Time Flies When You’re Having Fun

I can’t believe it’s been almost a month since I posted.  Guess there are no blog readers left!

But fear not!  I have merely been hibernating for the last of the dark cold winter.  I snapped this picture while at a stoplight… Huge icicles on every edge.

Spring is trying to emerge.  Green is peaking out.  The snow has finally all melted away.  My usual love of winter diminished this year and I look forward to Spring like never before.  Really.

What have I been up to you may wonder…or not…

Many things:

I have been knitting.  I found a superb bargain at my favorite thrift store.  Yarn!  Lots of it.  I spent about $40 and (according to internet research) got over $300 worth of yarn!  Whoooo Hooooo!!

Camel colored wool is trying to take shape as my first sweater.  I worked almost the entire back before I pulled it all out and opted for a different needle size.  If I’d have kept going as it was, maybe a Leprechaun could have fit in it!

I went with Christine to the National Gallery to see a Russian independent film.  I thought it was going to be about daily life in St. Petersburg.  It was mostly silent and featured deaf people who worked to make a huge bell for a tower.   Neither of us enjoyed it.  I tried to take the arms-length picture of the two of us, but turns out I had the zoom lens on so she said “Cheese” without me…

We got the kids a 12’ trampoline.  It’s amazing.  What more can I say?

I’ve been eating way too many Girl Scout cookies!  Love thin mints!

I have not been productive around the house.  Piles of laundry and clutter haunt me…

Meanwhile meals still get prepared…and kids still go off to school… Activities are constant.
