My Next Book

I finished the Miracle Morning today, so I have to move on to my next self-help type of book. I have two waiting for me, You Are A Badass: How To Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life by Jen Sincero and  A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson. I want to read both. The decision of which one to read first is difficult. I asked Chad his opinion and looked them a bit more closely to decide. 

I am going to read You Are A Badass first. Chad likes the title, but I had to look at it for what it was and remember what made me buy it. My goal with these books is to create a better life. I think this one will help me get closer, and it having a humorous tone will help me want to read it. 

The other book sounds wonderful and has been in print since 1992 which tells me it is a good book. I bought it because I loved a quote that was used in the Miracle Morning that resonated with me. It will for sure be my next book. For now, I am happy with my decision. 

Should I Drop It?

I am in week 4 of 14 for this semester. I have two classes that are very hard (Social Psychology and Teaching Family Life Ed) and one easy 1 credit elective. I have an A in the easy class, a C in the psychology class, and an F in the other one. I can redeem the psychology grade. I missed one assignment a few weeks ago, and I know that the grade will go up the as I turn in more work. I don’t know if I can redeem the other class, though. I need to make a decision if I should drop it and take it next semester which would push back my graduation until July. Honestly, this is what I’m learning towards. There are only two things keeping me from doing it: I can’t drop under 6 credits without having to pay student loans from my first degree, and I don’t want to ouch back my graduation again. I just don’t know if it is worth trying to figure out. 

Decision Made

I have decided that I am going to work on the mystery knit along. I really want to do a triangular shawl and would love to do something with lace again. I was considering using up the sparkly yarn left over from my niece's purse, but I can't stop thinking about a yarn that Noel didn't want for her hat that I loved at Hobby Lobby. I'm going to go to Hobby Lobby this week to pick it up. The yarn is so pretty. I really hope they still sell it. 

I am also going to start one of the hats. I bought a kit in the winter for a hat that I liked that I have not started yet because I couldn't find my circular needles. I have since bought new circular needles, so I can get started on it. I will probably put it on hold when I am able to start the shawl. 

Narrowing my Options

Now that the purse is done. I need to decide what to make next. Have have yarn and patterns for at least 3 more hats. My original plan was to get these started next, but I am not sure I want to make a hat right now even though they are all different yarns and patterns. The other project on my list is a mystery knit along that I signed up for a few months ago and started getting clues for last week. (Clues are sections of the pattern that are released on a weekly basis. This one is in three increments.) It is a shawl that I may for may not have the yarn for in my stash. 

I am leaning towards the shawl. It has been quite a while since I made one, and I am kind of itching to do something different for a little while. I can always go back to the hats later. The problem is I need to decide on the yarn and cant buy more yarn until Monday if I’m not happy with what I have. 

I know this isn’t the hardest decision ever made, but it is where I am right now. Make the hat that I have everything picked out for, it make the mystery shawl that I will probably need to buy yarn to make. I may have to do both.
