Chocolate, mmmm

Hey look!

Did you know that dark chocolate can help you to keep your blood pressure down, and can also help to make you skinny?  Can't complain about that!

This post brought to you by chocolate.

Elvis!

I had to run back to Boston this weekend - and look who I found when I arrived!

You probably can't tell, but that is a hummingbird (you're just going to have to trust me).

New Hampshire is awesome. We kayak, climb mountains, and visit yarn stores.

Actually, i guess most of that happened in vermont. Whatever, they're right next to each other....

Weakness

I'm generally pretty careful with what I eat. I try to stay away from chemicals and processed foods. I buy organic when I can afford it.

But I'm still completely obsessed with these things:

Update!

A lot has been happening!  I'm in NH/VT for the summer on what I'm calling a "working vacation."  Awesome job and fantastic views wherever I go.  Like this one:

and this one:

Things I'm reading:  The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver.  Looooove it, but it's super long so I don't see me reading anything else this summer.  I'm a slow reader.  

Knitting:  Trying to write up a pattern for a cardigan thing I made up.  Here's a blurry photo of it:

If you think you'd be interested in test knitting (or would like a better photo to see if you would like to be a test knitter) let me know!

Watching:  Well, I watched Lady and Tramp the other night.  It was entertaining enough.  

Eating:  Apples and peanut butter every day for lunch.  

Today: going to a farmer's market in VERMONT (I love saying that.  I'm going to Vermont....)

Also:  Know anyone who is looking for a book conservator?  I'm looking for a job.  Actually it doesn't even need to be a book conservation job, I'll do (almost) anything at this point.  Answering phones, cleaning floors, mowing lawns, I'm there.  Trying to stay positive and open, as you can see....
