In other news......
I have been inspired by randomroxann and her old timey needlepoint attempt and have decided to learn the art of crochet. I have purchased all the accoutrement, including a book about crochet called (wait for it......) Stitch 'N Bitch Crochet: The Happy Hooker. How perfect is that? I have managed to perfect a slip knot and a simple chain stitch (um, O.K. so maybe I don't get the correct tension on every link....) and have taken aim at learning the single stitch. The single stitch is the base for every single crochet project and it is currently kicking my ass.
I have been placed on the waiting list for the Read to Succeed tutor program. Sad face. I can't start it until September when there is no possible way I can do it because my Fall classes will be in session. I have been contemplating trying to train on Saturdays in the Fall but really, how much can one Amanda do?
The yearly event that causes as much tension and worry as it does joy and fun has arrived. Well, 1/3 of it has. And that 1/3 is freaking HUGE.
Funniest thing I've read lately? " So you all can go to Hell, have fun there together! " (That was really the perfect line for your blog J. I am going to try and work that phrase into a conversation today. Loved it!)
Remember: I'm the dude playin' the dude, disguised as another dude!
