so here it is, folks, the very beginnings of my blog that will chronicle my journey to dublin and, eventually, back. not much to report tonight, except that there is officially one week left until i depart for ireland and i must confess that i am not even close to being ready. there is still so much to do…
- i still don’t have a warm winter coat, so i need to buy one. i knitted myself an ivory hat and scarf, so preferably in a colour (notice the british spelling? i hope i fit in over there…) that matches.
- i also do not have a raincoat, although it would have come in handy this summer considering how much it rained in new york city.
- i need to buy new mascara and some prep and prime for my eyelashes - i bought some about a month ago but con bought it off me when she came up to visit so i’m back at square one with that.
- my luggage is still in new jersey, making it moderately difficult to pack.
- i don’t have winter boots that aren’t uggs and aren’t rainboots and aren’t leather so i guess really the thing i don’t have is snow boots, which, now that i think of it, i do, so scratch number five off the list.
- i still haven’t figured out how to knit mittens.
it’s late and that’s all i can think of right now, although i am certain there are plenty more things i’ve forgotten that i’ve forgotten to do. maybe i’ll remember tomorrow…
