So, I’ve sort of been offline for the last week. Business is picking up at work, which results in longer days, which results in short evenings, and I’m in bed asleep before I can think of anything to blog about.
I’m kind of at a standstill on the crafty front. I just can’t find anything that I really feel like working on. The Wavy scarf is in official hibernation for now. The Cozy shawl is just sitting there, begging to be worked on, but I’m just not feeling it right now. I started a super-simple hat that is half completed, and also a filet crochet panel. But I’m just not jazzed about any of it right now.
In more exciting (for me) news. I had been thinking of going to Boston this summer to visit my Great Aunt Madelyne and her daughter Ann. I wasn’t sure when Aunt Mad was supposed to come back from Alaska, and what with trying to figure out summer vacations at work, plans were sort of all jumbled up. Then, in one Saturday, plans just sort of fell into place and everything worked out and I couldn’t be more excited. Aunt Mad is coming back from Alaska in July, along with her other daughter Myra (who lives in Alaska). My mom hasn’t seen Myra in 25 years, I apparently saw her when I was two but I don’t remember it. Anyways, Mom and I are flying into Boston the day after Myra and Aunt Mad get there. Neither one of them have any idea we’re coming, so its going to be a big huge surprise. Hopefully a good one.
