Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I've finally put aside my knitting projects from the holidays with everything I've ever done finished and gifted. All that is left is my regular knitting which for now is surprisingly just my shawl. Since my project list has diminished I opted to try and pick up another project. I've already got my second shawl project set aside in a bag along with the pattern for after I finish my Muir shawl. Nothing against multiple projects but two shawls can be a bit hectic. I sort of like the break in types of knitting so I can bounce around from one lacey-fine project on the long-term to a few shorter projects that offer instant gratification for myself. This actually has brought up the choice of the Marlene socks from the recent winter edition of Knit.1 Magazine.

With that said, I ended up spending this weekend over at the Flat watching movies and overall revelry with the visit from our buddy Pumpkin. This resulted in perhaps one too many glass boots over at the Essenhaus but when a man-friend comes to visit then one must put on our best show for a night out. Sunday ended up being much more laid back with some girl time with my gal Sara over at Borders for coffee and books. We considered doing a girl's night out with the Kara and Sadie when both get back to Madison. This girl's night may involve anything from chocolate to Disney movies to crafting depending on what's on everyone's mind by then. I think it would be pretty neat to do some crafting and movies PLUS chocolate. Sadie does some mild knitting and crochet, Sara does jewelary making, and Kara does what Kara does...making us all smile. Maybe she can cook something! Yum.

My main agenda revolves around this week between writing up a paper for my legal class and getting my portfolio snuffed up for review this week. It's a main hassle to go through my portfolio but at least it helps that a large chunk of the work was done in bits and pieces over the past couple months. In between classes I shelf in anything that I've written or gathered that seemed appropriate into my portfolio ahead of time so I wouldn't have to dig for things later in a rush. With that said, the porfolio, while already bulky as is, could be sifted through again to take out unnecessary articles. I guess for show it looks impressive on the outside but after the past couple classes I've sorta realized some of the older articles have become obsolete or more appropriate to other sections in the portfolio.

In a side note...youtube up Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. I stumbled across him when looking up old tap dancing clips of Shirley Temple. Also, found hilarious youtube clip of Fred Astaire dancing combined with "Smooth Criminal." I adore triple-threats in the entertainment industry and Fred Astaire is my favorite classic triple-threat. Oh, oh, and America's Best Dance Crew starts up this coming Thursday night! I'm so gonna call a night-in for that. It makes me honestly glad that our tabletop game got moved now to Mondays for unrelated reasons now that I know that ABDC is opening up for Thursdays.
