And it can be a bit unbearable at times. But look, I can knit. The class was fun especially once we all started to get the hang of it. I find it mesmerizing when I see women on the subway knitting, their fingers so nimble, needles a blazin' and the yard string making texture, colors and patterns. Now, I can do it too. Cool! It's a portable way to make fabric. So are you ready for your scarf Christmas presents?
Yesterday, I kept busy. I was truthfully afraid that the sunny weather would make me sad (more sad.) It can be insufferable in my neighborhood with couples hand-holding, families hanging out on the street, brunching, biking, yacking and what not. I've learned when you live in NYC, no matter how many people are around you, it can be one of the loneliest places. With that said, NYC is still my favorite choice of residence, you just have to deal with it's ups and downs.
Later, Bill came over and we ordered delicious middle eastern food and drank some wine from my new favorite wine store. Bill gave me my b-day present. It is the most beautiful book ever! Thank you Bill!! I really needed some Bill time. We have lots of history in our friendship. We have known each other since the days in the Camelot on 45th and 8th Avenue.
Speaking about that wine store, today I'm going to sign up for their wine tasting courses. It's a great deal, 12 tastings for 60 bucks and you can bring a friend. The store interiors is very nice and they designed a great learning center in the back room. Don't tell anyone but my neighborhood is fantastic.
Today, is yoga at 10 am in the hood, I don't think I can deal with Manhattan today. I'm going to make spaghetti and meat balls for my Oscar party (Mar and me) and these little chocolate French cakes that are from The Splendid Table cookbook. P made them and said the cakes are delicious especially the second day. I'm going to give some to my lovely neighbors too.
And lastly, here is the snap-shot that I promised. A picture of my workstation at the Bunker. If you look closely, (or click on image) you can see on the left screen drawings OF workstations! Pretty amazing, I know.
Happy Sunday and Happy Oscars Night!

Oh P, yes maybe we can go to one if you are in town. I didn't get to get there today, so busy really, so busy.
Watching Inglorious Bastards and folding laundry now.
