So it's August now.

I feel like the summer is just flying by, and I don't know where the time is going. I've hardly knitted at all, and I rarely feel like cooking or doing much when I get home from work. Granted I'm really busy at work, and not getting home until 6pm makes the night come a lot faster, but still. My sweater is currently on hold while I made 2 knitted green anemones as birthday gifts for my coworkers (I'll work on it at craft night this Thursday). They apparently felt bad that they are never around for my birthday, so we are holding an un-birthday Wonderland mad-tea-party in a couple weeks. That should be really cool, and it gives me another reason to wear my Alice costume. R is hoping he'll be called out on fire to escape, the party pooper.

I just hope he doesn't get called out on fire before the 23rd. Eli is coming to visit next week, which was kind of unexpected but very welcome. I wish people would come visit more often! He's going to come distract me while I work at the seafood festival this weekend, I hope. Then we're all going to the redwoods for camping. Our "Home Improvement with Eli" Project this summer is going to be a cement brick pathway around the garage.

I've been doing some research on traveling (as usual), this time it's a girls' trip! V suggested that all our high school friends get together for a fun grilfriend vacation in 2009, since we're turning 30. Best idea ever, is what I have to say. Now we have to find a place we can afford! Everyone wants to go somewhere beachy, we're thinking Puerto Rico or Hawaii or something like that. I'm currently reading Tales of a Female Nomad, a very good book, similar to Eat, Pray, Love. Travel is so great, and I hope some day I can experience another culture for a longer term, like these women did. But for now, I'm happy with short visits to new places, and am extremely excited about the idea of finally going with friends!
