Taking it easy

Miscellaneous Ramblings:

Boy, I feel like I'm in a holding pattern right now. We're leaving for Fripp early next Monday, and somehow I don't feel like I can really commit to anything when I have another trip over my head. I know, it's a personal fault. But we've been gone so much this year (relatively speaking) that I just haven't gotten much done. And I don't feel like things will settle down till next week is over.

I'm still researching kayaks. I'm now officially in Information Overload. The latest question: sit-on-top or sit-inside? Most of my admittedly limited experience with kayaks has been with sit-inside models. That's the model that really says "kayak" to me. We did rent a sit-on-top kayak in Hawaii. It was fine, but I confess to being a little nervous about not having a shell around me. But for the type of kayaking I'm most likely to do (warm weather/warm water, calm water) it may make sense. And sometimes I'd like to take a dog with me. That may be more practical with a sit-on-top. But they're not much more affordable than the plastic sit-inside models. Bummer.

I need to stop thinking about this stuff for a while and let it all gel together in my brain. I also need to find a venue where I can try some different models out and find out what I like better.

I'm writing all this like I can actually AFFORD one of these things -- HA!

Oh, and since it's Dear Robert's day off, we'll probably go see Spiderman 2 today.

Daily Knitting Report:

I made it down to one of the intown SnB meetings last night. Yay! It was nice to see some of the folks I know, and to meet some other folks I don't. And I've finished knitting the edging for another swirl on my grey shawl. Only three more swirl-sections (240 sts/480 rows, but who's counting?) to go!

News from the Dog World:

Cammie seems to have stopped coughing, and appears to be feeling MUCH better. Yay for the Bot!

Have a great time at Fripp. And I vote for the sit-in kayak - I'm afraid of the ocean, so the thought of being that close to the water just freaks me out Oh, and would you mind sending me info about the Stitch n' Bitch - I might actually leave the safety of my house and try it out.
