Dare we hope?

It feels like spring.  It smells like spring.  And the sogginess of my lawn would mean it looks like spring.

Dare I be hopeful?

It’s amazing what the time change last weekend has done for my spirits.  Just getting daylight until 7:00 pm has been amazing.

Let’s all keep our fingers crossed that SPRING is really here.

Our trip to Columbia was very nice.  I wanted to try something different this year – more relaxing.  I was so exhausted from all the night shifts for the entire month of February that I felt I really needed a lot of mellowness.  So, I only booked two excursions – both only half-day.  The first was to visit the old Cartagena and the second was to have a mud bath in the mouth of a volcano.  Both very fun half-day-trips.  Then Jacob and I each read two books and were bored stiff by Saturday.

I have to admit that I did barely any knitting on this trip.  I got caught up in my books the first couple of days and then I just wasn’t motivated to knit.

Now I’m home and I want to knit everything!  As well as my brain can function right now after 4 hours of sleep, I don’t have anything to knit for anyone else anymore.  As soon as I finish re-knitting little Zaden’s socks, I’m done knitting for other people.  I’m giddy.  I also have that deer-in-the-headlights feeling.  What will I do?  OMG!  There are just so many possibilities!!!

My friend Cass just made a blanket of granny squares with all her leftover yarns.  I also have a few mitered squares made of sock wool that I could continue.  I want a blanket of only sock yarn mitered squares.  I think it might take me forever but… it’ll be gorgeous when it’s finished.

Well, today’s a spin day.  I only slept 4 hours so I could go.  So, I should get a move-on.

Oh, I have an appointment for a new tattoo tomorrow.  I’m really excited!

Here are a few pics of the trip:
