Way too much going on lately! Lots of 50- to 65-hour work weeks due to this being a busy season in my office. So very little time lately for knitting.

I am, however, going to:

• Have a cardiac stress test tomorrow morning (oh joy — if there’s anything I love more than trotting on a treadmill, it’s trotting with electrodes attached while I mentally stress to the max
• Volunteer for an afternoon with Habitat for Humanity on Thursday
• Be the Girl Scout mom going on our troop’s all-night Zoo Snooze on Friday
• Have (yuck) sinus surgery next week

Other news:Had a *great* time on April 25 with other knitters, listening to Yarn Harlot Stephanie Pearl-McPhee read from her book (”At Knit’s End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much”), and then we listened and knit while she fielded questions from a crowd of about 30. Here’s a photo of Stephanie (center, front row, white shirt, luscious green shawl) with me (gigantic red dress, happy smile) and other members of the Memphis Knitting Guild.

If only I had not been such a shiftless ass — in the intervening weeks since the picture was made, I have gradually lost my grip on all the little anecdotes of the evening and just remember a fun time. But our local newspaper did a feature story on this event and (I can’t believe this) took a closeup photo of my hands working with the Nautilus Cap’s green yarn and four DPNs. At least they waited until after I had tinked and reknitted it correctly (AGAIN).

And, of course, I also attended our older daughter’s spring choral event, a dinner theater performance of Broadway hits. My camera failed to work on the close-up shot, darn it, so I’m showing you my blurry distant shot of her onstage. Notice how your eye is mysteriously and unerringly drawn to her beauty and style. I’ll bet you can pick her out of the crowd even if I don’t say what row she is on.

Now that I’m caught up again with my blog (sort of), I’ll start posting again regularly.
