So I might have over estimated my knitting ability. See, I just took out the Gift Knitting Calendar I made way back in October (see I had good intentions) and I am very very very behind. Oops.
Why? Because I didn't stick to the schedule. I got ahead of schedule in early November and stopped pulling it out every couple of days - bad me. And then there was the incident with the knitted item for the hand that I've already talked about. Yeah, I just can't seem to make myself knit that particular item.
The week of Thanksgiving didn't help either. Knitting time was limited (happily so) due to the kiddos, and the fact that recipients were present most of the time. And I just haven't gotten back on track with my knitting. Very bad me.
It would also help if I would stop adding things to my list. Or decide on what a recipient is going to get so that I could just knit the thing. I don't think that my lack of Christmas spirit is helping me either.
All of this stops today. I have revised the knitting calendar. And I will be sticking to it - no matter what (who needs sleep anyway?). No more excuses. There will be much knitting in the 15 days remaining until Christmas. Much knitting.
Holy crap! Do you believe that there's only 15 days until Christmas? Where is the time going? Guess that means I need to get to shopping for everyone that I'm not knitting for. Yeah, sleep is definitely overrated.
PS - On a happier note - my couple won the Amazing RAce! Which means that I've got 10 presents of fibery goodness (or gift cards to fibery stores) arriving soon! I'm sure that I'll post the haul when it's all received. Yay! I love the Amazing Race!

Oh--I would much rather be at the ocean too. I didn't get everything knitted for Christmas that I wanted to--but I am not knitting anymore gifts. I am going to start knitting for me. Hope to see ya at KotS
The new holiday background is MUCH better than your first foray into the Christmas spirit.
I will miss TAR. I think that the best team won, I am just disappointed that Dallas lost all their stuff in the semis and that the frat boys were allowed to hang around until the finals. I am convinced that they are the worst team to ever complete the race in 12 seasons. Each week, another team had to make a ridiculous error to keep them around. I am glad that you won your stuff, though.
