No knitting this weekend

Okay, simple equation here. There are 24 hours in the day. No matter what day of the week you are talking about there are still only 24 hours in any given day. However, if you stay up past midnight on any given day, you will then be able to really push that whole issue . . . but I guess that would mean that you would have had to get up at 12:01 or something.

Anyway, last week and this week I have way to much stuff to do and 24 hours a day isn't going to cut it.

I was in charge of the United Way raffle that we did last week . . . it went very well. We raised over $1,700. Not too shabby. I was disappointed that I did not win the tickets to WICKED. I did, however, win a gift certificate to a nice restaurant that is a favorite lunch place. I have invited a friend that can't usually afford to lunch and won't even allow me to occasionally "buy." Since it is a freebie, it should work okay.

I had my presentation on Thursday (went very well . . . at least in my mind). It was on Eli Lilly and is a case study for my Capstone course. Ah, capstone, another issue for another blog. I have my case analysis that is due this Thursday. "Should be simple because you are basically using the same information that was used for the presentation in the case analysis." Well, at least that is what the prof said . . . she lied by the way.

So, I have a 12 to 15 page report due this Thursday. I also have to read some Ethics stuff . . . even the prof says is boring . . . and have six worksheets with respect to the reading that is also due Thursday. It is on Confucious, Hinduism, Judai/Christianity, etc. zzzzzzzzzzzz
oops sorry I started to doze . . . .

I didn't knit all weekend. Nothing. Never ever touched it since Wednesday morning. I had school Thursday and it is the only day of the week that I don't bring my knitting on the bus (I review school work instead and don't take a lunch). I had a car pick me up at 5:30 a.m. and worked until 6:30 on Friday, had a dentist Saturday morning and then came straight to the office until 3:30 and then we went to neighbors for the evening. Later, I worked on my paper.

On Sunday, we took Linds to BW for the string camp. She will have a wonderful time. The campers sleep in dorm rooms. They wake at 7:00 and are out of the dorms by 8:30 a.m. They have sectional/orchestra rehearsals and private lessons in the a.m., after lunch they have recreation activities, then dinner, more rehearsals and then more recreation and back to the dorms at 9:30 p.m. The goal is to not only teach the kids how to work as a team and orchestra but to absolutely exhaust them! Check in was at 11:30 and was totally disorganized. I don't think that it was the school that was disorganized more like there seemed to be too many parents that had too many stupid questions. The school specifically said: DO NOT BRING YOUR LUGGAGE OR INSTRUMENTS TO CHECK IN. Anyone want to venture a guess as to how many parents and students were standing there with luggage and instruments????

Anyway, we didn't get home until after 4:00 p.m. Since it was 90+ degrees, Z-man and I first spent some quality time in the pool and then he vegged out watching Wizard of Oz and I wrote thank you notes to all the people who helped with the raffle. After he went to bed, and I had a glass of wine, I went back to my paper. I hate my paper. It is the SECOND last one I have to do and I hate it.

Back to the 24 hours, I don't have time. Nevertheless, yesterday I kept trying to figure out how I could squeeze in time to cast on Z-man's sweater. I thought about bringing the yarn on the bus with me this morning and balling it but decided that would be silly.

Actually, to be honest, except for my bus time, I cannot knit until this paper is done. Well, maybe I'll knit tomorrow at lunch . . . but I probably should work on my paper or the ethics stuff . . . oh, bah humbug.
