1. It's my second day of classes and I'm already avoiding doing reading. I should be reading the first chapter of my Business Communication text right now, but instead I'm updating lj.

2. Classes this semester are:
Acct 310 - Accounting Systems and Concepts
Engl 230 - Business Writing
Fin 330 - Managerial Finance and Control
Math 248 - Business Stats I

I usually take 5 classes, but because of a number of reasons (some of which are my college's fault), I can only take 4 this semester. I will take this as an opportunity to have a relaxing semester, which I very much need.

3. I appear to be safe from the death cold that Mike had for over a week. He's still a bit sniffly, but considering that he missed two days of work last week, he's doing much better.

4. My friend Geri is having a baby boy! He is due about a week after her two year wedding anniversary. I'm knitting like crazy for her already.

5. Speaking of 5, I'm a little sad that I offered five people crafty goodness through the meme that is circulating lj, and I only had two people respond. :(

6. In addition to knitting, I've been doing quite a bit of weaving, and while I had a goal of weaving fabric then sewing it into an outfit for Birka, I think that I won't quite make that. I thought I had another week before I went back to school, so there was a week less of relaxing/tv/weaving/vacation than I originally expected.

7. On Saturday, Mike and I visited two local yarn stores, and I found that I strongly prefer one over the other. Have any of you been to The Sheep Shack in Holden, MA? It's small, but cozy, and very cute. Mike was concerned when we were there because there was quite a bit of estrogen, including a woman who was due this Tuesday. Other than that, he complained very little about being subjected to yarn.

8. Appointment with the neurologist tomorrow morning. I have my ER records and CT scan films to bring in, and I'm a bit anxious, but glad to be getting on the road to answers.

Back to business communication. :/

I saw more than a dozen of those memes, and some of us just don't have the ability to do it ourselves.

Good luck with the doctor!

I will be praying for you.

Love,

Dad

You could always take pictures/create a photo collage/etc.

Just sayin' is all. :)

I just don't have the time this year to commit to 5 more craft projects, or else I would definitely have signed up for this game and especially from you.

Which reminds me... those socks you were knitting in November at Mark's birthday party... is the pattern for those available anywhere online?

Which reminds me, are you on Ravelry? Because if you aren't, you should be.

Well, I for one am psyched about you making something for me, and making things for you.

Wheee!

I should have included that I am totally excited about the people who DID respond. :)

Unrelated, I'm working on getting a decision from Mike and I about skiing.

[lanome.livejournal.com]

You're allowed to come up without him, too ;)

I'd love to see pictures of the fabric your weaving. Did you spin the yarn? What kind of outfit will you be making? Details I want details!!!

[theresat.livejournal.com]

I will have pictures soon (this weekend, maybe?).

I didn't spin the yarn, I figure that'll be my next crazy. Also, my wheel is on loan right now, so large quantity spinning isn't happening currently.

I'm going to make an apron dress, so "outfit" is a slight exaggeration on my part, but I'm excited about it. :)

LOL--do you need it back? I can bring it to Birka if you want.

1. with those classes you might be better off doing only 4 this semester. If you want to discuss anything in the business ones let me know...also for the Accounting Systems and Concepts my friend Allura is majoring in this and does it for a living so if you want I can get you to connected, she's the friend I brought the last time we all went to the Publick House.

PS the next spinners & Weavers guild get-together is at my house on Sunday, Feb 15th from noon - 5 if you are interested in coming! We sit around and spin, knit, weave, whatever and chit chat etc ;) Love to have you join us!

You can always make something for me, but I am limited in my ability to make things for other people during the school year. And you know I am a control freak when it comes to long term deadlines. :-)

Good luck tomorrow and keep me posted.

Same deal with me...no time :o)

However I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today :oP

Good luck!!!!

I have to agree with everyone else--I just don't have time right now, otherwise, I'd absolutely participate with you!

Good luck with the classes and please let us know what happens with the dr.
