Definitely just realized today how close August is, and that there's tons of things that I want to do in August.

This weekend is pretty much void of anything classified as "fun" and/or "outdoorsy," as it has been relegated to "unpacking." That's right, I move into my new apartment this weekend. I get the keys tonight, and I've got my camera with me for the "Before Amy's Stuff" photos (and some WIP photos, I've been really bad about keeping up with them). My POD arrives on Thursday, the movers come to unload on Friday (and Friday AM, I have to go get my driver's license and start working on my car registration), and then Saturday and Sunday I want to get as much done and unpacked and settled in as I can.

August 7 is the First Friday Gallery walk in Old Town, which I kind of want to check out but may put off for another month. On August 8, there's the French Nest Market, which [info]amazonsun and I had considered wandering through, and then on that Sunday, there's the Denver Handmade Craft Fair. I really want to go to both (with the idea that maybe, if I get my butt in gear, I could sell stuff at one or both next year), and I haven't gone into Denver yet. The problem with the Denver fair is that it's near the zoo. ZOOOOOOOOOOO. Crafts or zoo, crafts or zoo, aaaah! Sorry.

The next weekend is also potentially busy, as New West Fest will be going on, while at the same time Rocky Mountain National Park (and a slew of others-Mesa Verde! Dinosaur National Monument!) are all free admission that whole weekend.

AND THEN, the Greek Festival is August 22 and I do love me some Greek food, so I'm going to have to go to that.

All of that to do in August and this past weekend it was a chore to get out of bed. Seriously, yesterday I got up around 7:30 to feed Vera, and then I crawled back into bed "for just a little while." Four hours later, I got out of bed, made myself some lunches, putzed around in my jammies, made myself do my laundry, and then around 6, I got back into bed to lay down for a bit. I didn't go to sleep, but just lying down was fabulous.

OH I FORGOT that August 7, (500) Days of Summer is supposed to start airing at the movie theater here. This excites me, because my TV Boyfriend is in it. And if you don't know who my TV Boyfriend is, you have not been paying attention.

Ah ah ah so much to do so not enough time need LISTS.

Friday:
-Wind yarn for February Lady Sweater
-Swatch for February Lady Sweater
-6:45 pre-wedding/post-hellish week pedicure (OMGYAY) (OMG should probably do a quick shave, even though legs aren't that bad)
-Work on Alice socks
-Block Kate's scarf so it can start drying


HO LOOK AT THAT PRODUCTIVITY PEOPLE AND IT'S NOT EVEN 8:30. I even cast on and knit the first three rows of the FLS. I amaze myself. Also, my legs are soft and smooth and toenails are a pretty orangey-pink for summer.

Saturday:
-Work on commissioned Baby Booties
-Work on Alice socks
-Photoshoot at the beach for Michelle's maternity photos (so nervous! I don't know a lot about portrait shooting)
-Possible trip to Joann's for knitting needles and buttons for baby booties

-CLEAN
-Catch up on TV, preferably while working on one of those knitting projects
-Beta one chapter of the two in my queue


Sunday:
-Star Trek in the AM for cheap, because if I don't see it this weekend I'll probably forget all about it until it comes out on DVD
-MORE KNITTING
-MORE CLEANING

-Beta the other chapter
-maybe laundry?

Monday:
-Work
-Post office at lunch to mail Kate's scarf, baby booties, pick up postcard stamps (OH HEY THAT REMINDS ME)
-WW meeting
-MORE KNITTING


Tuesday:
-Work
-Leave work early for hair cut (should probably tell boss about that, oops!)
-Laundry if it wasn't done Sunday
-Make packing list
-Re-block Chrysta's shawl


Wednesday:
-Work
-Bring Office Amy to my apartment to show her where Vera's food and whatnot are kept (REMEMBER TO GIVE HER THE KEY)
-PACK
-Watch Criminal Minds to make sure they don't do what the preview threatens (because I am obviously in a position to "fix" it if it does...)

Thursday:
-Wake up early, get ready, drive to Orlando, get on plane, forget about everything for five whole days

It's probably not such a bad thing that I seem to have a bit of insomnia right now, eh?
