hoo yah, the day is drawing to a close... phew.
You can check out Birkenstock's non-leather collection here.
In a week, I will be home...
I don't have a lot of exciting news except that I'm getting a lot of good knitting done and I think this next week will be smooth sailing unless my dean sees fit to somehow put me on some kind of checking-up-on-evening-program-planners duty.
:
I had a sad moment today for another mama... there was a phoebe, one of my favorite birds, who had made her nest on top of the fire alarm next to a door in the tunnel through our main building. She was right across the tunnel from my apartment door. I greeted her every time I came and went and finally she was getting used to me, although we weren't sure if she was spending enough time on her eggs to ever hatch them out, because there was a lot of traffic in and out of the door she was next to. Well, today I went to say hi to her to find that her nest was gone. It looks like it might have fallen victim to a chipmunk or other small egg-eating animal. The only sad remnants are the little shadows of egg yolk still on the concrete underneath. It makes me sigh, although I know that it's probably better because now she won't spend time sitting on her eggs that won't hatch out and she'll probably go make a new nest in a tree and start over. But still... I miss greeting her every time I go in and out of my apartment. *sigh*
Well, I think I'm going to go call my mom and let her know that I and her grandchild are still doing fine.
Hugs to you all,
jen.
ps: Savannah and Sarah - I'm sorry, I'm sure Jo has not sent your stuff yet. She's been pulling her hair out with these renovations. I'll get them to you asap!!!
