Another Perfect Day in Chicago
I can't believe the great weather we're having. What a wonderful way to start June! I missed my walk to the "L" this morning in this beautiful weather. My DH drove me to the station as I had to get to work a little earlier today. I had to make up some time because I took an early lunch and needed extra time for a doctor appointment. Just a routine visit with my favorite Irishman, Dr. Micheal Maacken (Irish spelling of his name.) All is well! I took a cab there (it was stinky in the cab but at least I got where I wanted to go) but decided to take a bus back. David would be proud of me; I looked at Maps on my iPhone and figured out how to do it! The bus almost took me to my office door!
It's that time of the month at the office - monthly report time! This is when we kill as many trees as possible for reports. Luckily I have a lot of help from our dear Runners. They are interns there to help us with whatever needs to be done. A dream come true - and they're great kids! It's still a long process that takes at least 4 days to complete. Oh well, it barely pays the bills!
Watched a lot of the Queen's jubilee celebration. Tonight we watched the concert. Is it me or do the old singers, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, etc sound terrible? Its scary to see them because they all look so old. I'm sure we don't look old now do we? Tom Jones didn't look too bad himself. What happened to my youth? I always say youth is wasted on the young!!
I finally finished putting the binding on my Soduko quilt. I still have to press it so I'll post a pic tomorrow. I still haven't chosen a pattern for my first attempt at a queen size quilt. I think I'm a bit scared to commit to something so large. I'll have to keep looking - I have lots of time - no deadline other than that which I impose on myself. Knitting has fallen by the wayside with my quilting. I will be getting back into it; just taking a little break. I'm also looking at my scrap booking since I finally cleaned up the area a bit. Too bad work gets in the way of my creativity!
Stevie, (my DB) I hope you found my blog and are enjoying it. I'll sign off for tonight. I'll say what my dear Mother used to say; sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite. Boy, I just thought, that's a scary thing to say now-a-days! ;)
