Tick Tock Tick Tock

There's so much that I want to do before I leave, but now I am starting to realize that I don't think I will get around to it. Here's a glimpse of some of the stuff I wanted to do this summer:

1. Finish crocheting my crazy granny square blanket, among other knitting/crocheting projects that never got completed.
2. Take a shopping trip to the States.
3. Sew a bunch of skirts, or even just learn how to sew.
4. Read a few books that I bought over the years but never read entirely, like 'The Gulag Archipelago', 'Anna Karenina', 'Elizabeth I', and the 'Time Travellers' Wife'.
5. Take pics of some sentimental things for a photo album for my trip, like canola fields, wheat fields, a prairie sunset, the house, my family etc.
6. Bring world peace.

Well the last one was a bit of a stretch but I think it's still important! Anyway, time's rollin fast, it's almost the middle of July, I still haven't finished my revisions, Nicky's wedding is this upcoming weekend, Co-0p camp is next week and, I agree with Fanger, procrastination is at an all time high, at least in this neck of the woods.

This weekend was a nice social reprieve from the solitary confinement I've been unecessarily imposing upon myself. Saturday night was Fluff's cotillion celebrations, which were fun fun fun! And Sunday I helped Nicky with wedding prep, including bagging a few hundred bags of jelly beans and getting the champagne flutes for the head table.

Last night I saw Dan and Nara for the last time before the head back to New Zealand. We played cards with Squeeler and Clint, and chatted about life's mysteries. I've only had a handful of times to hang around with them the last two weeks, but they have had a lot of visiting to do over this time so I understand that. Having Dan around makes me realize how much I miss having him around on a regular basis. He's a good friend, quick to say he's proud of you and never afraid to tell you what he thinks, even when he thinks you are being stupid! I pinky-swore both him and Nara that I would visit them in New Zealand before they made it back to Canada. That's a promise I will bust my ass to keep.
