Monday? Already?

How can it be Monday already?  How come Saturday and Sunday go by so much faster than a Monday or a Tuesday or definately the never ending Friday.  I just don't get it!  I got nothing done and my ambitions were so high for the weekend.  My craft room is still a mess, I got none of my reading done and very little of my knitting.  What the heck did I do all weekend?????  Apparantly, very little.

I have all that Christmas knitting to do, all those slippers to make.  At least they only take about 4 hours per pair but I won't do the math for 9 pairs because that will disturb me.  Instead I will just think about how they will keep me busy on the bus going home.  Oh, and then I have to do the million rows of garter stitch for the bag I am making in the class I am taking.  At least that can be done while I also read, thereby killing two birds with one stone.  I can read the book I need to read for bookclub and knit at the same time!

I still have no gift ideas for my husband.  The ring he lost is just too darn expensive to replace.  He is so difficult to buy for.  I wish he would give some hints but he's not really good at that.  The best thing I can do is walk the mall with him and see what he admires.  That works sometimes!

A little bit more than two weeks until I leave for my knitting retreat in Seattle.  I am trying to decide what clothes and shoes I won't mind throwing out after the dying class.  I am so excited about this.  I cannot believe I am going to spend a weekend with the Yarn Harlot and Tina from Blue Moon Fiber.  I can hardly wait!

Did the greeter thing at KC this weekend.  I hate doing it but Frank says I am so sincere.  I guess I am a better actor than I thought.  Actually when I am there doing it I don't mind but since I really did not want to go to church this Sunday it was a drag.  I did leave as soon as table talk started, something I have never done before.  I don't know what is going on but that is not the place I want to be these days.  I guess I need to explore those feelings.

Next Sunday I am having breakfast with my brother so that should be fun.  I may go to church afterwards if we get done early enough.  I did that the last time we went out.  Maybe this time we will invite the spouses.  I'll check with him on that.

Only work four days this week, WAHOO!  Those five day weeks are killers.  How soon can I retire?
