Late morning porridge

It seems I'm a bit slow today. I'm eating my morning porridge now, 1pm.. I've been up longer though and I've had my morning tea earlier. I've taken it easy today, reading some new blogs (Thanks to Monda who so kindly lists those blogs worth of reading.) and doing some knitting. I'm finally knitting something for myself. I have a pair of woolen socks on the way and I started two nights ago with a pullover with cables.

Yesterday I got my last Christmas present. And it was a good present, simply because it was the only present I got that I had mentioned on my Christmas wishlist in this blog of mine. I got the book of Slash, my good friend Heidi bought it to me. I'm a bit excited about the book because it is in Swedish (I believe I mentioned I prefer my books, especially biographies, in English..). I do read books in Swedish as well, don't get me wrong, I like reading books in Swedish and it's not any big deal. Actually I started reading this book already last night and it seems so interesting and I'm very happy to have the book. But I believe that I still have to read it at some point in English.. :) Simply because the fact is that most of the good stuff, most of the jokes lose their point when translated to some other language. And I want to GET IT all as it was meant. (A good example of how translation changes the book is Mötley Crüe's The dirt. I've read it both in Finnish and in English and I must say that the English version was way better. I did laugh and cry while reading both versions but still...) Anyway, Heidi also gave me a beautiful, handdyed blue garn and now my mind is slowly overheating when I try to come up with ideas what I could do of it. I also have two more projects going on, something for my nephew and to his mum, Reija, who won in my Christmas lottery. I'll tell you more of each project in my project blog later on, when they are close enough ready.. :)

Although the other Christmas presents I got weren't mentioned on my wishlist they are equally as good presents. I got a bracelet and some bling-bling to my mobile phone from my little sister. Her school friend makes those. I got ones with small silver skulls in between. I got almost matching earrings from my brother's family (I bet Reija had done the purchase.) and ofcourse.. Christmas isn't a Christmas without chocolate. I also got scissors I asked for, from my father and his wife. And the concert ticket to Sebastian Bach concert I got before Christmas from my friend Eija. I bought myself a perfume on my way back to Finland. That's pretty much everything I got. Good presents. :)

I desided to start real active job searching today. Well, the searching isn't really a problem. I've actually already found quite good places. But I absolutely hate to write job applications. Why can't someone just call me and tell they have a job for me.. Anyway, now I'll start getting ready to grocery store (that means getting clothes on)..
