oh yes, let's.

this may be only second time i've knit a sweater in less than a month-so ta-da! now let's enjoy a pomegranate martini shall we?! sweater pattern in vodka lemonade by thea coleman whom i'm officially in love with, and the yarn is submine baby cashmerino (DE-vine!)

may madness

!

i use my outlook calendar to help with meal planning. i list all the after schoo/work activities so we know which days require something quick for dinner or leftovers. also, it lets the family know what's on the menu. keeps them in the know and me organized-gotta love that. this is the first time i actually color coded what's going on, and as you can see ALOT. 4 birthdays, a wedding anniversary, mother's day, 3 social get togethers and 2 trips-both of which i'm really looking forward to. so my goal, which will also include my OLW for the year, will be to focus on these activities and document them along the way. my wine fridge is fully stocked, so i'm totally ready for this

done

my focus goal for April was to do some deep cleaning. this included dusting from crown molding to baseboards, windows, drawers, closets, cabinets etc. i'm happy to say that i got this all accomplished WAY ahead of schedule and i'll get to play this weekend-knitting with mary and karen, and a movie with andrew and hopefully steve. i have finally decided on what to do with my OLW for April, and most likely won't share on the blog since it'll be seriously personal. i am looking forward to what may has to offers and how focus will fit into the things that are planned.
