I'm dreaming of a white May Two-Four weekend
Yup. Still snowing.
This time next year, of course, I'll be living in Georgia and complaining about the heat. When that time comes, just remind me to come back and look at this picture, okay?
There in the foreground is the pile of sticks I was planning to deal with this weekend, but I think I'll wait until they're not covered in snow. And lest you think that's garbage in my yard, that tarp on the ground (right hand side) is actually there to kill the grass so we can put in a garden. This weekend I was also going to move it closer to the fence to start killing the grass over there too, because we hate grass, and want it all gone from our sight. Those long white metal things between the tarp and the fence? Okay, those are garbage. But they hold the tarp down, so we can't throw them out yet. At least that's my excuse; in reality, as I'm sure you all know, I'm just too much of a lazy slackass to do anything about it right now.
In other news, I finished my last exam, a take-home essay for my Ecopoetic Readings in Canadian Literature class, and that's it. No more undergraduate work for me, ever. I would celebrate by running outside with no clothes on and rolling in the flowers for a while but, well, see above.
I'm still chugging along on the sample for Big Girl Knits; it's getting heavy, and just seems to go on and on. I feel like I could break it into pieces and clothe the multitudes with this much fabric. I don't mean that to sound like a fat joke, it's not the size I'm knitting it in that's the problem, just that I designed a big, long garment.
Since it's now too big to take on the bus, I allowed myself to start something small, and did so much waiting before my history exam on Friday that I now have a finished Glampyre boobholder to show you, just as soon as Peter gets here to take a picture of it.
And in the interest of using up some stash, I've joined this:
It sounds like fun, and you can sign up too! It's open up until midnight tonight.

Congrats!!
I remember that not quite three year old feeling of done-ness, followed by the feelings of "what should I do now?" the next fall.

Yeah, Georgia will be hot and humid... so, get ready!
Can't wait to see the boobholder--love that pattern :)

And that's why _I_ love Canada ... May 24, that is. Government-enforced long weekends scattered liberally through the summer = a sign of a civilized country.
