At about 11:00 today, the power went out in my office building. We waited around for an hour or so, until we got word that a substation had blown, and power wouldn’t be restored until 3:00. So I’ll have an even longer weekend than I was expecting, even with Memorial Day. Despite the lost work time and consequently the lost money, I’m not complaining. 
Despite some hiccups at school, it’s been a pretty good week. I got my scarf that I won from the Jelly Bean Society auction– I love it! Jiminy, tell your son that it’s great, will you? Too bad it’s May, and I won’t be able to use it for a few months. 
My cousins are in town for my other cousin’s high school graduation, and they brought their kids– including their newest, month-old Emily Mae. I got to meet her yesterday. So much fun to hold my namesake! She’s absolutely adorable, too.
Let’s see, what else has happened? I preordered a ladies’ fitted “I solemnly swear that I am up to no good” shirt from TLC. It won’t ship until the end of June, but that’s okay with me, as I don’t have the money for it at the moment. Just as long as it’s here by, say, July 16. 
The reason I don’t have the money at the moment is that I just bought this pic from Marta’s art sale. Whee! So totally worth it. I’ll post a pic of it when I get it all framed.
And. . . I’m going on a blind date tonight. A friend of a guy that Jen’s principal set her up with (we’re doubling). Know nothing about it except that his name is Joel and he’s (maybe) 25, and he has a concert (is he in the concert? What kind of music? no clue) tonight that we’re going to. Should be interesting. I shall report tomorrow.
And now I plan on enjoying the weekend. Until I start panicking on Saturday night because I haven’t prepared for my presentation on Wednesday. And since the teacher isn’t going to be there, It’d better be good or else the class won’t have anything to talk about. Joy.
