Headed to Memphis

As some of you may know, I am the Seminar Chair for Share-A-Stitch XXXI, the Tennessee Valley Region’s annual embroidery conference.  SAS XXXI is scheduled for June 2011. If you are a member of EGA (or want to be a member) please consider coming to Birmingham, AL for this three day event!

Anyway, I am headed up to Memphis to spend the weekend with the Dean of Faculty.  I am excited to participate in class selection for the event, in part because I have never been a part of this process before.  I mean, how cool to see all of the proposals and watch the process for selecting classes unfold.  From this point forward, the chairman job will demand more of my attention.  So please understand if I am distracted!

Oh, and on a completely unrelated topic.  Yesterday and today, my hair was curly.  I often let it dry naturally, but it has been too cold to do that for a few months.  My hair used to be super straight, but it got wavy after my thyroid problem presented itself.  I started using a straightening iron about ten years ago.  For the last two days, I have noticed a lot of soft curls, something that would have required a permanent wave to accomplish in the past. It has been so long since I had a perm, I can barely remember how to handle curly hair.

Made Lifetime

I officially signed my life member contract with Weight Watchers tonight. It took a year and a half, but I made goal and no longer have to pay for meetings, as long as I do not vary from my goal by more than two pounds and I weigh-in at least once a month.
