i just received LAST-MINUTE KNITTED GIFTS by joelle hoverson and i am so psyched to start knitting! i've been on a bit of a knitting hiatus as my life has gotten way out of hand as my last entry probably exposed. way too much noise in my life this past 3 months. time to relax and enjoy my friends and family instead of contantly doing stuff for them, you know? OH, i also chopped my hair off for locks of love...it's back to the same length and almost identical style as it was when i got pregnant with josiah. you know, back when i still had time to care about my hair. i will take some pics of my "new" hair style and my chopped off ponytail and post it next time. it's kind of surreal to see my hair just sitting in this bag. i think it weighs at least 3 lbs. kinda nuts, eh?

i've been on the computer for 2 hours now and have nothing to show for it. i was supposed to prep my stmaping party for 2 tomorrow (2 ppl, can you believe it? the girl doesn't want to reschedule for 2), but instead i am wasting precious sleeping time doing NOTHING. i am a fool. but what can i say, you just need to be lazy sometimes. especially when you've had the day that i've just had. woke up too early, sneezing left and right, took the smush to daycare, went to osc meeting (fun, fun, fun), went to otolaragologist (camera up the nose and down the throat. good times), met up with sophie who had picked up the smush for me and had coffee-lovers only at cold stone, went shopping for a 7 yr and a not-quite-yet-newborn (baby shower) at target, went home, started to prep party and clean office, stopped when ups guy arrived and distributed the stampin'up goodies, then started dinner for fam and 4 guests (it was great, coconut shrimp and rosemary-crusted pork tenderloin, and then amaretto chocolate fondue), then i cleaned and enetertained, then went walking and handed out invitations for a mother's day stamp camp scrapbooking event. now i'm just wasting precious hours on this MACHINE while my loved ones are all tucked away in bed. i am a fool.

Josiah had a blast at Myrtle Beach. He didn't want to leave! I'm trying to figure out ways to get a place by the ocean...it was such a great little getaway. Now it's back to my little knitting dilemma. It was nice to get away, but I need to get back to my lacy knitted shawl-thingy. Had a bit of a crisis wih it the other day, hopefully I can resolve it now, since I've been able to take a break and relax at the beach. hopefully. If not, I'll just take it with me to the beach next time and figure it out in the sand and sun.
