Procrastinating
Yes, I guess I'm procrastinating this morning! I don't really have a lot to talk about here or tell but I'd rather be doing this than what I need to be doing :-).
The house is terrible....cluttered and (for me anyway) dirty, laundry is piled what seems to be a mile high and menus need to be figured out for the next couple of weeks....just not in the mood.
My energy level hasn't been the greatest lately either. Seems like I'll have a few really decent days then a couple where I feel like a mac-truck has run me over. Takes pretty much all I can muster to get up and dressed and it wipes me out just to do that. Started taking mega-vitamins thinking that might help but if it has it's not much.
The fam finally convinced me to go get checked out so hopefully we can figure out what is going on. I really hate it when my mind is full of things I want to do and the bod won't cooperate!
On the knitting end of things I finished the Eagle's Flight socks. They are so bright and cheery...fun to wear! Still working on the Vinca basic socks...those will probably take a while....they are pretty much my "car project". The bag stays in the car for times when I get caught waiting somewhere. I'm also still plugging along on the Mogul Scarf for DH. That has to be the most boring thing I've ever done! I just couldn't stand it for another minute yesterday so I cast these on for a break. I couldn't believe how fast they worked up! They will definately be put on the list for any last minute baby gift needs that pop up....and they were fun to do!
I did them out of some Lion Brand Microspun that I had lying around (found 10 skeins of it at a garage sale for a whole $1 a while back). We have a new grand daughter due in May so these will go to her.
I also cast on the Lace Cable Tee out of Jeannee. I have to say that I am so pleasantly surprised at this yarn! I'll be the first to admit that I am a major yarn snob.....MAJOR yarn snob. I had pretty much ignored this yarn since I first saw it....I mean it is so economical how could it be "nice" yarn? Then I saw the sample of the top at the store out of it and decided to get some. Well.....I confess I was wrong....I really like working with it and I really like the fabric it is making!!! Anyway....I've already picked out another project to do from it and plan to get some more next time I'm at the store!
I'm usually pretty content to have only 2 or 3 wip's at any given time and normally am pretty good about finishing at least one of those before casting on something new, but for some reason I have about 4 or 5 things bouncing around in my head that I want to start....NOW! LOL....the problem is deciding which ones to start first....then mentally arguing with myself about working on something already going. Such a problem, huh?....but I love those kinds of problems....it just confirms that Life is Good!
Uh, oh.....I just got a call and I am watching Clayton and Carter for a while this afternoon.....no more procrastinating on getting the house more presentable...guess I had better get to it.

I am afflicted with startitis. I get so excited about the new project and think oh I'll zoom right through this...and next thing you know another project is nipping at my heels. Sigh! Btw, Webs is having a nice anniversary sale.....my lips are sealed. :-)

Yep. Spring is for startitis.
As is summer.
Fall.
Winter.
Never mind...
