Yikes!

Be forewarned that this is a bit of a rant.



I feel just a tad bit overwhelmed right now. I'm running out of time on all fronts. I leave in 2 days (yea!) but am pretty much booked between now and then. So there goes my wonderful plan of being very well rested to deal with our red eye and crazy connections that we'll be facing over two days of traveling. I can't wait until I'm finally at our gate, made it through security and can just breath.



I had packed a week ago, but then unpacked as I realized the clothes would get wrinkly and not be super fresh all cooped up in the suitcase. So need to repack and hopefully not miss anything. I have a few things I need to return so I can get full credit (not store credit) back - I got a little excited about the trip and wanting to find just the right shoes and bags and everything. Need to reign things back in.



And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Things on the work front are c-r-a-z-y in a completly different way. Can't say much, but let's just say I was starting to explore different options and all of a sudden I find myself being courted left and right. It's both wonderful and overwhelming at the same time. I just need to step back and take a break from things for a little while instead of being pulled like a rag doll back and forth. Maybe leave the country. Amazing how the timing of things all work out.



Knitting is going no where fast. I'm in a stalemate with one huge project which is time sensitve. This has created a domino effect in that I feel like I shouldn't be working on other projects until I wrap this one up, but also have other time sensitve baby sweaters. There's just too many babies. Last night I was trying to figure it all out and finally just gave up and decided to go back to the good old tried and true Pea Pod baby sweater. I'm working on #4, #5, and #6 right now (not qutie #6, but the yarn is getting packed). The one thing that is nice about this pattern, besides how it looks and the fact it works for both boy and girls and isn't too fussy, is that the sizes are great. They offer up 3 months and 9 months, which if you're knitting for babies, having just 6, 12, 18 months doesn't always cut it.



But on the up side, I've downloaded my podcasts and music mixes for my MP3 player. I've prepped my camera. I've bought all the last minute things like batteries and gum and reading books. I've arranged a cat sitter who seems like a much better fit then the last one. I've cleaned most of the house (although, yesterday, after cleaning the previous day, I come home to cat throw up on the rug in my bedroom - it never ends). So if I can just survive the next two days, I'm golden.
