog diet. Need to get Stuff done around the house, and it has been sorely neglected.

Thanks for the perspective. You have a gift that way. Happy knitting and baking.

My god, that photo is friggin’ amazing!
Lovely picture, especially today on Winter Solstice 😉
What a gorgeous picture! Of course, that’s the kind of weather that really worries me–broken bones, exploding trees–but oh, is it beautiful to look at!
That is one gorgeous picture!
OOOH, beautiful. I’m on my way to NC and I hope, hope, hope there is some snow. Have a lovely holiday.
You made me very happy to have our warm spell. The picture is amazing, however. Happy Solstice and a very Happy Holiday Season!
Exquisite. And perfect symbolism.
Beautiful. Merry Solstice to you!
So beautiful. Thank you.
You have such beautiful pictures. *sigh* I wish we had snow in Los Angeles!
Your ice picture is wonderful and totally foreign to me.
Summer here started on December 1. The seasons here start on the first of December, March, June and September. The weather doesn’t take much notice. It does its own thing quite happily. 🙂
