To-Do List
Never mind me while I write up a little list of a few things that need to be done...
- Raise two happy daughters without damaging their little psyches any more than I can help. Even if one or both of them is refusing to sleep when she should, leaving me little time to do anything else but this number-one, never-ending priority.
- Find interesting, delicious, healthy things to cook and feed my family. Without using wheat, dairy, eggs or soy. (Tonight we had a pasta salad that was pretty good for a 6:00 punt.)
- Do something with all this yarn that has taken over my office room. This includes sorting it, winding it, mailing some of it off to interested parties, and of course knitting it. Minor progress is being made in each of these categories somehow, despite points 1 and 2.
- Write a blog entry. Well, here I am - sorry, no pictures today. I just don't have it in me.
- Block the items I plan to take to the State Fair - drop offs start on Monday - ulp.
- Get some stuff to the store regarding my fall classes. It looks like I'll be teaching toe-up socks, a very cute slip-stitch baby hat, and two-color, or Fair Isle knitting while designing and knitting a hat.
- Knit up those pants and that sweater that are begging to be finished before Winter sets in.
- Print all the pictures from December on and get them into scrap books. (All you knitters out there, pretend I didn't mention that. Scrap booking is my dirty red-headed stepchild of a craft, and I do not get all crazy with it, I just get the pictures into books and write some captions while I'm at it.)
- Eventually, some day, get some sleep.

I feel for you. I eventually had to give up and just let her cry it out then be extra nice to her in the morning for being a big, strong, smart, growing-up girly and going to sleep all by herself. I cried every night for a week straight while we were going through it.
Good luck on your lists. I'll send you a few energizing thoughts and some best wish thoughts for the fair entries.
I love scrapbooking but you're right, fiber people look at you really funny if you mention it. Hope you get lots of #9 tonight.
You COULD always claim the white yarn and Kool-Aid are for #1 daughter. That's what I did (#1 son, in my case).
He was fascinated and helped me mix and pour. His bit were kind of brown because he insisted on mixing blue red and green together, but hey, they were his....
I totally understand about the scrapbooking thing. It actually took over my life for a couple of months.. Now I'm back to knitting and scrapbooking on the side. I kinda feel dirty when I have to talk about scrapbooking.
Oh, I've been reading your blog since the start of the blanket and I hope to knit one myself, but maybe out of all the worsted weight I have. Some how, all of my squares turn into kites and I've tried using bigger and smaller needles and can't figure out what wrong :(
Some to-do list you've got going there.
Heh, I love to scrapbook, even if I hardly ever get to do it. I like making simple pages, but do something with them as well. I never seem to make it to scrapbook-night at my church (I'm always either busy with something else, or asleep).
