Only 3 days until Italy! how can that even be??? Okay, so I looked at the list and I am making serious progress on the skirt (now several inches long but all stockinette). The socks are finished and blocked - just have to weave in the ends. Business trip is finished and successful. And I got out my holiday cards!!!! Woohoo!!! I didn't think that would be possible. So today, I have several errands to run for Alex and Frances that have added to my list considerably. I have new running gear that I hope will rinse and dry easily since I won't be able to wash it every day while I am gone. I have, of course, added and subtracted things from the original list several times. Sigh.

New list (good for the soul, I am sure):

1. Finish skirt (hahahahahaha - what am I thinking)
2. Figure out what to pack (warmer than originally thought for Amalfi coast - in the 50's)
3. Mail stuff to China
4. Figure out what to pack (again)
5. Plan knitting for next TWO WEEKS - not that long, don't get carried away!
6. Figure out what to pack (because I know I didn't get it right and there is always Chicago)
7. Get beads???
8. Put Alex's money in the bank.
9. Figure out what to pack (shoes????)
10. Finish skirt (please?)

It is time to start thinking about what to pack for Italy. I cannot believe that I am back from Spain and made it through the holidays all the way to the Italy trip. I haven't accomplished a tenth of what I had planned but then I tend to grossly over plan. I have been running pretty regularly - and working very regularly - and knitting pretty regularly. Weaving too but not as much. Greats heaps of projects made it through the door and into other people's homes. Scarves, dishtowels, gloves, socks, and a sweater. All of it knit or woven in the last month and a half. So I suppose that explains not spending too much time writing or knitting projects for me. I still have one pair of socks for a friend to complete. That HAS to happen this weekend along with the following:

1. Christmas, oops New Years, oops MLK, Valentine's Day cards

2. skirt for me on needles - just organized to finish - insane to think I will even make progress

3. scarf on rigid heddle loom

4. warp the floor loom for placemats?

5. socks for Tom off needles and wrapped

6. pack for business trip

7. figure out what to pack for Italy trip.

Sigh. Oh and run 15 or so miles because I won't be running as much for the next three weeks with all the travel.

Total insanity?
