Busy Week!

Last week was very busy. I barely had time to do any of the things that I usually blog about, much less do any blogging itself!

Last week, we celebrated my younger son's 8th birthday:

We picked up this:

Appointments on different days. Husband had stitches taken out of his knee and got cleared to drive again (but may be a while before he feels fully comfortable driving the above). I went in for my first adjustment of the cochlear implant processor since it was activated. I now have three programs on it: one for "normal" environments, one for "loud" environments (such as noisy restaurants), and a third for music. Also, instead of just volume control, sensitivity controls have been added. So, I have been fiddling around with the programs!

An old high school friend and her husband stopped by on Thursday to catch up for a while. I had not seen her in about 20 years!

Yesterday I took an all-day workshop on thread techniques and different type of threads to enhance quilt work; and about other influencing things such as needles, fusibles and interfacings. I learned quite a bit and had fun while doing it!

I think the only real reading I got to do this week was when I took some magazines with me to catch up on while getting my hair done on Friday. I was already ahead of schedule on the GWTW read-along, so I should be able to post on that within the next couple days.

The kids start spring break this week, so while we aren't going anywhere out of town for the week (husband will be returning to work this week after being off for three weeks due to his knee surgery), I probably will try to take a few day trips with them. Otherwise, we will all drive each other crazy if we are house-bound all week. :-)!
