Planned Randomness?

Tomorrow is supposed to be the start of another week of vacation, but we've been so busy, we haven't decided what we're going to do.  We have something to do in the city on Sunday which kinda pooches up the whole week off thing.  And vacating the neighbourhood for Taste of the Danforth.  While we wouldn't be in the thick of it like Michelle, it's a bit tiring after all these years and well the tzaiki is off the souvlaki at our house. 

Adding to my vacation woes is the fact that I'm still getting my course reader together for the Fall and I need to get it to the printer this week.  I just need to shut off my brain and pull out a few of the readings (there are too many and they just won't read them all) and send the damn thing out.  Tommorrow.

I'm thinking it'll be a city vacation--just hanging out, being lazy, knitting, playing etc.  But Type-A girl that I am, and fearing the boredom of my children, I need to plan the lazy.  So, very very sad isn't it?

I'll save you from my ravings with a little bit of knitting.  First, the baby is still in the womb. and the sweater is blocking.  If I have time tomorrow, I'll do all the assembling. 

And I started a little quick scarf project for myself.  I have been fondling the Silken Straw at Alchemy for a few months and finally decided to give it a try.  Gold is not one of my usual colours, but Megan convinced me to expand my palette.  I'm using Wannietta's pattern and I'm loving how the subtle colour changes work with the lacey pattern.  Fun and easy. 

I'm still ignoring Angie.

Now back to Women and Health readings and obsessing about how to have an enjoyable week off with no advanced planning.

The yarn is gorgeous & I'm glad that the pattern is highlighting the variegation so well. I'll be watching to see it finished - no pressure!

Sweater blocking, baby cooking ... they're both almost done! Yay! :)

The scarf is lovely. I have always liked that pattern. Maybe one day I'll make it for myself. :)
