Friday Round Up: Mixed Bag Edition
05/28/2010
I don't know about you, but it seems like this has been a bit of a crazy week in BlogLand Now, I can't really complain -- because my week has gone much, MUCH smoother than it has for some people I know. And, while I might have had a broken air conditioner, at least I didn't have any snow. And I haven't noticed any big, persistent woodland creatures in my birdseed (yet). But. I did spot some huge . . . HUGE. . . poison ivy in my neighbor's back yard. . . in an area way out behind their pool. . . where they never think to check. It's nearing my fence. I'm ready to do battle!
Graduation plans are in full swing this week. My mom visited on Wednesday, and we worked hard, putting Brian's scrapbook together. It's still not quite finished. . . but almost!I've also planned the menu for his graduation open house, and started gathering the supplies and equipment I need to pull this off! Meanwhile, the newly-finished (former) high school student is enjoying just . . . hanging around. Doing nothing!
And. . . speaking of doing nothing. . . my bad knee acted up this week, relegating me to the couch with an ice pack (and maybe some wine. . . and some knitting. . . and an audio book. . .). I broke down and got a cortisone injection yesterday, and things are improving.
That quiet time did wonders for my current knitting project! I am very close to finishing this little summer cardigan. (Horribly written pattern, though. Horrible.)
And, in perhaps the biggest news of the week, I have purchased a new computer! It's going to take me a while to shift everything over. . . but I'm really excited. I have taken the plunge. See?
Now, before signing off for the Memorial Day weekend, take a look at what's happening in my garden. Our summer-like weather has encouraged all kinds of blooms . . . and vegetable growth at a rate I can practically WATCH!
Have a relaxingl Memorial Day weekend!
