5 things i did since i last posted...

don't get me wrong: i loooove facebook. but what a distraction it can be! and i don't even mean that it's a distraction from real-life responsibilities and duties (because it is that too!). mainly, it's a distraction from my other internet distractions -- namely, my blog. and really, there should be enough material in my life to fodder both venues, no? this post will be: 5 things i've done since i last posted:

1. we went on a couple trips to vancouver -- how great it was to see you all on the west coast again! we ate sushi, went to the beach, went shopping, ate sushi, walked around parks, hung out with old friends on main street, saw a cute new baby, went to daiso, and we ate sushi. it was a *very* fun time.

2. i made another baby quilt -- this one was called the "Potter Quilt" because it was done with beatrix potter fabric of the watercolours from some of her stories. it was very cute. congratulations to the new parents! what i loved most about this project, is that i was able to develop some new skills (i machine-quilted diagonally and i made my binding on the bias so the gingham pattern appeared to be lattice work)

3. we got a membership to a community pool -- it's very nice to have a pool to go to when it gets hot out! just a quick dip and you feel refreshed! they even offer aquafit classes in july/august. it's perfect. and the best thing about it is that i can invite as many guests as i want! come one, come all.

4. i'm planning a trip to new york -- okay, i might have been doing this before my last post, but it's really coming together now. we're going to stay in the chelsea area, go to chicago on broadway, walk the brooklyn bridge, ride the carosel in central park, dine at some yummy restaurants, shop at anthropologie (yeah!) and some other shops, and just plain hang out in general. i'll definitely be keeping you posted!

5. we just got back from a trailer park weekend -- thanks again to the gracious hosts! we roasted marshmellows, ate 'smores, went to bingo, played horseshoes and ringtoss, went to an 'adult' dance, and we danced hedonistically around a fire before star gazing. quite fun!

well, if you're still reading after all this, thank you :)
