My new favorite way to procrastinate is Ravelry. The knitting thing is making me think about returning to crochet, and the possibilities on ravelry are (seemingly) endless.

I mean, really, how cute is this baby afghan?


Of course, I'm knee-deep (ok, ankle-deep) into a blanket for Idara, who's due next month. Here's the pattern, although I'm making it in yellow.
Simple, but a good way to get back into knitting.

But back to Ravelry:
One of the coolest things is that there are affinity groups, which is fun. I've reconnected with many women I went to college with.
AND there's a Hello Kitty group. Woo-hoo! Just think, I could make this:

Go, Carla!

Carla Richardson and I were roommates our first year in college. Now she's family physician Dr. Carla Lambert and today is the grand opening of her private practice, Truly Blessed Health and Wellness Center in Beltsville, Maryland.

Congratulations,
Dr. Lambert!

Have you ever been a part of something small you were quite proud of? So small that it won't change most lives around you, but still big enough that you think "Woo Hoo!"

I think that about having helped get an amazing group of my college classmates to want to be class officers for the next 5 years. We will celebrate our 20th anniversary in May and these women will usher us to our 25th reunion. A small thing in the big scheme of things but honestly, these are amazing women!

I'm soooo excited.

We went to Mount Holyoke, incidentally-
