Just call me "Coach"

That's right! I have been asked to be an Assistant Field Hockey Coach at the high school I work at. I'm thrilled to be back on the field with my stick and a group of wonderful girls who seem genuinely interested in learning the sport or improving their skills. I went to a few games last years and the pain I experienced from just watching and not participating was excruciating. But not this year. This year I'm out there teaching, running around and getting burnt to a crisp. I love fall!

Go KNIGHTS!!!!

Just poking my head in...

The last eight weeks have been hell, what with work and school and ending up with a righteous head cold. I've earned a 2 weeks reprieve from school and work should at least be interesting--seeing as my new job is not yet defined. I get to make it up as I go along-teehee!

I received my packages from my wonderful No Sheep Swap Pal who turned out to be none other than Chrissy from Gardiner Yarn Works!! Lucky me! Thank you so much for everything, Chrissy. I do have photographic proof of my goodies, but no way to get the photos from my camera to the lappy. Maybe next week--when I have time to breathe--I'll look for the photo transferring thingy.

Knitting has happened. The Hug-Me-Tight Shrug has been pulled apart, frogged partway, and remade into something that is beautiful and fits me. Now I have lots of leftover alpaca that is in timeout until I want to look at it again.

There are babies aplenty growing in my life and I have one sweater finished and two to go with pretty quick deadlines, plus Christmas knitting to finish. And all I want to do is knit myself a shlumpy weekend sweater in natural gray/brown colors. Don't have yarn or pattern yet, I just want one for fall.

I'll try to be more timely with my posting, but life keeps getting in the way. You know how it is...
