Did I really just do that?!

It's official - I just sent in my application to go back to school! Holy Moly!
It may take me awhile, since I'll still need to work full-time, but it's a step in the right direction.....
Now I just have to wait for official transcript reviews to see what credits will follow me and then we can get the party started!

Busy weekends are good....

Our original Saturday plans got pushed to Sunday, so we headed to Henry Ford Museum instead. Unfortunately, it rained most of the afternoon and we ended up skipping the Old Car Festival at Greenfield Village, but still had a good time at the museum. Saw some amazing cars, bikes, and planes.

Saw the chair Lincoln was sitting in when he was shot. Got to walk through the Rosa Parks bus. Didn't get good pictures of those - the lighting was terrible and my little point and shoot was not sure how to focus in those situations! Grabbed a pic of this super mod sewing table and chair!

They also have a generational exhibit - with a Gen X section! Items that I had as a kid are now in museums!! How did that happen!?!? Speak N Spell, Simon, Merlin, etc.... They were even playing Duran Duran music! Although this was interesting from the baby boomers section

Sunday was a day at the in-laws. My Subie was in desperate need of an oil change, so we headed out to the shop to take care of it. I didn't manage to get oil on me too bad this time, just misjudged the angle it would come flying out of the oil pan and did get quite a bit on the floor instead! Oops! At least Paul and his dad helped me clean up the mess...

I'm still here.....

I'm still here...just been busy with work and well, life....not to mention a work exposure to pertussis and an unfortunately timed sinus infection with a fever that sent me to our employee health department, a course of antibiotics, and 2 unintended days off work with me on the couch feeling like crap.

Anyway, pertussis scare over; on to the good stuff. I was able to get the pinwheel quilt sandwiched, quilted, and binding sewn on. Now just to finish the binding and it will be all set for the baby shower (which I'll miss due to my work schedule - sometimes it sucks working weekends!)

And I am on "vacation" next week! In quotes, since Paul has to work and I'll be at home, trying to be productive. The yard is ready for the fall clean-up, I want to get our new inside doors painted, and of course, there is sewing and seeing the puppies.

We are keeping a puppy from Cooper's litter, so we are looking forward to another 4 paws in the house - just not those nights of crying in the crate - ugh! Jeanne was awesome enough to set up a webcam for the litter, so check it out if you have some time. They are 3 weeks old as of Thursday! She is moving the camera between the Bailey/Cooper litter (8 pups) and the Inja/Ajax litter(9 pups)  --yup - both her girls came into season at the same time and, much to her dismay, whelped on the same day!!) So it's double the viewing pleasure!

We are heading to the Paul's parents this weekend. Also on tap is a trip to The Henry Ford Museum. We finally convinced Paul - the anti-tourist, that a museum is NOT a tourist trap!!!Weirdo!

I'll leave you with a puppy picture from last week!
