getting away! Boulder and CA...
Life is always hectic, but has been super busy on all fronts the past few weeks! At home, we're getting ready to paint our bedroom after all that patching. Work entails deadlines on a crazy number of projects, plus I'll be out of town all next week for a design review. And Woolarina.. well, that involves some pretty intense party planning (and dyeing and skeining and spinning!)
But yeah, next week I will be in Boulder, CO again! I hope to not get a crazy cold like I did last time! (I was so ill I totally couldn't drive home from the airport!) It is a fun town, so I am excited. (not so much to be sitting in meetings all day, but... what can you do?) There are some yarn shops on the radar, but seeing as how I've been cleaning house lately, I am hesitant to go and get tempted! I have a lot to use before MDSW still... but I will be enjoying the food and beer and the funky little shops on Pearl Street!
Next up after that is the west coast again, though not for a few months. My husband has a conference in San Jose, so I am flying out. We can:
a) go North, see northern CA and Oregon, meet an internet pal, see old friends + new babies, and see old friends + kids, and maybe more friends. Vineyards likely. Beer for sure.
b) go South, see the prettiness that is Santa Barbara/etc., Irvine, LA. See several old friends. Vineyards for sure.
c) Stay in San Francisco for a few days. Vineyards definitely.
Any of the three would be fun. I haven't been to LA, but no great desire (aside from seeing friends). We haven't been to OR outside of Portland and that vicinity, so would be neat I imagine. San Fran is always good, but we've been. Quandaries!
