The bad news is I have barely any time to indulge.
I crocheted some super cute coasters for my mom for Mother's Day. I do have photos, but haven't gotten around to uploading them yet.
I started the seed for the new round of "Traveling Scarf Group" I joined. My theme is "anything bright and cheerful, sparkles encouraged, and absolutely no pastels" - it's so obnoxious. I finished my portion last night, so I'll be taking some photos later.
I received the angel scarf from my last Traveling Scarf Group. One of the ladies lost another ladies' scarf in her house - no comment - so we decided to start another one for her. It's really cute and I want to take a photo of that when I'm done, as well. Which reminds me - I need to ask if she wants me to bind it off for her or let her do the honors! I'm the last one to have it before it finally gets home... a year later...
Classes are starting to take their toll on me. This week, I have an assignment that includes answering a ton of questions, plus an exam (pretty much a paper) for my other class. And I need to get moving on the final projects so I'm not scrambling at the end. On top of my full-time job, trying to help some friends with their work, starting yard work around the house (still haven't gotten there because we're barely around on weekends), and planning a 30th birthday party for Hubby that's gotten nowhere.
Needless to say, I'm going out of my mind. I feel like I have 10 people each asking for 15% of my time - there's already no time left on my schedule, so when am I supposed to get time to enjoy myself? And I'm not feeling productive at all because I have to keep going from project to project to meet deadlines and keep everything moving forward. I barely see Hubby anymore because I come home from work, set up shop on the couch, and read for class until my eyes bleed.
So knitting, crocheting, and The Other Boleyn Girl
on audiobook from Audible has been keeping me somewhat sane when I need a break. And my family is coming this weekend to install our new washing machine that won't turn my clothes black! I believe some breakfast at IHOP will be involved, as well. So things aren't that bad. Just stressful. And I miss spending time with my husband and friends without feeling like there are 15million other things I need to be doing.Sigh. Okay, personal venting over :) Photos soon!
