Goals

Summer has always felt like a time for making things happen.  I suppose that's what the New Year is all about, but that's such an inconvenient time of year - right in the middle of things.  Here's my list:

• - knit the quilt
• - make enough $$ to pay for one half of my Harlaxton adventures.
• - learn to juice (my interest has piqued) 
• - then, learn to appreciate what I've juiced
• - bake something fabulous with my momma
• - become a pescatarian, because daddy's fish is just too good
• - read consistently
• - write consistently
• - spend more time outside

Sounds like I won't have much nothing-time this summer. I'm alright with that :)

Post on the Battle of the Kittez later today.

Busy Bee

I need to get better about writing things down here. It's been a hectic couple of weeks and I feel like I have a lot to share!!

For instance, I went to a doula workshop in Austin:

It was a truly magical experience and I do feel like it's changed me for the better.  Feeling like I can really make a difference in people's lives is a great thing.  

There is a quilt I'm planning on (or, rather, procrastinating) starting.  I can't for the life of my find the pattern for it, which is not a good thing...  That's my big knitting project for the summer.  I'm also planning on reading about 5,000 books, but when am I not? 

Basically my summer will be filled with smelly, drooling dogs, a painfully complex quilt pattern, a typewriter (that I'm planning on writing the Great American Novel with), fabric and paint (I'm redesigning my bedroom), 5,000 unread books,  naps, and this one boy that I just can't seem to ignore.  Oh, yeah.  I'm going to New Mexico, too!  

Let's get started!!!
