Raisinpie

Not much happening hear in the prairies. Today is a day dedicated to errands. Currently I am washing dishes with long computer breaks.

This is a picture of the poinsetta I have in my office at work. I saved this poinsetta from the garbage (2007 Christmas) originally it bloomed red but right now it’s blooming pink. Please don’t ask me how I got it to bloom in March/April but I did. I have been gifted with a green thumb…thank you Grandma and Great Grandpa Upton. The gardener lives on….

I am still knitting the branching out lace scarf and will start another Tudora for my good friend G. who is heading to the UK next month. I chose a beautiful purple acrylic (as she is allergic to wool) I am also going to make myself one in bright red! Mine is a wool blend from Lion’s Wool.

I am also eagerly awaiting the Sock Summit in Portland Oregon this summer. I am sending myself on this trip as a present to myself for turning ….. older.  I am really looking forward to visiting a new city and exploring. But first I must get my passport in order.

Have a wonderful Saturday afternoon.

Work has been a bit busy of late. There was the annual conference in Calgary and now there is conference wrap up. The week after the conference I was in a bellydance performance http://www.isisdance.com/Upcoming.htm so it’s been one thing right after the other lately for me. I’m exhausted. Last weekend was the long weekend for my office so I am took advantage and visited my parents and my Grandma. This weekend is back to house cleaning, renovating duties again. If possible I would like to have all the inside stuff done once ’summer’ rolls around so I may spend time out of doors in my garden.
