It's almost summertime. I did get out of Dodge for an extended Memorial Day Weekend. Traveled to Ohio to visit friends and relatives -- some of which I hadn't seen in thirty years. It was a very nice trip especially since I had a frequent flyer reward airline ticket to use up.
My summer 13 week FSU class is on website design, etc. I have some "experience" with websites ;p so it shouldn't be too horrifying. Class is a prereq for the courses I really want to take for my Masters Degree.
Also signed up for 5 weeks of drawing and 5 weeks of Chinese calligraphy at the local community college. I enjoyed the Chinese calligraphy studies I did last summer in China. I already have all the supplies so taking the courses should get me back in the grove.
The stamp clubs that I belong to (proxy for husband really) have meetings in Minneapolis (July) and Baltimore (September). Other than those trips, I plan on staying close to home this summer.
Note on the home front -- we redid our 90 gallon fish tank. Hubby had one wild sunfish from the Eveglades in it. I got tired of having a fish that hid all the time in our main tank. So changed out the sunfish -- moved it to our 55 gallon tank and put zebras, minnows, cherry barbs, etc. in its stead.
Also our corydora catfish laid eggs and I managed to keep a dozen babies alive this time. This is the 3rd generation from catfish donated by a friend 15 years ago.
Got a discounted Wii and WiiFit in the hopes that it will inspire me to exercise. So far so good.
Cello front isn't looking great. I haven't practiced since chamber music class ended. Don't know how to inspire myself into practicing. I'd like to lose my fear of sightreading tenor clef. Does anyone have any ideas?
The only dark cloud on the horizon is work. I may have to do some work this summer. There are threats of projects that might soak up all my spare time. Oh well.
