I can't believe it's mid-June already, it should only be the beginning of May. I'm a month behind on blogging and have a long list of items I wanted to blog about. Sadly, that means I'm not able to comment in a timely fashion about events (read: bore you to death with details), nor was I able to participate in
BlogLikeItsTheEndOfTheWorld so I can't tell you how I survived this year's zombie uprising (but I'll be there Feb 13, 2009). And several of you have written to inquire about my blog, so I know it's wa-a-y past time to write. So here's a summary of events since last we met.
May 3. Lincoln City Libraries Staff Association held a bowling event. After lots of trading back and forth, teams were finalized at the last minute. I was part of Support Services Strikesters, and hadn't done that poorly at bowling in years. Since we weren't going to win, I was hopeful we would take last place, but we were ranked in the middle somewhere. Drat!
May 15. Hartley School at the Zoo. I was working that Thursday night for a colleague so Deb H. was kind enough to take Cassie to the event for me. I added Deb to the list of people authorized to pick up Cassie from her after-school program, so Mark was able to go directly to his part-time night job. Free admittance to the zoo for the kids and their families, and a free ride on the train - can't beat that. It was actually an event to promote Math, but Deb tells me the math stations were pretty well ignored by the kids. After the zoo, they headed out to Village Inn for a late supper.
Memorial Weekend. I worked that weekend so Mark and Cassie headed up to Creighton without me on Saturday. I had the house to myself Saturday and Sunday night. Monday I finished my denim quilt! For the quilters among you here're the stats: 59"x83", blocks are 4" finished, 15 across, 21 down. Denim blocks were cut from my jeans as they wore out and Cassie's as she outgrew them. Backing is anti-pill fleece, folded over to form the binding as well. Tied with perle cotton.
Lincoln Public Schools ended Friday, May 30. Cassie enjoyed school but couldn't wait for it to end so she could call herself a First Grader. Here she is on the penultimate day of school. Now that it's summer, the neighborhood is filled with foul-mouthed, bratty kids roaming the streets at all hours of the day and night. No kidding. A small group of 'tweens stood arguing at the alley drive at 2am on a weeknight. I gotta move.
