needles & vectors

I keep thinking the caught-up feeling will come soon. First there was, well, FIRST. Six weeks of always being a bit behind. Then Matt got sick, then I did. This week he was back East for work and I thought, great, I’ll have lots of time to get things done. I can get the spare room closet organized, try out the flat bread recipe Matt has, take photos of my neighborhood, learn to crochet, solve world hunger. What really got accomplished? Half a Dynamics homework assignment, helping Fred keep calm regarding room allocations, rougly a third of a BSJ knit, and figuring out that those Eating Right meals from Vonn’s don’t taste half bad.

Maybe this just isn’t a semester where I’ll ever get caught up. I have three difficult major classes, two organizations which require my attention, and a few hours of work each week. Just enough things on my plate that I can procrastinate. Busier and I’d have to squeeze everything in, less items would lead to things getting done out of boredom. At least I’m not too behind. Or so I think. I grabbed out one of my partly-used notebooks and will work on creating a good ‘ole GTD list.

Never fear, this post isn’t just about my whining a having both too much and not enough to do. Here’s some photos from last weekend. Steph and I went to the release party for Craft Magazine up in Sherman Oaks. Everyone made felt monsters. I forgot just how much fun it is to do “craft” things. You know, the sort of crafts you did when you were little. None of this complicated sewing, knitting, stitching stuff. Just some felt, glue, googly eyes, and imagination. We’ve already got plans to have a felt monster-making party sometime soon.
