well last night was the first knitting group meeting at a local Starbucks… i would say it was kind of a flop considering only 2 people showed up, but then they were lovely girls and we sat there for hours knitting and crochet (-ing), needles and yarn going everywhere… we got funny looks from ‘studious’ individuals with books and computers around us, but we didn’t really notice or care, we had a blast… AND i learned how to crochet!! this is fabulous news, because i have never been able to really get the hang of it, and no i do and it’s great!  and because of it i’ve decided to crochet a baby blanket for my cousing Alan’s baby boy Brando!!  hopefully Brando will make good use of the blanket before he turns 1 (he’s 2 week old, ;)…)   i will be posting the few pictures i took of the get together soon…

on another note, i’ve started those night classes i mentioned before, and so far so good.. they are small groups of students, all very excited and motivated with their own ideas and projects, and that is very motivating to me.. the momentum is great.  i still have another class to start, touching on cultural heritage, etc, and that starts tomorrow… yes yes, on valentine’s day and honestly i’m quite happy for it considering my bf is many miles away (mexico)… it is also pretty fitting since i’ve never really like the holiday anyway… so from class i’ll go home to my Baci, who is always so happy to see me…  in any case, to those of you who ARE celebrating the day of love, may you have a nice one (at leat)…
