Okay, had to get that out of the way first. I have mixed emotions about the summer almost being here. As you may/may not know, the Rochester City School District is planning on laying off 200+ teachers and I am not sure if I am in the mix yet or not, will know in the next few weeks. That being said, I am looking forward to the road ahead, even if I can't exactly tell yet where it's leading me.
Things that I hope to accomplish this summer:
- Get a tattoo (so excited! 6/19/09)
- Celebrate lots of positives like birthdays, graduations, weddings, babies (come to think of it all in the next month!)
- Write my how-to-dye manual
- Study in Canada
- Love and be loved
- Catch up with friends and to-do lists
- Enjoy the warmth and no snow!
- Lose 10-15 more lbs and keep it off for the year ;)
- other things that I know are on my mind I just can't yet think of them...
The dwarven battle bonnet has been knitted (the helmet part) and I am going to spin the white wool to dye soon, pictures to follow.
