Where has the time gone???

Well, it seems that I'm behind on sewing...my plan to be done with my dress by Thursday night is looking...optimistic. Now, if I had not gone to scribble on monday I might have gotten things further done but eh, we had stuff to work out to deliver to the crown for upcoming events (including a scroll I had that I finished that night) so I can't say I wasted time. But I have an engagement on Thursday night that I need to go to and well, I'm not sure how late I want to stay up. It will all depend on if we can get Benton down for the night and snug him in the car seat before we leave the house so he will sleep through our engagement and then come home and go to bed. So, I've decided that when the time gets crunched...the To Do list appears.

Our plan is to leave early Friday AM so we can tool around Prescott and hit up some antique stores and a yarn shop. I want it to be nice and stress free and if I finish sewing things on the way up there, so be it. We are staying at the Holiday Inn Express (I get a good rate due to my Gold Status) so we know we will be comfortable and have breakfast there.

Just need to get things ready and hopefully tonight I can knock out the dress stuff better and feel okay about running errands with the boy when I pick him up thursday later afternoon before we head home for things course...Prescott has a costco....hmmmmm. That might work.

This morning Benton had very gummy eyes and a snotty nose. Both of which he didn't like me cleaning out but he was a much happier camper that he could breath/eat without a nose full. Not sure what that means but it could just be that he got the tail end of my cold or teething is making him snotty. Babies leak and there is nothing much you can do about it.

Oh, on the book front I read #14 Every Women's Guide to Cycling.... It was okay. I think it glossed over things that I really wanted to know about i.e. bike stuff and then it went overly much into training schedules which I was kinda meh on. But I guess I got what I paid for.

I'm now reading #15 for the year Raven's Strike by Patricia Briggs. Its sucking me in and a fun romp.



To Do for Crown:
1) Hem dress (50%)
2) Attach front straps
3) Attach back straps
4) Attach trim
5) Pack Benton stuff for trip
6) Have Ed bring Pack and Play to Thursday night
7) Get luncheon stuff organized: Chx, cheese and bread
8) Make some banana bread
9) Pack Banners
10) Find shawl/shawl pin
11) pack chairs and small table/stools
12) Pack cooler: ice, drinks, 4 gallons of water.
13) Pack serving ware for chix, cutting board/bread knife.
14) Go to costco for stuff.
15) Go to Target for diapers
16) Attempt to not stay up too late to accomplish any of this...yeah, right.

THAT is an incredibly personal adjustment. i know some people who are teh exact same measurements i am whose hand bar adj drives me nuts (and vice versa)
a great deal of that depends on whether you bike bent down, or sitting up right, and to what degree.... the racing folks usually are bent over and their hand bar grips are far too low for me.
