March Hangover
Did you all have a nice weekend? I had a good one — I made the trek to visit TheSecondChild and check up on him. And cook and clean. And do what moms do. His freezer is now stocked to keep him happy for awhile. I was tempted to go down there and make him come home. He’s doing well, but I miss the little booger. Oh, and I forgot — I fixed the fly on the boxers that I sent him for Valentine’s Day. I’d accidentally sewn it shut. Oops!
The trip was only marred by the awful weekend news. It’s a six hour drive each way and I was glued to the BBC (love that satellite radio) the whole time. Then tonight, I’ve been watching a few of the videos online. I think we should just take March off of the calendar entirely — have a do-over and skip right to April, where there won’t be any natural disasters and spring will have sprung in the Northern Hemisphere. Garrison Keillor definitely nailed it when he said March is like a hangover. If March didn’t contain the first day of spring (TheSecondChild’s birthday), it would surely be my least favorite month.
Ah well, sorry it’s been so boring around here. Too many un-exciting things going on. I hate to leave you without a picture though, so here’s a peek at a new quilt I started a week or two ago. I’ve made about nine blocks out of I-can’t-remember-how-many-I-need. With the limited amount of time I have for quilting during the hangover, this project promises to take some time.
One other little picture. It was Pi Day today at work. Due to my weekend absence and the fact that TheManoftheHouse worked all weekend and didn’t get the groceries needed for the pie, we failed to take some pie goodness. We’ll have to have Pi Makeup Day. Anyway, the spread looked much like last year except for this guy who brought in these yummy salted peanut marshmallow bars and put them in the shape of the Pi symbol. He also brought Moon Pies which I thought was pretty funny.
Ok, I’ll stop talking now. Hope you have a good week!
XOXO,
Anna
