The A.M. Shift

I am really trying but failing miserably at being a morning person. This week I've been coming in early to work and leaving the Madison Sq. Garden/warzone-looking area early. It's great for my commute, but without coffee (I try to detox for a week each month, this is day 2) I am not myself! So instead of knitting on the subway to work, which is relatively impossible on a crowded morning train anyway, I just started reading "Knitting Lessons: Tales from the Knitting Path" by Lela Nargi.

It's safe to say I am pretty obsessed with knitting! Oh yeah, I'm starting a group near my home in September. It should be tons of fun. The response I got just from the craigslist posting alone was great, and generated a lot of interest! So my plans after work are as follows: checking out venues to meet other than my local Starbucks; catching the new Mira Nair film "Vanity Fair." I have also been trying to get out to Smileys because the chunky socks that I am making require more than 1 skein of yarn.

I can tell the upcoming weeks are going to be hectic. I am trying to get out of going to Boston for the Labor Day weekend, but I did promise the boyfriend I'd go, and then he'd be here the following weekend. Not that I dont love Boston, but weight-wise I am still paying for the Legal Seafood dinner I had last weekend. I cant resist the Lobster/Crabmeat ravioli!

Gotta hit the gym again soon; I'm using my slight tendonitis as an excuse not to work out, it's quite pathetic!

That is so exciting about the knitting group! I bet you will have a large group! It is so much fun to knit with others. I cannot wait to see pics of your group!

Good luck with the early commute and the detox coffee program! :)
