This morning, I’m off to Dallas for two weeks for work. It’s been a whirlwind of a weekend because I just found out Friday afternoon that I was going and I also had a retreat for a student group Friday afternoon and evening. I spent the weekend getting my ducks in a row by doing a little shopping, getting a haircut, catching up on housework and packing all of my essentials (including plenty of knitting to keep me busy). I will be pretty busy but my hotel promises internet access so I will be posting and blog surfing. I won’t have my camera, though, so please excuse the absence of photos in the coming days.

I did get some knitting done this weekend. I’m now halfway through one Christmas present and 10% finished with another. I tried to start a little pumpkin hat from a Fibertrends pattern, but my gauge was off and I didn’t have the patience to keep working with it. Swatch city here I come! Well, I’m off to watch more football. The husband is playing Fantasy Football and I am the official cheerleader! Oh, I am so happy football season has returned!
