*insert yelps of pleasure*

This is the second time in 3 days in which I’ve been left home alone. The first time I only got 3 hours and proceeded to spend 2 of them sleeping. Somehow excitement always translates into the best naps of my life. Or maybe the building up to the possibility of being home alone, led me to an adrenaline rush and consequent crash. Either way, I’m not going to let anything like that happen today.

The in-laws have been raving about Rome. They love the sights, they love the food, they love the apartment and how clean we are. Methinks someone has been sniffing glue. I’ll take all this love, though. I’m actually enjoying them, except for the constant Courtney praising we’re subjected to (I am particularly vulnerable to that, since I find it so ridiculously annoying) and the constant worry of not being entertaining enough (that’s my fault entirely, since they seem to be pretty content taking it easy). We went to Spaziani in Riano and it was excellent. Angela took us there (and beyond) and was awesome all throughout the evening. Today we’re headed to my mom’s ultra early and spending Xmas eve there. I haven’t bought any gifts and this doesn’t feel much like Xmas, but I still can’t wait to go over and spend time with her (let the xmas knitting commence!). We did buy ourselves an anniversary long weekend in Paris, so we’re not completely empty handed. Pas de tout, in fact. I cannot cannot cannot wait to go. I just hope to have a job by then, so we can actually afford all the delicious French food. Tarte aux framboises, here I come!

I cannot wait for this seasonal crap to be over, so people can go back to being introverted in their homes and I can roam the streets freely, going from knit group to knit group. I am making new friends thanks to the knitting (a life saver in so many ways) and I couldn’t be happier. I just have to spend more time knitting and less time thinking of knitting. I finally finished the second round of the hat test pattern and am about to start testing the lobster pattern any minute now. Whee!

I better get out of this chair and onto enjoying my time alone. Many adventures await and some of them don’t require pants!
