Back in the swing of things, I hope

So, I haven't been blogging much lately. Mostly because much hasn't been going on, or at least nothing worth writing about. I mean, there is a big things but I'm reluctant to write about it in fear that it will take over and become the sole topic of this space. Believe me, there is plenty to say (although,I'm sure it's all been said before) and I don't want to spoil it for everyone else. So, enough of that for now.

I'm so glad the holiday's are creeping up. They seem to give me, now more than ever, a renewed interest in the things I love and feared were drifting away a bit. I'm pretty excited about hosting thanksgiving this year. The menu is beginning to take it's shape and I'm basing on the previous two years (it doesn't seem to be the same without pumpkin cheesecake and twice-baked sweet potatoes). As a warm up, I made rugelach for the first time and brought it in to the lab for the monthly b-day celebration and they turned out pretty good.

Also, with christmas I'm starting to get ideas of what I'd like to knit and for who. I'll get into the details of all that as soon as I get a chance. It will be all organized and pretty thanks to ravelry. I know I haven't raved enough about this site but don't worry it's coming. I was finally invited to join and couldn't be more eager about project planning and so on.

All and all, I feel like I'm back and hope to keep it that way (with little spurts of absence here and there).
