Impulsive

I’m not prone to impulsive behavior. To the contrary, I typically procrastinate until the time for action has passed. This weekend, however, I did two impulsive things.

First, I cast on a new sock for my Sockapalooza Pal.
Blog 041

Yup, this is sock #3. The wine is there to help ease the pain.

The second impulsive thing I did was book a flight back East for . . . . Rhinebeck.
The airfare was shockingly inexpensive and I can weave in a trip to Boston for my mother’s 80th birthday. Anyone else going??

    Whoohoo! You bet! It’s usually the Bloggers’ Meetup of all meetups at Rhinebeck, so prepare yourself! Glad you are coming!

    OOOH!!! *CLAPPING* Promise me that we’ll do our best to meet. I owe you a hug (and a kick in the pants, lol) for getting me so addicted to lace.

    I’m happy that you are coming. You will have a blast!

    Well, I’ll just have to knit a pair of your socks to wear to Rhinebeck in honor of your impulsivity.

  11. Judy on 25 Jun 2007 at 3:54 am

    I think I’m about a two and half hour drive away so it is very tempting…

  15. kendall on 25 Jun 2007 at 8:38 am

  16. marie in florida on 25 Jun 2007 at 9:02 am

  17. Gina on 25 Jun 2007 at 9:43 am

    ALWAYS go to Rhinebeck! Can’t wait.

  18. Amanda Cathleen on 25 Jun 2007 at 10:43 am

    My Mom and I will both be at Rhinebeck this year (well, I hope we will! : )
    I hope your socks work out this time!

  19. Wanda on 25 Jun 2007 at 12:24 pm

    So when are you coming out to Estes/Denver? Rhinebeck sounds like a great trip, impulsive or not. A good decision and of course, you are getting to see your grandmother on her birthday, so obviously you picked a good time to go out!

  20. Beth S. on 25 Jun 2007 at 3:56 pm

    I do hope to be there, and if I get to meet you it will be the highlight of the weekend! :-)

  21. Susan P on 25 Jun 2007 at 5:26 pm

    Oh, you naughty girl! Need a baggage handler?

    Blessings!

  22. Jackie H on 25 Jun 2007 at 8:38 pm

    Aren’t impulses great ;-)
    Wish I was going… maybe next year.

  23. Angela on 26 Jun 2007 at 9:27 am

    Woohoo, Rhinebeck! Last year was the first time I’d ever gone and I am sure looking forward to it this year. See ya there!

  24. Kim on 26 Jun 2007 at 9:34 am

    Cool! I am so happy to read you are coming to Rhinebeck!!!!

  25. Carol on 26 Jun 2007 at 9:49 am

    I wish I were…

  26. Batty on 26 Jun 2007 at 10:28 am

    More likely than not, I’m going too. And I’m near Boston!

  27. Wendy on 27 Jun 2007 at 6:43 am

    I went to Rhinebeck last year with my friend Gayle. She can’t go this year, so I need to find another travel buddy. But I think I will be there.

  28. Laurie on 30 Jun 2007 at 3:38 am

    Yay! Yes! Were you the one googling for blogger hotel at Rhinebeck?? How long will you be in Boston?

  29. sandy on 01 Jul 2007 at 8:26 am

    YOU ARE GOING TO RHINEBECK???
    whoohoo! Now….if you need a ride back to the Boston area, I’m your chauffeur~! Really~!
    I hope, hope I get to spend time with you, without looking, you know…like a sicko stalker!
    :D

    Aren’t you going to see your gram on her birthday and “incidentally” it coincides with Rhinebeck? :) hehe
