Staycation.

First of all, an apology for my brief absence. How dare I disappoint my loyal readers by not posting for EIGHT days. (This is humorous, see, because the only people that read this are Mom, Em, and Linds, and I have communicated with them all several times over the course of those eight days).

Today marks the first day of my staycation. Technically, I'm on vacation from work, but I'm not going anywhere. I mean, I live at the beach! I am happy to have some time to enjoy myself in my favorite place -- HOME. Also exciting is the fact that I'll save about 150 bucks this week NOT driving to work. I do want to make sure I take advantage of this rare time away from the grind, however, so here are a few goals:

1. Finish and block Colts intarsia square (this is v. close to being done, but I am terrified I made the floats too tight and the pattern will be puckered. Fear of failure has prohibited me from finishing this project so far).
2. Go to the beach at least 4 separate days (darken skin by minimum of 3 shades).
3. Think about current job zero times.
4. Search for better job with nice, normal, non-bipolar boss who understands how lovely I am (or at least update my monster.com resume).
5. Blog bi-daily.
6. Knit a minimum of 16 rows (arbitrarily decided, 10 too few, 20 too many, has to be an even number) per day on Anakin's blankie.
7. Deep clean house and truck.
8. Clear DVR to at least 50% capacity (currently is 72% full).
9. Research travel options for DLO September reunion.

There are a few others, as well, but these are the important ones. I need to concentrate on knitting and absorption of UV rays to get myself back to... well, myself! De-funkified.

More updates v. soon!
