I love my mailman

So I took a break today, only find that the kids had got the mail. Thor was holding it for me...

And inside I gleefully saw this...

It's my new burgandy/plum/dark rose semi-solid cashmere cobweb weight lace yarn!!!!! Of course, it's not burgandy/plum/dark rose yet because I get to do that part. :) Here's one more picture of it, on a penny, with a strand of regular sewing thread for comparison. The sewing thread is the top thread.

Freedom!

In January I was thrilled to learn that a professor of mine also taught, as her "day job", at KU.

In March I took my GRE exam, and didn't do as well as I'd have liked. But I did okay.

In May I learned that I'd been accepted into the Master's of Public Health program at KU. My professor, already mentioned, ask that I request her as my advisor. And she told me the good classes to take. (oh, the joys of having a couple someones in my corner!)

Now I am just about to complete my undergrad degree, and I'm going to take a nice l-o-n-g vacation this summer. I've already picked out some of the must-see yarn stores and attractions... if you follow along here, you can follow along with our adventures!
