- Summer Reading starts this weekend. Thus, this week is a frenzy of ridiculous activity getting ready. (Our Summer Reading program is apparently - according to a person who came to our system from King County - needlessly complex. Since it is the only Summer Reading program I've ever really been involved with, it seems pretty okay to me.) We're going to have a sign up table this year, instead of having each kid individually sign up with staff at the desk. I'm terribly excited about this development.
- There's this house down the street from where I live that I pass on the way to work every day. It's slowly being gutted. There's occasional piles of splintered wood or carpeting in the driveway that get covered with tarps and then eventually carted away. I'm fairly certain there isn't a working bathroom in there anymore. I'm not sure if the second floor is still there at all. And I'm really curious about it but also I really don't want to know why. Because I'm sure the reason will be disappointingly mundane and I'd like it to continue being a mystery so that I can make up my own stories. (Current favorite right now is that it's analogous to the Whateley place in The Dunwich Horror. The problem with this theory is that I've never seen anyone bringing in cows.)
- I have made a hat! I made it last night, in fact. (This hat, for people on ravelry.) Well, I say a hat but I mostly made it because it was the most attractive (to me) pattern that came up when I searched the term "snood". Basically, it will be a bag to put my hair in when it's hot. Hurrah.
- These shoes, while comfortable in most other situations, are turning out to really not be Tuesday shoes. Damn.
