Busy in Beantown

It's been another crazy week that's kept me from updating the blog. I've been trying to keep up and get ahead at work in anticipation of a work-related trip. I flew out today to Boston - my first time here. I'm going to be spending a week in Cannon Trust School's Fiduciary and Investment Risk Management course. And even though it's so hard to be away from the love of my life, Robert agreed that I should take a couple of extra days for sightseeing. He's the best!

I'm staying in the Student Village at Boston University. This is my dorm room.

Better yet, this is the view from my dorm room. That's the Charles River.

After I got settled, I hopped on the T, and headed to Harvard Square. After buying the obligatory Harvard t-shirt (which I really wanted because I've been watching the "Dharma & Greg" reruns lately), I scoped out the nearest LYS, Woolcott's. It was okay, nothing special. But that may be because Grumperina and Jess have gotten my hopes up for Mecca - more about that next week - I'm going to try to get there on Saturday. I did buy a couple of balls of Noro Kureyon for Lizard Ridge, though. It was only $8.50/ball, which is a little less expensive than other places I've been buying it.

And, since I had two plane rides this morning, I made some progress on the Monkey socks.

If you've checked my Ravelry projects, I've put a few more things on as WIP's. I'm optimistic about 10 days here with no TV. We'll see what happens.

Tomorrow, I'm taking a tour to New Hampshire and Maine. I'll try to be more current with my posts. See ya!

Oh have fun! Looks like you ended up with a pretty good view from your room. The Monkey socks are striping beautifully. :)

Wow you've made some great progress! Can't wait to see the rest! Did you turn the heel?
