Wow. This is a busy week for me. Gary is in town so I saw him Monday evening. Yesterday was a monthly Girls' Dinner that I just started attending. Tonight is my friend Angela's bday dinner. Tomorrow it is a belated christmas dinner with a couple friends... we haven't decided on a resturant yet. Friday is dinner at IHOC (International House of Cow or Outback for the uninitiated) with Gary and a few other friends. Saturday I take him to the airport and stop to see my folks. Sunday I crash. Michigan weather is really starting to frustrate me. A couple days ago it was snowing like crazy and today it is raining like it is Spring. Friday it will be back down to 18 degrees. I just hope it doesn't make me sick... I have to be healthy for them to operate. I wish I had more to tell you... I am just putzing around the house. I am painting canvas to help unite my hand me down furniture. It is fun and relaxing. They are abstract, but work with what I have. And Michael's had their canvas on sale last week... I couldn't resist. I managed to stay away from the yarn.... but only at Michael's not at Busy Hands. Well, time to get to work, but I wanted to say hi and let you know I as still here. Take care, k |

Another day of snow and rough driving. It took over an hour to get in. This is the part of Winter that I really don't like. I would have like to stay home watching a movie and knitting. Maybe baking some cookies. Yum. I didn't really make any resolutions for the new year. I find I don't keep them and I am disappointed in myself when I don't. As an alternative I usually say I want to be happier, enjoy life more and be more willing to try new things. It seems to be working since each year has been better than the last. I am slowly pulling myself out of debt which makes me feel wonderful. I enjoy my job and love my friends and family. The only thing I could say I would like to change is that I would like to be in a relationship. But even that isn't required. I enjoy being single and I am happy with the life I have built for myself. I have some friends that look at me with pity in their eyes when we talk about the fact that I am not dating anyone at the moment. That makes me furious. It as if they don't think I am a whole person without a partner. To them they are incomplete without somoene, to me it would just be the icing. Better to be single than with the wrong person.

Well, it has been an eventful day and it is still pretty early. I had my pre surgery consultation and physical today. I got my little what to do before and after surgery booklet. I am getting so excited. People keep asking if I am nervous, but I don't think that will hit until the night before the surgery. I also believe that my mom worries enough for both of us. My doctor has more of a sense of humor than I originally thought. My mom is flying in on Jan 22nd... and my surgery is Jan 24th. I have to call the Friday before to get the actual time. I hope sooner rather than later. I am really antsy today, it is a bit frightening. On some not so happy news I will no longer be on the schedule at the bookstore. They are cutting back on hours and people working. I am only there once every couple weeks and I think Steve would have tried to keep me on, but the bookstore is not essential to my financial well being. I feel bad for Steve and Shelley because they deserve to have an easier time of it. The are the most amazing bosses I have ever worked for. I told them if they needed someone to fill in once in awhile to give me a call. I guess I am going to have to start up making jewelry again... though in moderation. (I don't want to hurt my hands again.) So, if you know anyone in the Ann Arbor area send them to Afterwords.... a very cool bookstore and inexpensive to boot. More later k |

Hello all. It has been almost 2 weeks since I have visited tblog. I hope you all had a wonderful christmas/new year's/whatever you celebrate. Mine was nice and relaxing. I spent almost no time near a computer which was probably the best gift I could give myself. ~It was strange to check the news today and see that the death toll in East Asia is close to 150,000 when the last time I looked at the news it was at about 44,000. I can't even imagine that many people dying. The closest I can think to represent this number is Michigan Stadium, which seats 107,501 and is crammed full on game days adding about half that number on top of it. Pretty frightening. ~On a sort of related note I recommend Simon Whinchester's "Krakatoa" which is about the volcanic erruption and the tsunamis that followed. Amazing read. ~I am still knitting up a storm. I have made about 12 scarves so far... only 2 for myself. I have yarn for several more projects. I took some pictures, so hopefully I will have something to share soon. ~Tomorrow I have my pre surgery consultation for my surgery. I am very excited. 3 weeks to go. ~I spent a good chunk of my break getting ready for my mom to visit. I have weeded out books, thrown away things I haven't touched in years, hung some paintings and much more. I am actually feeling good about the place now. Like I don't have to hide my bedroom from anyone. :) Well, lots piled up while I was gone, but I wanted to say hi and Happy New Year. More later... k |
