Nothing

Hey, guess what's going on here that's interesting? That's right - nothing. Today was just a normal day, which isn't necessarily bad. It went like this:

• Wake up at 6:30 am
• Breakfast (homemade smoothie, dry toast, black tea, water) and internet (thank you bloggers)
• Shower and get ready stuff
• Walk to work and listen to Slate Spoiler Special podcast on "Up in the Air" No matter how smooth Clooney is or how candy-coated they say it is, I think it was a perfect movie for our times. It hit on many elements of our modern lives, modern technology, modern relationships and the good and bad consequences of it all. It was smooth but not completely devoid of depth or tragedy.
• Arrive at work and work...attend meeting and get peeved. Talk to co-worker and feel better. Continue to work.
• Leave work and go to gym. Swear never to visit Karyn's desk for mini 3 musketeers again (Don't miss the *awesome* recipes at the web site).
• Meet Sandy in the lobby. Catch the 20 bus.
• Get off at Marczyk's. Purchase spicy hummus, an avocado, smokey chipotle chips, baguette and red wine.
• Arrive home. Reheat chili. Eat chili with a Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout (provided by Tony E).
• Purchase animal photo from etsy - Sharon Montrose.
  
• Look at the interwebs until eyes bleed...
• brush, floss, do 5 minutes of crossword puzzle and then sleep.
  

There you have it. Genevieve's Monday.

Oh, here is a Sharon Montrose example (but not the one I got):

I have just spent about an hour knitting and listening to podcasts. As a 30-something, white, female with glasses, this is about as close to heaven as you can get. Oh! And I was drinking a yummy Layer Cake Malbec!

I've come across (or been sent) several interesting knitting-related items as of late and thought I'd share them with the virtual world.

This is an astute comment from a really out there artist, Natalie Dee. For you non-knitter this comes across as pretty flat. To the knitter, this rings true.

Now this is from a truly creative, if twisted, knitter who is actually somewhat inspiring:

This little cutie appealed to me:Knitting can be utilitarian too! Who doesn't need a cable warmer?
Anyhow, I could go on about the wondrous products of knitting but that's what google is for.
