Ten on Tuesday - Looking Forward

Today's Ten on Tuesday topic is 10 Things You Are Looking Forward To Right Now. I think this may be just what I need in the middle of February, with seemingly endless snow and below zero temperatures. So, in no particular order, I'm looking forward to:

1.   My second cup of tea.

2.   Getting my grocery shopping done. I've procrastinated this morning, and I'm going to regret it when I finally get to the store since there is more snow on the way. French Toast weather means everyone will be there buying eggs, bread, and milk.

3.   Finding my next really good book. I've been in a small reading slump and have been looking for a truly excellent, engrossing book. I'd love to hear your suggestions!

4.   Frank Underwood's return. I can't wait until February 27th!

5.   My niece's wedding this weekend. It will be a real treat to see lots of family and enjoy a wonderful celebration.

6.   Figuring out what to wear to my niece's wedding. My "wedding clothes" are more appropriate for spring and summer, and nothing in my closet seems right. It will be interesting to see what I end up wearing, especially because I really dislike shopping.

7.   Finally finishing these fingerless mitts. Another hour or two of knitting and I'll be done, but I've been spending too much time on ravelry and not enough time knitting.


8.   Working on my Campari Hitchhiker.


9.   More hyacinths! I've been forcing hyacinths so I have continuous blooms this winter and it's worked so far. I started three more this morning and it made me happy to hurry Spring along.


10. More amaryllis! Two of my amaryllis have surprised me with second flower stalks, and they're getting ready to bloom.


11. And for a bonus #11 since we only have 11 more days in February, I'm looking forward to these!

  5. Your hyacinths must make it feel like Spring is blooming in your house. What a great way to chase away the winter blues.

  6. A wedding is just the thing to chase the doldrums away! Our snowdrops are under so much snow I don't think we will see them until April this year!

  11. So many wonderful things to look forward to!

    My book suggestion would be: (historical fiction) All The Light We Cannot See or (thriller) The Girl On The Train.

  12. SO looking forward to Frank's return! I love the bright colors of your knitting projects . . . those help fight the winter blahs, for sure! Same with your blooms . . . the perfect antidote to Yet More Snow. I've been in a reading slump myself. When that happens to me, I usually turn to the classics. Dickens, anyone?

  13. Have you ever watched the original British House of Cards? There are four episodes and three sequels, each another four (or so) episodes. It has much better acting than the American version, imho. It is available to stream on Netflix, too.
