And I'm off (I'm off, I'm off)! To see the Wizard (To see the Wizard).

I love it when my head decides to make up music; it makes life much more fun. In twelve hours or so, I shall be at the airport, probably waiting in line at security or some such nonsense. I'm almost completely packed, meaning, all the really essential stuff is there and all the mostly unessential stuff is there, and now I have to find the somewhat important stuff and find a way to cram it in my already full suitcase. I have deliberately over-packed clothes-wise, because I felt so deprived in Vienna. It will not happen again! Most of it is really cute.

I managed to surprise myself. Without buying any new black clothes, I have four completely black ensembles that are reasonably fashionable (and three more that aren't, but I'm not bringing those). This leaves me slightly stunned. I knew I've been in an orchestra since I was ten, but I've only started doing the fashionable thing in the past three years. This makes me feel that I'm going to be very well dressed in a few years.

Knitting news! I have officially finished the kerchief of doom. I even uploaded pictures (I finally found my cable), but they are not on Flickr yet. I haven't edited them to look pretty because I got distracted by organizing all my photos. Soon, my pretties. Soon.
I think my next project will be...I can't decide, dang it. Either the baby thing or a pineapple doily for which I got this lovely bamboo crochet thread (soft...yum). The pineapple doily is probably more portable, which is important because I'll be traveling across the country for four hours, and it isn't fun to haul around a big project. Still, I'm totally bringing the baby thing's yarn, pattern, and needles with me (I may be horribly over-estimating my free time, but the projects I fill it with will be good stuff). Did I tell y'all (this particular use of the apostrophe comes from LiveJournal, which hates its own name) that I got yarn for the baby thing? I got yarn for the baby thing! It's wonderful soft cotton, but in two colors because I couldn't find enough in the color I originally wanted.

Now, I just have to practice violin, decide whether to bring any quartet or trio music, get a project going (I hate starting things mid-flight), and make sure I'm not leaving important stuff behind. Oh, and eat. 

Send prayers for a good flight (and no lost luggage, my life is in that suitcase).
