yarn goodies

Today when I got home I had so many goodies waiting for me!

Blue yarn from Hermoninny:



And then a neighbor knocked on the door--they got a package for me--bronze metallic yarn from Bobbilicious:


And goodies!!


How fun! Now I can start knitting the muff for my team...

my life right now

My focus is very limited this week. As the days go by, the focus becomes narrower and narrower. My mind hones in one one target: event.

Here's what I'm running tomorrow: Gospel, Church and Culture Workshop. It's going to be super-challenging, as usual for my boss and his partner in crime colleague.

My brain is a hurricane of details, but it's only an F1. Maybe just a tropical storm. It's not as complex as a full-blown conference: no registration, no food and coffee, no breakout sessions, no guest speakers. Very simple really, and I'll have my lovely crew of interns to help with setup and logistics all morning! All I need to do now is to triple-check my materials list and remember to set the alarm!
