I don't mind talking or getting together with people, it just was ridiculous, because at this point I am not busy hardly at all. I try to keep myself going by doing the typical house keeping. You know, the washing dishes, putting them away, doing laundry and picking up. That can only get you so far, especially if you have the WHOLE day 7:30 to 6:00pm to keep yourself busy and occupied. For me, that means boredom comes at me like a heat wave. No stopping it.
In attempt to stop the dreaded boredom, I attack my projects with all that I have. So one baby blanket is complete! It looks great! I can't wait to give it to the teacher in my classroom. I hope it will fit whatever baby (boy or girl) that is born. My other baby blanket is nearing the end as well. All the blue squares are finished and I have twenty-eight squares more to go to complete the square part of the blanket. I think I will have it finished by the end of the summer. That is my goal. To have both blankets done by the end of summer.
With that goal in mind, that should allow me some time to complete the "little" projects I had in mind to do. If you remember, from so long ago, a yellow monster and four penguins. Now that I think of it, if this blanket leaks into the middle of August I will only have a month in a half to finish the monster and at least three penguins. Maybe I could attempt the snake instead. I don't know. As the saying goes "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it" and that is what I have to do.
As I was saying at the beginning, the visit with my friend Amy was nice. We caught up with everything, confessing how are lives were going so far (at least since we'd last seen each other). Then we explored downtown Iowa City, in hopes of finding Home Ec. We did not find it with our first adventure in, so we stopped for lunch at the India Cafe. A neat little restaurant that serves authentic Indian food. They had a fairly nice buffet that gave you a taste of everything. Though I didn't see curry, which I prefer, but it was good nonetheless.
Our lunch was tastefully consumed and it was time to head out to the sauna outside. We walked back to my car and headed to Home Ec. pointing the GPS to another restaurant that is near to it. We got to Home Ec without a hitch. Amy enjoyed it as much as I thought she would, I refrained from buying more yarn, as I had purchased some recently. But it is always fun to take a look.
Our get together came to an end, but it was nice to catch up and explore the city. I returned her home and headed back to mine.
