I haven't been blogging as a blogger with a blog should. (How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?), and I accidentally left my camera on the last time I was uploading pictures. This was sometime early last week, which means that when I wanted to use my camera Saturday morning, it was dead. Finito. Kaput.
This is very unfortunate, because I have been running around a lot these past few days. So much that I still haven’t charged the camera battery and am only going to post highlights. (ithoutway the icturespay!)
Wednesday:
Jerm went to the Dr. because he injured his ankle playing ball the evening before. Fortunately, it is only a nasty high ankle sprain. Unfortunately, he is unable to run for 4-6 weeks. I am pushing for water aerobics as a substitute, but I don’t think that we’re on the same page.
Thursday:
Nothing special.
Friday:
Jerm came to the clinic after work, and we left immediately for a wedding in OKC. Once the camera is back in working order, I am going to show the wedding favor that we received at the reception. It was a GREAT idea!
Saturday and Sunday:
Wow. These days blur together, mainly because of one thing that consumed my entire weekend – the last two books of the Twilight series. Now, I never in my wildest dreams ever thought I was going to get into this series, but I happened to rent the move from a local Redbox (Have you heard of Redbox? One dolla movies, yo! www.redbox.com) and it peaked my interest. And so I started reading them this summer and finally borrowed these last two from a friend. And. They. Are. Addictive.
So if you are like me and have an unhealthy habit of reading like a freight train with no breaks once you find a really good book, I advise that you block out a whole week of your life to cover this series. After all, I managed these last two books in a little over two days. Sleep is so overrated.
Aside from this temporary addiction, we got in so late from the wedding in OKC that I skipped my early morning Saturday run with the intentions of going on Sunday. (Ha!) I woke up and headed straight to a sewing event at the same local quilting shop where I made my pillow from the previous post. The event was for a philanthropy called The Hugs Project. This group makes care packages and cool ties to send to troops overseas. What are cool ties, you ask? Well, if you look at Smiley Lady's neck in the picture below, you will notice that she has a bandana-like thing around her neck. This bandana-like thing is filled with polymer beads that absorb and retain water for an extended period of time so that they, in essence, cool off the body via evaporation. And now I know how to make them!
The great thing about this project is that I got to practice sewing straight seam lines while at the same time helping out a noble project.
As for the rest of the weekend….well, let’s just say that I had a date with a vampire book.
I love redbox! The twilight books are very, very addicting! I can't wait for the next movie to come out.
