Holidays?

Seriously? It's almost Thanksgiving already? It's been forever since I updated this poor blog but I've been really busy with life and work is a zoo and will continue that way until probably March of 2010. Thanksgiving weekend will be spent with the parents & dogs in Charlotte. My sister isn't coming out for Thanksgiving this year, so I will have to get up at the crack of dawn to hit the Thanksgiving sales by myself this year. I'll probably do what I did last year and just hit up Target and Books A Million because they're right in the neighborhood. I have not even thought much about Christmas presents yet. I have a dear friend who is practically done Christmas shopping and wrapping the presents and she's started decorating their new house for the holidays already. Lol. I'm not even sure if i want to bother putting up my tree this year since I'll be spending Christmas vacation in Charlotte. Luckily, my sister will be home for Christmas. I will probably drag her to IKEA with me. I have this small book-buying problem and I desperately need to buy another bookcase!
On the yarn front, I'm trying to de-stash some of my orphan skeins of yarn by making scarfs for the Knit Your Bit campaign at the National WW II Museum in New Orleans. I also completed a red scarf for the red scarf project. I have three vet's scraves finished and one that is 1/4 finished. I was even crocheting at G's birthday party last night while we were waiting for everyone to get to her house from Outback.
