Long overdue update

Yet again I've had a ridiculously long absence from the blog.  [Insert excuse here.]  I'm seriously considering just giving up the blog and going all-Ravelry, but I think I just need to blog on a more regular basis about stuff other than knitting, and I'll enjoy it more.  

Anyway, I'm making fabulous progess on my "Jordan Valley Park" Hoodie (that's Central Park Hoodie, Springfield MO style!).  I've finished the back, fronts, and hood, and I started the sleeves.  I am trying to finish it in time for my vacation – I leave on Sunday! 

In non-knitting news, I have a big announcement!  (No, I'm not pregnant, like half the knit-blogging world.)  I got a new job!  (This explains the airplane picture, I promise.)  I am going to be an assistant city attorney, specifically, the "airport attorney."  My office will be out at the airport and I will be the attorney on site to handle all the leases, contracts, FAA compliance, construction and everyday problems related to the airport.  This is a big change from my previous job, so luckily I am going to get a lot of training.  I'm looking forward to a change in pace from private practice, and I think this will be a good move for me.

  1. Congrats on the new job! Don’t give up blogging for Ravelry! Ravelry works well WITH blogs and we’d miss you commentary about knitting, too. Adding a bit of ‘real life’ is always a bonus for your readers, too.

  2. Congratulations on the new job! My first thought was how easy it will be for your to catch a flight from work. :) I swear, that stresses me out so much sometimes.

  3. Congrats on your new job
    Thanks for mentioning Jordan Valley Park. Made me smile. Hubby built the parking garage.
    I miss Springfield….
    Have a great day!

  4. Belated congratulations! I’ve been thinking of going all-Rav too… It’s tempting… but then I still see funny things and think ‘I could blog that’ – so I think I’ll keep the blog side going, such as it is (neglected.)
    I’m just catching up on bloglines after 2 weeks away – fabulous Ice Storm Sweater! I love it!
