Finally

I get a weekend at home! Though I did have to ask for it. We were planning on going up north to the cabin this weekend with Steve's parents...yea...wasn't really feelin' that. We just spent last weekend in the Wisconsin Dells for his Mom's 60th birthday. I had fun, but I really don't need to see a million people every weekend. It's not even that I haven't had that much time to knit, it's really that I want to spend more time with Steve...alone... We spend every weekend running around with either my family or his and next weekend we're going to be hanging out with friends from Michigan.

Then we'll at least have one weekend where hopefully we have nothing going on. Then it'll be the Festa Italiana weekend and then the Engagement party/Family Reunion weekend. I swear...it's almost like school can't come fast enough for me. I love the break and the fact that for the most part it's warm outside, but I feel like this summer is going to fly past.

On better news, here's what I've been working on.



Making some headway with Steve's jacket. I did also find a zipper and I'm very excited about that.



I'm excited about these, they are fun to make. The pattern only has written out instructions and it's starting to drive me nuts so I will probably be making out a chart pretty soon and sending it to the person who wrote the pattern so that she can make it available to everyone. They are the Regina Mitts on Ravelry. I'm too lazy to link those right now. So I guess you'll just have to deal. I think I might go work on my Aeolian Shawl....even though that won't get me any points for the House Cup. I'm just not really feelin' it this month...

Drunken Post

Well...

I'm a leeettle drunk-ish right now. Also a little tired. I can't seem to sleep lately. It's hard. It's a good thing I have work or I would become nocturnal like I did when I was without job or school for about 4 months...bad idea. I just like the night better. I guess it just fits who I am. Though most of the things you can do at night involve sitting around or midnight bowling...lol.

I've been working on knitting a lot lately, again. The House Cup has really kept me going. I have to step it up a little though if I want to get 25% of my sweater done by the end of June. Good thing there isn't a lot going on.

My parents are trying to plan an engagment party for me and Steve. That should be interesting. My parents can't seem to plan things very well. It's a little over a month away and the only thing we know is the weekend that we're having it. Supposedly having it that is...ugh...I have a feeling that this will be a nightmare. But I can't really say no, can I?

Well yea...We'll see how that plays out. Things are going well though. No complaints for the most part. It's exactly a year before Steve and I are going to be married. At this point we will be in a hotel room all by ourselves and married...awesome! I think I will be very glad when that is over. And that's basically because of our familes, but I've gotten the vibe that most brides feel that way. I'm just scared that I have a year left of feeling that way.

Probably time for bed before I say something that could get me in trouble down the line when someone finds this that shouldn't, but that's the risk of putting your opinion online...
