What I am doing now and in 2011

Well, I haven't blogged in a while. My bad. I've been pretty busy. I know. So here's the quick rundown.

-busy with work
-busy with the kids
-State Representative (board position) with twin club
-Counselor with the Pathfinders at church (10-15 year old youth group)
-Thirty-One Independent Consultant

That is the "going on right now" on top of the holidays and feverishly crocheting for gifts and just because I love to this time of year.

Next year, in addition to the above items, because NONE of them are going away...

-Deaconess at church
-tackling Master Guide in Pathfinders (the kids all have different levels they earn, similar to moving from one level to another in scouts, except in Pathfinders you truly EARN your way from one to the next, and adults can earn Master Guide, and from what I am reading, it is NO SMALL UNDERTAKING!!!)
-moving sometime between April and August, hopefully not far, but still, it's a HUGE disruption
-hoping to attend the Thirty-One convention in July, if I can afford it
-At some point I may need to make a trip south, but that is still up in the air, timing and money play a big role in that.

So as you can see, I will be one BUSY BUSY beaver. But happy. :)

Soft, fuzzy yarn

So BFF asked me yesterday why I don't knit anymore. That was an easy one to answer actually, I hurt my wrist about 2 1/2 years ago, and ever since then, knitting has been painful. Some days I can knit for an hour, some days, only a row or two. But, crocheting didn't seem to have that effect on my wrist. Truth is, I haven't done any crocheting since early last fall at least, but PROBABLY later than that. :(

I was thinking more and more about it. I should really get back into it. I have a HUGE, and I do mean HUGE, yarn stash. A TON of wool, lots of super soft Caron Eco-Soft Acrylic that is nice against the skin. The girls are frequently fighting over the blanket I made a couple years ago, dubbed the funky chunky blanket. Maybe it's time to pull the hook back out.

Stay tuned for news. I am not certain yet, I really have been concentrating on reading. But maybe something I can do when reading isn't working for some reason. :)
