I'm getting married today. I'm posting this from Kinko's, where I'm engaging in some last-minute bride stuff.
In case I don't get to do this today, I want to make a toast to my husband.
"A Drinking Song"
W. B. Yeats
Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you and sigh.
If anyone is still reading, I am still alive. Steve and I just got through a lovely weekend of parties/showers and we're feeling all the love of so many wonderful friends and family members!
In 2 days I'm headed home for my last few days of singlehood. The wedding is May 10, final grades for UGA are due May 13, and I've got to have my apartment all packed up for a move on May 29. A week or so later, we're off to Jackson, MS. A lot to do in very little time.
So my life consists of:
paper grading
favor making
dishcloth knitting (only thing I can manage now!)
home & office packing
and any other bits of planning/doing associated with finishing up and moving on. I'll try to pop back in again soon with some pictures!
I can't leave this blog for so long. I just pruned approx. 700 spam comments from what appears to be a 3 day period. I guess there was some sort of spam holiday this past weekend...
Life is busy, too busy. Grading/teaching, wedding, moving, knitting--to much of some ings and not enough of the rest kind...Off to bed!
A new one to celebrate:
Happy Discardia!
Aside from the massive stash purge I'm planning, I have to figure out what to do about my UFO collection. I'm thinking I'll set myself to finishing any project that's 40% done. Imagine going into a new home, new marriage, new job without the baggage of unfinished knitting projects. Why 40%? Anything that's not that far along isn't something I'm that committed to as a project, that's why. Those started but not at that stage will be sent to the frog pond and, perhaps, the stash purge pile.
That means I need to complete:
My Vest-Turned-Cardigan
My Aqua Velvet Socks
My Hanne Falkenberg
Emily's Warming Truly Tasha Shawl
The Moderne Blanket
The Stripeosaurus
Ruth's Baby Bunting
You know, when I started to write this list, I thought it would be pretty long, but I'm feeling like I can actually finish all of these items by the end of May. No promises--I'm working on only promising what I know I can deliver. Still, this looks manageable.
