Blog L'orange?

Oh my goodness makeover.
I'm back on the internet, after an accidental hiatus.
Which is to say that life became this all consuming thing, preventing me from blogging.
However, the orange book is very nearly full, which the orange blog now reflects.
Leaving out all of that "what I've done in the interim" crap, (finished first year, moved to a new city, worked a bunch of different jobs)is probably a good idea.
Right now, I'm making a pie. My first ever pie, a peach one.
It's going well, I think, though I turn behind me to check it in the oven every five minutes or so.
And knitting, I have about a thousand projects on the go.
One crochet string bag, squares for a communal blanket, a blanket of my own, a crochet purse, a scarf and a pair of mittens. But I'm on a self-imposed yarn diet, so hopefully I'll work through all of these before starting more.
Just checked the pie again. It's looking good, a little bit longer and it will be done. This pie is just a test - the real pie happens around Thursday for the boyfriend's birthday. Part of me enjoys this new foray into pie - for while I will not be awarded a blue ribbon any time soon, I don't think it's half bad - while the other part of me half wishes he could like a desert that is a)not so difficult and 2) less time consuming.
I should sleep, now that the pie is done. First aid in the morning, and I have to be up at an unholy time.
