This past Eye Candy Friday, for example, I showed just a few shots I snapped at the MoMA. I went to the MoMA three times in two weeks (twice on lunch-hour “dates” with a friend, once with Jaax), and I now feel I know the museum like the back of my hand. It was fun taking photos of new favorites as well as seeing old standards. I also went to the ballet, an exhibit of crazy lace, and celebrated Chinese New Year—oh, New York!
Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday, after Thanksgiving (with my birthday attached, of course). In the past, I’ve had a Valentine Cookie decorating party. This year would have been the 7th annual, but with my small apartment and ultrabusy lifestyle, I couldn’t make it work. So sad! So I’m going to share some favorite shots from the past right now.
I liked this blog-wide phenomenon. I’m also a Wallace Stevens fan. And, you know, Groundhog Day and winter (but not!) and all that, too.
There was a Yoga Journal a few years ago with this phrase as the big grabber headline on the cover. I used to laugh at it–there’s something so melodramatic about it. The article was about the upwelling of emotions that can happen while doing yoga–the idea being that sometimes you release a muscle or an area of your body and you tap into bottled up emotions, which come out during class, sometimes without a clear reason.
Well, this weekend I knew the reasons. I was both happy and sad, and I had my share of both laughter and tears on the mat.
My knitting mojo has been on the fritz, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. I’m knitting in bits and pieces here and there, but I’m lacking the longish stretches that I was accustomed to when I lived in Philly. Plus I’m on the sleeves of the Cambridge Jacket, and we all know what fun sleeves can be.
In order to get myself more inspired, and to meet some new knitters, I joined Sit ‘n’ Knit New York, a meetup group that I’ve known about for a while because of Annie Knits and other bloggers who have mentioned it either to me directly or on their own blogs. Little did I know that the group organizer, Anne-Marie, is actually THE Annie of Annie Knits! She welcomed me by name (Minty)–it took a bit but then I put it all together. (Or maybe she just told me who she was, and it required no “putting together” but I finally understood.)
