Pakucho mucho

My yarn came in and it is lovely, but a big fat pain in the arse to wind into balls! I have a ball winder but no swift and I have not yet figured out a good alternative to a swift (since I don't have one and don't think I'll have to money to buy one any time soon!) So last night I tried to make one hank into a ball and ended up with very happy cats, a very frustrated disposition, and no ball!

I wanted to ball it up so that I could get started on Ginger in class tonight, but that probably won't be happening. I am seeing my first family tonight, it was supposed to happen last week, but they didn't show up, so my anxiety has been postponed to this week. I'll be in the clinic from 4-8 pm so maybe, just maybe, i'll get a little chance to knit :)

Last night was my Oma's 70th Birthday. We celebrated at Red Lobster, at her request, and later had champagne and dessert at home. She is leaving to go back to Germany on Saturday so I was glad to be able to spend a little time with her.

The rest of this week is going to be fairly hectic, I've got beaucoup buckets of homework and reading and an intense desire to be lazy, so we'll see how I work the two out!
Jered and I bought Nike Free shoes last weekend so I have been trying to work out all week, but school is getting in my way. At least I have cool shoes that let my feet mimic nakedness, being barefoot is always a good thing!
