My Google Reader shows 390 blog posts to read. Just think of all the energy that went into writing those posts this week. Amazing. I may not read every one but they are amazing just the same.
I had a wonderful time with Charlynn at the Quilt Festival. I did my part to support our economy. The results of this support may or may not be disclosed in a future post. In addition to having time to be with Charlynn and enjoy our friendship in person, the exposure to all the creativity at the Festival made an impact on me. I may not be an especially innovative or creative individual, in (small) part, due to the time I devote to my current employment. However, I do enjoy the process of making something and the satisfaction of knowing how to "do" something.
I'm planning on cutting back on my rather random internet surfing and increasing the time spent with my "crafty" stuff. I doubt if any changes will be noticed here at the blog. I will be cutting back on time spent in front of the laptop, though I am not sure what the actual result will be and if anyone will notice, even me. Hopefully, there will be more handmade stuff on the walls of my home and adorning my body.

I'm almost all packed with the exception of backup knitting projects and reading materials. I'm looking forward to seeing Carrie K. and being able to explore a small part of San Francisco with her. I'm also excited about the opportunity to attend the RSA Conference. Can you say 'geek?'
Woo-hoo! Say hi to Carrie K. for me! I am a bit jealous -- San Francisco and geekdom and a fellow knitter. Well, actually, I am MORE than a bit jealous. Have a great time!

Maybe I should consider myself lucky that all of my work time is spent in front of a computer and I have time to check out all the blogs during my workday....

Good for you! I really need to do that, too. Too much time wasted online that could be wasted elsewhere.
Woo! Have a safe fabulous trip and please hug Carrie for me.

Ack! You're leaving the knitting and reading packing until the end?!Isn't that dangerous? You might forget something!
Will you be making a stop at Lacis or other knitting emporium while in SF? I could use some vicarious yarn shopping.

San Fran sounds so fun. I'm kind of enjoying my time away. There are really only a few blogs I read and comment on. (hence my lack of readership) I just hope I can keep it up when Texas returns to the road.
AND! He wants to know when you and Wilson are coming to visit. He's getting the boat up and running this week. :D

I'm using Google reader to focus my time and choices on the net. You're still one of the top. Have a great time in one of my favourite cities.

So jealous of your San Fran trip! Have a great time.
390 unread posts! Overwhelming. I'd be tempted to hit "mark all read"
