Next Week Will Be Tet Already

And I am not even going to be as ready as I would have been 5 years ago. There is no way I can have the house as clean and neat as I would like it to be unless I take off work and do nothing else but prepare between now and Monday. Yikes. That's not going to happen so we'll do the best we can. Tomorrow is work and then prepare ourselves for bee class Saturday morning. Then maybe a visit to the gym before they close. Saturday evening will be for taking stock of equipment to see what we need to purchase (hopefully not much) and ... hmm ... there was some other big bee biz thing we said we'd do but I can't recall. Oh yes, look at the application for submitting an Adult Continuing Education course with Comal County. We're going to write up something for GBR. This reminds me of the fun days of knitting class with Sary in SA. The teacher was horrid as a teacher but a great knitter. Somehow Sary and I got through it, as everyone else in class, and we went on to teach a LOT of other friends. And out of that, the Knit Night social gatherings were born. Seems like a long time ago right now.

Back to Tet. At least I have door decorations and sweets this year! Hooray for trips to and through Houston. I love that 99 Market - so conveniently located along IH-10. :) Now, gotta get to bed. I need an early start tomorrow. The other job requires some data pulled together for a 2p meeting. I feel like I'm in college a bit. At least I have until 2p to finish my data gathering assignment. Nighty night.

Knitting Friends and Big Kahuna

Well, I wouldn't say "never." Some things I still have to work on in life. Actually, I should say I am typically not these things but of course there are plenty of things for me to work on in myself. And here are two other fortunes I thought fun, funny and appropriate last night. :)



Last night we met friends in San Antonio at the Big Kahuna for dinner, catching up and some crafting. Two of us knitted and one person drew/colored. I haven't seen my SA pals in months and I can't tell yuou how my heart swelled to see them and to give them each a hug. It was so wonderful!

The above yarn was given to me by Mark and I have been wanting to do something special with it and last night, I finally decided. My friend Tu Ann, who cooks at and was an owner of BK, really liked the yarn (50% Merino, 50% silk) so much that I am going to make a special scarf for her. I think I even have a pattern in mind but I need to get it on paper. Nothing fancy. I will snap a shot once I make some progress.
