Whoa, it's been a long time

It would appear that I once more feel the need to post details of my life on the interwebs. Interesting.

Tomorrow, I'm going to San Francisco, where I will visit Betsy and Anna Bish. I was fairly excited at first, then I got caught up in a lot of things and kind of forgot about it, and now I am ex-TREME-ly looking forward to going. I've been to the West Coast only once in my life, and I was much too small to remember. I'm going to see the Pacific Ocean! And a cool new city! And, to top it off, I'll be getting a chance to visit and catch up with friends that I haven't seen in far too long. I'm not going to be there for very long, just a short weekend (I get there Friday and I fly back to Chicago Sunday morning), and I have almost nothing planned.

Scary.

While I'm not an extremely planned person, I do tend to like to have a general idea of what's going to happen. If I'm going to a new city, I like to read as much as I can about it, and just figure out what I absolutely have to see, just in case it's the only time I'll go there in my whole entire life. But with this trip, I'm just going to do whatever. I don't really know what's in San Francisco, other than a large suspension bridge and a farmers' market, and I'm kind of ok with that. I'll get to see the city from my friends' perspectives, and I'm going to trust both of their excellent tastes in life. I know, without a doubt, I will eat good food, drink something, and enjoy splendid company, and that's good enough for me!

If I remember my camera (which I am packing right now, along with batteries), I will probably post pictures from my journey to norcal.

Another reason for reopening the blog? I've been knitting a lot lately, and I really want to share pretty pictures. :)
