Always sleeping, or eating

I have had a long hiatus from blogging, but I’m back! I went to my very last class tonight and turned in my very last paper. I have two more days of work this week, and two client families to see and then I am off for three entire blissful weeks. I can’t wait!
I have started Adamas and am on the 5th repeat of the body chart. I’m almost done with Leo (literally, a few rows from seaming, shhh its a secret!).
I only have two projects going right now, but that is plenty for me. I decided not to do much holiday knitting and just focus on two things so that I can have one big knitted gift to give this year (it’s about time!).
I still have to finish my Christmas shopping this week and next. I’ve been waiting for a certain paycheck to come in, and when it does I have a few more things to get. Jered and I wrote each other lists, since we are trying to stay within a budget this year. It’s so hard!
I’m off to get an early night’s sleep. I just started reading “Wicked” and I want to get a few chapters in before bed since tv is all reruns tonight (argh).

 

An Ode to Laziness December 1, 2005

So lazy…

Floyd has got it all right. Here is his seen lounging on top of our couch, something he does most of the day, and something I plan on joining him in doing in two weeks.
Between exams (coming up next week), seeing families, finishing term papers and group projects, work, and actually having a life, there really hasn’t been much time for anything but staring blankly at the tv, wondering how everything is going to get done in two weeks.
Today I realized that its pretty much down hill after next week, so I’ve just got to get through until then.
I haven’t gotten much knitting done, but I can say that Leo’s last sleeve is about two classes away from being done (I have 2.5 hours of class tonight, and 2.5 next Tuesday). I knit one repeat of the Adamas shawl last night, surprisingly, which must mean my stress level is either peaking or winding down. I really can’t tell which.
Tomorrow I hope to crank out my last two projects and study a bit for next weeks exams. Jered and I are going to a Christmas Tree lighting and lighted boat parade down at the river tomorrow night, and oodles of Holiday parties over the next couple of weeks.
I love the holidays. Once class/work/families are over I plan to sit on that couch with Floyd and revel in some hedonistic laziness.
Oh yeah, you wanted knitting pictures. Sorry. Maybe next time.
