Crazy Week, Lazy Day

Hello my dear readers.

This week has been chaos.  Complete chaos.  But good chaos.

My mom's brother, who I am basically meeting for the first time in my life, and his daughter (who came out to visit last summer - we adore her to pieces), and his daughter's boyfriend came to visit this week.  It's been a lot of busy, a lot of catching up, a lot of laughter, a lot of neurotic behavior.  So awesome.

And so exhausting.

Boyfriend comes home tomorrow night, late.  He is ready to be home.  I am ready for him to be home.  There's nothing like being apart for over a month to make you realize how much you truly care about them.  And to remind you that you can make time for yourself and it doesn't make you a crappy partner.  So the distance has been good. 

But it's going to be great to have him home tomorrow.

Saturday is when our company leaves and when sis and I do the 5K.  I am...nervous?  I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be able to run it.  I've missed a lot of training due to illness and chaos.  But I should be able to walk it at least.

School for all of us starts on Monday.  I am so ready.  I am craving school for some reason.  It's going to be a very busy semester, but it's going to be so good.  Bring it on, school, bring it on.

Today is like an island in the chaos.  Visitors are camping in the mountains today and tomorrow.  Everything is basically caught up here on the home range.  It's about to rain.  I'm so used to being busy that I can't sit still.  I think I want to knit, but none of my projects are calling me....

Maybe I'll go for a walk.

I Have Pictures!

Finally.

Am I right, or am I right, my dear readers?

So, what have I been doing the past three or more weeks? 

Let's take a peek!


Remember that fun fleece I got from my friend?  Here it is, all spun and knitted!


I love this rinse.



It's a neck warmer.  I just need to add some buttons....

My friend Amy and I went out to celebrate my birthday.

Me and my man for my birthday. :)
 
Birthday yarn from Boyfriend.  It's Madelinetosh merino.  I am so in love with it. :D

My Owlie socks I made a while ago.

I love how cute the owls are. :3


Baby alpaca, knit into oriel lace.

Look at how delicate it is!

And this is my current project.
 
And that sums it up. 

Boyfriend will be home soon.
5k is soon.
Family in from out of town soon.
And school.

Which is another story, about financial aide and making a Meaghan mad.

Until the next post, my readers.
