what to do?

This here is a picture of Zachariah in his almost Wallaby. We were at the Grand Canyon and Dave, Sarah and Lindsey were on a hike. Zachariah and I drove to the end of the path to await their arrival. He kept wanting to try on his sweater. One sleeve on, one sleeve on stitch holders and the body of the sweater . . . well, that is what is in the bag! Obviously, he is excited!



I have to admit something. Since I have gotten back from vacation, I have not touched my knitting. Now, it isn't that I've been sitting on my arse doing nothing. I did start my MBA program (three classes a week: Friday evenings (but not every Friday evening) and 8 to 5 on Saturdays). Plus all the requisite homework and projects that go along with this type of adventure. The plus side is that you do work your arse off for 11 months but then it is over. All in all, I have 40 more Saturdays and 27 more Fridays, but whose counting?

On Sunday, I took apart Z-man's bunk bed. It took up too much room and he would have been swinging from the ceiling fan anyway. It is one of those wonderful set ups where the desk and some storage space are built right in to the bed. The lower bed is actually a separate piece so it was just a matter of taking the upper bunk off and taking it apart and moving all the pieces around. He was very excited. I put a table with a lamp next to his bed and he was very excited the next morning because he turned on his table lamp instead of the overhead and it was "very cool." So he turned it off and on several times. Isn't it wonderful what excites a 5 year old!

I also bought a new laptop as my old one kicked the bucket while we were gone . . . that and Z-man would have had fit if I took his laptop away. So now I have to set up my new Dell which arrived today and do my homework and study for an HR exam. I am chomping at the bit to set up the laptop. It is a great thing. Isn't it wonderful what excites a 51 year old!

And I have all this beautiful yarn calling my name . . . I have bamboo and Wool of the Andes and Memories in S'more. I have Z-man's Wallaby almost to the point where I add the pouch. I have a bowl that needs to be felted. I wonder how pissed off my profs would be if I knit in class. Hmmm, I do have an hour in between classes on Saturdays.
