Will there ever be pictures in this blog?

Hopefully - but honestly I don't have much to show right now. I spent the weekend NOT AT WORK, say it again NOT AT WORK! How exciting is that! I am really trying to get back into being a part time person. Annual review time is coming up and I am not expecting it to be pretty - I worked well over a full time persons schedule this year and I really do not want to be slotted as full time. While there are benefits to being full time (you get to maybe take an extra two weeks off with your overtime), the thought of HAVING to have 40 hours a week makes me gag. Even though I had 54 hours/week in May, I hate the thought of HAVING to be here 40 hours. It sounds stupid, I know.

I spent a good piece of yesterday cleaning up my stash area. I found things I had forgotten I had, and many things that I doubt I will ever use. Expect a "destash" in the future. Things had just gotten overwhelming in my bedroom. I had yarn, clothing and books that I had forgotten that I bought earlier in the year. I still need to sort out patterns and things, and I found a half completed pair of clogs to finish. The next step is to actually list out what yarn I have. What projects I have in mind. You know, get myself really organized. That task may have to wait until an actual vacation day.

Very little actual knitting was accomplished this weekend. I did my last few rows of my class afghan, but that was it.

Oh, and I did tear out a picovoli I had started last summer. This was when I was trying to work from the actual typed pattern. Uh uh. Doesn't work for me. I need to type it out row by row. Remember, I am an accountant. Therefore, there were booboos and even though you couldn't really SEE them, I knew they were there. I only had about 3 inches done, so no great loss. The other issue I had with this particular project was that I had chosen Knitpicks Shine in Apple. Love the color. Absolutely love it. Unfortunately I have 3 other tanks in that same color. Time to do something a little different, eh?

I am in need of a new camera. Once I have that, perhaps I will have more to show! I need something small, easy, sexy and did I say, EASY? I am going to try to sell the old camera on ebay. Right now the reason it is non-functional is because the rechargeable batteries have died. It is just big and butt-ugly and BIG. I need smaller.
