Domestic Diva

I’m feeling very domestic today. It’s kind of odd, because if there was one word I never would’ve associated with myself, “domestic” would be it. But here I am, all crafty and cooking and all of that.

Oh well.

I’ve spent most of today swatching for a secret design for a very big, very exciting super secret project that Mary and I have coming up. No details yet–but keep watching!

What? Just a few details?

Well, if you insisist…I spent most of today swatching a bunch of cables. And that’s all I’m telling you, so there!

Now I’m doing another cable swatch for work. I’m teaching an Intro to Cables class, and I want to have it on display. Hopefully I’ll have it done by tonight.

I’m also cooking dinner–I checked Nigella Lawson’s book “How to Eat” out from the library, and it was very inspiring. I’m making roast chicken, made with garlic basil butter, and roast potatoes that I got from Trader Joe’s this morning.

I love Trader Joes.

I also got a wireless internet card for my old laptop (the one without the burnt out motherboard) that is very old and very slow but will still allow me to go and blog from other places. I even found out that Arlington county has a wifi hotspot at Courthouse Plaza! I think that calls for a trip this Saturday, to sit and blog and visit the farmer’s market.

Well, I’m off to put my potatoes in the oven and get ready for tonight–it’s Sit and Knit at Michaels, and the last day of my summer shrug class (rescheduled from Saturday).
