Much like GLaDOS, I'm not quite lying down and saying die just yet.

On the contrary, I've been trying to get with it and actually get around to using my Ravelry and LibraryThing accounts to actually (gasp!) track my yarn stash, open projects, and shelf invasion book collection (respectively).  I've had the accounts for a good while, after all, best to start making use of them.

Time really got away with me after the wedding in June, and life hasn't really slowed down since: Work this, car trouble that, and parents/family the other thing. Life. It happens when you have other plans, or so I've heard.

I am pleased to announce that my first ever attempt at candy making was a smash, even if I did end up burning myself on a 300°F pot full of candy -- literally just the pot and not the hot molten sugar, or else I would probably not be quite as blase about it.  Still, the recipe that I originally found on Serious Eats' Photograzing section (and now can't, naturally) made it sound really simple -- and it was, and everyone that got some for Christmas seemed to be happy with it.

Anyway. 2008 had some definite high and low points: I can only hope that 2009 treats me as well, all things considered.
