Despite my best intentions, there's been a drought in entries

I guess I'm taking a little longer than I thought to acclimate. I keep meaning to make more blog entries and then, right as I sit down to type, I remember I'm supposed to get something done and another day passes without an entry.
Today I'm breaking out of my writer's block and starting my regular entries again, and I have some big updates!

We have a new fancy TV now so I can actually see what's on from more than 6 inches away...

This has definitely made the apartment feel like a real place to live rather than a temporary set up like in college. I also finally put together our vacuum cleaner so we can have a nice clean apartment.

So now, mom, you can stop worrying...our carpet will be clean! 

I've also gotten more set up at work. My cubicle is all set up with my computer and monitor and keyboard:

As you can see it's a pretty generic cube. So I'm going to try to get some colorful pictures to hang up in it to make it more happy. Maybe some flowers and other assorted nature pictures? Since I sit in the middle of the building, I do start to miss the outside by the end of the day. 

Since I spend all day inside, I decided it's time to take up more outside hobbies. As a result I'm now working on becoming a golfer. I've been going to the driving range 2-3 times a week and I even found myself a set of new clubs on sale. They were perfect, affordable and purple, so naturally I had to buy them!

You might also notice from the above picture that I have CT plates now. I really do miss my green VT license plates. Now I really have to accept that I've moved away from home for more than just a few months at a time.

Anyway, because I've been trying to spend as much of my free time outside (weather permitting) I haven't gotten much done with my knitting...however, I have made some good progress with my strangling vines scarf. It's now 2'4" long. 

Overall, things are going well. I'm starting to settle in and I'm getting my knitting done. I also don't always get lost everywhere I try to go when I need things (I only get lost most of the time). So the area is slowly becoming  familiar and feeling more like a place I can call home. I've even gotten to see some of the places I went when we lived in Danbury when I was little. I've started to eat at Mikonos, my mom's favorite Greek restaurant and the place where I first learned to tie my shoes. I also go to St. Gregory the Great church now, which is where I went to church when I was little and where I went to school from kindergarten and part of first grade. It's pretty exciting. 

Anyway, I'm sure there are more updates than this, but I figure it's better to start small and work my way back up to regular writing (not that this is a short entry at all, haha)
