I was optimistic. I signed on for the Green Jersey at the Tour de France KAL. I was distracted by too many projects, though, and to date, my progress is minimal. I will continue on, though, and I will wear the Chickami before the end of the summer.
I didn’t even start with my Tour de Fleece project. I hang my head in shame. I was a zealous joiner at the start of the summer, but all of my energy has gone to writing my dissertation draft. I vow to organize my time and to limit my joining things I’m not prepared to really dedicate to.
But it is important that I meet my goal of finishing a first draft of my dissertation by the end of July. See, I made another little vow that I’m finally prepared to make public. If I do not finish the first draft by my target date, I will give away my yarn stash.
Even that cashmere I bought in Rome.
Stop hovering around you vultures and hyenas. This is one goal I intend to keep.
Sending solid finishing thoughts your way! Should I yell “GO PoMo, GO!” ala’ the guy in the car following Levi Leipheimer today? If so — you got it! Go Go Go! Rah Rah Rah! Yea dissertation!!!
So…will it be a question of who gets there first or who begs the most? *grin*
Just kidding! I hope you finish ;o)
Yes, I hope you finish, too…really!’
(Although living nearby does give me an advantage, should it come to that.)
Well, if it makes you feel any better I am a major Tour loser as well!!
Go Bev Go! Go Bev Go! I’ve pulled out my pompoms and am cheering you on for your dissertation. Your vacation looks like it was wonderful!
Hey, what you need are some good drugs to get you going fast! You’ll fit right in with the cyclists, she says dripping with sarcasm (and sadness).
Allez, Bev, allez!
Oh my, you really aren’t joking about the stash yarns are you! This is serous!!
Just have a croissant or a nice bottle of red and we’ll call that a successful tour de france!
Hmmm at least you’re lucky that I’m not eyeing your stash. I’m only doing one scarf! 😉
You will not give away your yarn stash! That’s a big incentive. You can do it!
Caw, caw Caw!
I too have joined a few things this summer that I’ve yet to follow through on. I’ve been getting easily distracted these days.
Well if that isn’t incentive enough to finish I don’t know what it is.
Hang in there – the knitting will always be there and the dissertation will feel great when it’s over and done with (trust me, I know….)
I have faith in you, Bev!
