I'm still here!

I am buried beneath work and volunteer projects - but I am still alive! Sometimes I am not even sure what day it is.

Here is a quick run down. After this I am going to make more of an effort to get back on a regular posting schedule.

Hurricanes: I had to stop watching the news, I was crying way too much. The dogs, the babies, it was just too much for me to take. And now T.S. Ophelia is hanging out off of our coast and the forecasters have no idea where it is going. It has been stationary for a while now just building up strength. The good thing about Ophelia - it has made it slightly cooler here. For now - I am just going to pretend it does not exist.

Home: Umm, not home much. Mark is in Canada and the dogs are not speaking to me, they think I spend entirely too much time away from home. We ran out of dog cookies two days ago and I am afraid if I do not come home with more today the dogs may start eating me. My friend Molly has spent the last few nights with me because I live closer to work and gas is so expensive.

Work: Busy, busy. I think that may all I can say about it on blog without being fired. Ha.

Volunteer: I have so many projects going on right now. Antique Faire this Saturday, fundraiser for November, kumquat Festival in January, Chamber Mixer in December, Motorcycle Festival in February, and there is more but it escapes my mind at the moment. And some of this stuff seems far off, but the planning of these events takes forever. Basically you start planning for next years event the day after this years event takes place. It is a never ending planning session.

Knitting: Sadly my knitting is being neglected at the moment. This saddens me because I was so excited about finally learning the knit stitch. I wonder if it would be rude to knit while sitting in some of these planning sessions?
