been too long again since the last post. i worked a weekend and had a great program about the beach. we made these super cute octopus creatures and had lots of fun. the picture above is like it, but i just used folded cardstock instead of a paper towel roll. sandy got the idea off the interent and they turned out even better than this. tomorrow i'm going to a preschool to do a program for 35, 3 & 4 year olds. just doing my favorites, like don't let the pigeon stay up late and bark george and the songs rags and wheels on the bus. i've never been to this school before, so hopefully all goes well. work itself has become harder. there are just so many people, with so many questions, that check out and return sooo many books. now on our phone hour we check in and my wrist is bothering me, but that probably has something to do with the 50 bridal shower invitations i made last week. all that cutting and folding and pasting and punching, wears a wrist out. but at least they are done.
i still need to finish her present for the shower and that's gonna hurt my wrist too. but i've got 3/4 of it done and 3 weeks to do it. unfortunately i slept thru church sunday and didn't get the invitations handed out. i was so exhausted from moving my sister the day before that i slept until 3pm.
yes cat and bill finally got their house!!! they signed the papers wedensday and i rushed over right after work. it is so big and the layout is good and they have lots of land and a pool. i'm soo excited for them. most of the fam came over and helped with the move on saturday. dad was in charge of ceiling fans and putting up things in the bathroom that mom kept going out to buy. mom was in charge of the bathroom and bought lunch and dinner for everybody. brian and bill did all the heavy lifting. they worked like dogs and it was 102 outside, so they were pretty beat. cat and i packed and unpacked the kitchens. we got their bed all set up and they spent their first night on saturday. cat went to the old apartment sunday and cleaned for hours, then turned the keys in. so long dinky apartment with the tiniest kitchen i've ever been in, hello big 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house for only 2 people. bill had to leave monday morning for a business trip, so cat has to spend the first week in the new house alone. but that will give her lots of time to organize things. plus this is the break between summer a and b, so she has a little extra time. i'm going over a few nights after work to help and keep her company. we are hoping to have 4th of july there, with their new pool and all that land to play frisbee and throw the football on.
i worked for my dad again on wednesday. i had monday and wednesday off last week from working the weekend. i washed dishes, made him lunch, and we went through everything on one of the shelving units in his workshop. it was very dusty and i killed a bunch of roaches. we threw away like 6 big garbage bags of computer junk. then he napped and brian helped me flip over the recliners and vaccuum and dust. i got to one corner of the huge L shaped desk. still a long way to go. i definitely need to clean the fridge, some gross things in there. i haven't done much on my class. i haven't been in school for a long time and then i did a lot of homework on the reference desk. one day last week it took like three hours on the desk to make it through a 12 question pre-course quiz. too many people bothering me :) i tried to logic the answers out since most of it was about html and i don't know anything about that. i got 7 right, not to bad. we take the quiz again at the end to see what we've learned. lessons 1 and 2 are out and i've read 2 pages of chapter 1 in lesson one. there are 4 chapters and i'm afraid to find out how many pages per chapter. the first two lessons are more history of the web and then we get to do hands on things to start building web pages.
father's day was good. we all went to karen and justin's. bill stayed home to get ready for his trip. we had hot dogs, brats, corn on the cob, potato salad, coleslaw, deviled eggs, and bbq potato chips. it was so yummy. i finally got mom on facebook. all her siblings and nieces are on there and with ruth gone, she needed a new way to stay in touch. however, she spelled her password wrong and now can't get in. oh mother. hopefully she figures it out. karen made two new things, coconut chiffon pie and coconut marble cake. the chiffon was good, but i could taste the lemon zest, and i don't like lemon. the cake was a little dry, but good too. then cat went home to sleep and we watched bedtime stories. its a family friendly adam sandler movie that is way cute.
