Off to a good start

2013 is going along swimmingly.  I'm still alcohol-free (a pretty amazing feat!), I'm on course with my resolutions, and Doran and I have been spending some awesome quality time together.  I couldn't ask for more at this point in my life.

Here's a picture of Doran in his white belt, received early this month:

After 9+ years of knowing how to knit, I FINALLY knit my first sock.  I'm pretty proud of it, so here's a pic of that:

I'm working on the other one now and hope to have it finished by the end of the week.  Socks are a practical knitting project, and I'm excited to try different patterns. 

My book of the month is one I picked up from the library sale:  Wednesday Night Witches.  It seemed like it could be a decent read when I read the description and the first few pages, but midway through I'm not so sure.  I'll finish it though, because it's not impossible.  Next I'll read a book from the Dexter series by Jeff Lindsay:  Dexter in the Dark.  At least that's my plan.  Who knows if another title will strike my fancy first!

So that's a small update of things going on in my world.  I've naturally been doing a lot of thinking, but those thoughts can wait for another day.  For now, I need to resume my housecleaning and make some lunch.  Have a lovely Tuesday!
