My First Political Rally

Today I went to see Barack Obama! Fabulous Fiance and I set out for the American Legion Mall in downtown Indy at around 10 this morning. After waiting in the security line for about 45 minutes (I can now check off "frisked by a Secret Service Agent" from my life to-do list) we found our place in the audience, about 60 yards away from the podium where Obama would speak. I can't say that he revealed any new or incredible insights about the upcoming election but it was an inspiring experience to be a part of the audience. It is sort of exciting to be living in such a significant state this election ... there's a chance Indiana could go "Blue" for the first time in many years. (It's also sort of annoying, seeing as there are about 20 political commercials every hour on tv right now.)

Whatever your beliefs or party affiliation remember to vote!

Running on Empty

I haven't been posting here much, and I haven't been knitting much. I've been spending most of my personal project time working on wedding stuff and I'm even starting to feel DIYed out on that!! I'm at this point where I just want some instant gratification and starting a new knitting project just feels sort of overwhelming.

I realized the other day that I need to take a little break and find some inspiration. I keep picking up my yarn and needles/beads and wire/ and putting them down in frustration a few minutes later. I just don't have a good vision of what I want to accomplish. It's time to just relax, re-awaken my senses, collect some research of things I like, and let it all swim around inside my brain a little before I come back to the nuts and bolts of making things.

And that is A-okay.
