Summertime and this blogger is lazy . . .

It seems ever time I sit down to up date this I get pulled away. Of course another problem is that I have not actually sat down at the keyboard that often. My school has just started the new quarter so the library has been filled with dazed new students or returning students who sigh & sigh. And nearly ever one has a choice comment on our purple walls.

And yes gentle readers, I can now report there is life outside of work. My Dad just celebrated his 77th birthday. My sister arranged for us to gather at a very nice restaurant for a Sunday jazz brunch. This year he was actually surprised by his gift an Olympus digital camera, with a re-chargeable battery kit, memory card & carrying case. As you can see it was all smiles.

More smiles came my way when I got a very gushing email from my SP8 spoilee. It seems that packages do eventually get to where they are sent. It was great fun putting that box together. I raided my LYS and included some handmade yarns, then tossed in a special item for her cat, a display calendar for her photography and a few other goodies. I also added 2 packages of Pop Rocks - the candy of urban legends.

My Harry Potter socks are coming along very slowly.


The baby blanket has also hit a speed bump.


As for my Sock Pose project . . .HA HA HA

But I nearly finished a new mouse. Until the Cat of cats came by.

That's about it for now. Try not to melt- libraryminion
