Crazy week. Okay, crazier than most and I am a bit exhausted.
We had guests last weekend. Zhenya and her fiance, Lenny visited us for 4 days. They are young and in love. They are engaged. They are getting married. So far, pretty normal. Only thing is Zhenya lives in Moscow, Lenny lives in London and they are getting married in Hong Kong.
Now I have to admit that I knew all this but I never for ONE minute thought Frank and I would attend the wedding. I mean, have you looked at a map recently? Hong Kong is not near here. As a matter of fact it is over 15 HOURS from here. That's by plane. FIFTEEN hours. I have never been on a plane longer than 8 hours and I slept for 7 of those hours. I can barely make it to CA because that is 5 hours and I can't take a sleeping pill. And now, because of the latest terrorist attack, I will be unable to bring my knitting with me. Despite all this, we have bought our tickets. We are GOING!
Well, this big type A personality cannot see herself sitting still for 15 minutes, let alone 15 hours. True, I will sleep for 7 of it. But that leaves 8 non knitting hours. I can read, I (hopefully) can watch movies but I CANNOT KNIT!!!! This is nothing less than INSANITY. Suggestions are being accepted as to how to last EIGHT free hours with no knitting!
It snowed again last night. It was less than two inches and did not really cover the roads too bad. What worries me is that I am getting desensitized to it and don't seem to be all that afraid of it anymore. (Driving wise I mean.) I am not a good driver so that is worrisome.
Ran some errands for Normale today. That felt good. I really love her and being able to help her makes me feel real good.
Book Club had our Xmas dinner at Coho's this past Wed. Got lots of neat little gifts like real warm slipper sox, a book light, soaps, change purse, home made hard candy. Dinner was delicious and I am getting to know these women better. I don't always like the books but it's good to be around such a diverse group of women. I knit them all slippers. I will have to do some serious thinking for next year because making 12 pairs of those damn things was really boring!
Cold Weather Shelter starts in two weeks. Volunteers are scarce this year. I am glad this is the last year I will head this up. I love it but being in charge is just too stressful. Next year I will help a lot but will not lead. Hopefully someone else will step forward. The volunteers are getting older and sicker and it is time for me to let the younger congregants lead.
Went to see It's Complicated with Peggy today. That movie is hilarious. We loved it. I have not laughed that loud in a movie theatre for a long time.
Thats my rather boring thoughts for this week. BTW, Beige is not boring.

First of all, beige IS boring. Well, actually it's not really as long as you have other colors to choose from and you chose Beige b/c you are wearing a white top. BUT....I know all you own is beige so, yes, it is boring! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteHere's my thought for the flight. You have half a year to get ready for it so I suggest you learn how to knit with Pens & Pencils! I believe they're still allowed on planes and they should make a fairly good alternative to knitting needles. This should be a fun project for you and your knitting buddies to come up with projects using items allowed on planes. Have fun and Happy Knitting!
