What an awesome weekend... and it's only half over!!!

So I haven't written in a LONG time.... and I haven't made much progress on my knitting in a LONG time... Oh well, I will get back to it this week. I decided against doing the Rowan poncho... and instead I want to make one of those shrug/cardigan things. I can't find a pattern for one, but I did see a picture of Jude Law's fiancee in People magazine who was wearing one that I would love to make... I'll have to post a pic of it later on, and maybe someone has a pattern suggestion??? As for non-knitting news.... It's been a crazy, fun-filled few weeks. Well, last week was insane with school stuff, and then this past week I've been working at the Learning Center. It's fun to go back to work for a change, but I really do enjoy school better than work! And the second half of this week has been as series of birthday celebrations and St. Patty's day celebrations that seem to never end. Dave came up on Thursday night for St. Patty's Day and we went out in Faneuil Hall with a bunch of our college friends from UConn - so much fun! Then the birthday celebration began at midnight! Somehow I made it through work the next day (quite hung-over, though). There was more birthday celebrating last night - we went out to The Liquor Store with a bunch of my grad school friends. And yes, I rode the mechanical bull!!! Now I'm back at home for a traditional Irish dinner of corned beef and cabbage with the fam.... and then I'm back to Boston tomorrow for the Parade in Southie. Whew - what a weekend! As soon I get some pics, I'll post a few.
