As most of my loyal, devoted, (and yet non-commenting) readers know, I have graduated. This has caused, unsurprisingly to the world, and surprisingly to little ol' home-schooled me, an influx of cards and cash. It's rather wondrous. Really, that's all I have to say on the subject. It's just plain cool.
To mix things up a bit, my knitting has re-started. I was casting about (pun intended) for something new to knit, and voila! I found a pattern I had stored away in my queue on Ravelry (TM). It's a kerchief, and I'm knitting it in denim yarn, which is supposed to shrink 20% lengthwise when you wash it. This fascinates me. I can't wait to see it happen. (As a side note, this choice of yarn is ironic because (a): It's denim, my favorite type of pants [though slacks are starting to compete], and (b): it's dark blue, my semi-favorite color, and I didn't realize all this until after I bought it).
This summer is going to be a busy one, if this week is any indication. This weekend I'll be chaperoning one of my students and her sister at a music competition, and I'm getting paid to do it (I'm a glorified baby-sitter, and I'm liking it!). I'm also going to a party with the guy friend (thanks be to Autumn for the nomenclature). There's my uncle's wedding in Illinois at the end of the month, and I'm also applying to go to a summer music camp in lieu of taking summer classes at our local community college. This will cause me to be in North Carolina for at least four weeks. I'll probably be posting a bit more frequently while I'm there. Add to that my normal stuff: teaching, doing accounts for dad and the school where I teach, taking lessons, playing in band, and we have a very nice recipe for distraction. Me bored is a bad thing; it's much worse and more insidious than me hungry.
Right now, I'm supposed to be doing something for Dad.
Maybe I should go do that now.
