Email Broken Can't Work

today, our email at work was broken, which meant that for 5 hours i couldn't really do any work.  or not much anyway.  i did what i could, then just sat there.  waiting. 

i thought about writing a post.  it would have been a good time to do that, but i didn't have one in me.  i don't really have one in me now either.  but if i don't write, then i'll just have more to write later with even less inclination to do so.

i know in a previous post i was all cryptic and everything, but i didn't mean to be.  i just wasn't ready to put it in writing until i had actually done it. so i did it.  after work, i went to the local community college and signed up to retake general biology to help me study for the MTEL subject test which i plan on taking probably next spring (along with some education classes), you know, because i'm just insane enough to want to teach highschool biology some day.  (twenty years ago i graduated with a B.S. in biology, but that was a long time ago. so i need a little refresher)  i'm taking the communications and literacy skills test in october.  THE WEEKEND AFTER RHINEBECK!!! Midterms also happen to be the week after Rhinebeck so i'll be studying probably while everyone else is having fun.  *sigh*  after getting my master's degree, i really thought i'd never have to do this again.  i'm really nervous and scared.  not so much about the classes or the tests but about jumping into something kind of blindly. 

anyway.  so that was boring.  now you know what i'm planning.

other than that, what have i been doing?

making the feather and fan baby bonnet for my little niece in  honor of her christening. 

no, she's not amish.

and i've been crocheting squares for the larger than life bag from interweave crochet spring 2007.

i'm making my version with patons merino.

i'm a little further along than these photos might indicate but the challenge for me will be the lining.  you know, because i'm going to have to sew.

ok all of this talk about my future has me a little twitchy.  i'm going to bed. 

here's to email working tomorrow.
