I stopped by Savers on the way home and found 2 cute sweaters and a little black dress ( under $25) for Hannah for her new job at Fox and Hound. Then, at Michael's request I headed to Target and then Hallmark at the mall to look for a giant get well card for his boss - Chuck, as in "talk to Chuck". With that in hand, I headed home, changed clothes and grabbed his gift for his work gift exchange at the Tavern in the Tech center and headed back across town. By now, I had pretty much circled the Denver metro area at least once. On the way home, we stopped at Nordstrom Rack since we had a gift certificate to spend there before Dec 31st.
Today felt like a day of procrastination. While I drank my coffee this morning and caught up on email and facebook, I watched a mouse do laps around my living room and marveled at the fact the neither of my 2 dogs nor my 2 cats were around or awake to respond to its antics. Also, I lamented at the failure of all the mouse traps we have set out for the little pest! By the time I was moving with any speed, it was time to meet a friend at Starbucks at 4 pm in order to coordinate booking our flight to Seattle for the NAEA national conference in March. We are doing a presentation on ArtSource as model for art teacher professional learning and leadership development. Mind you, I did get some house work done, moved studio stuff back into my car and talked to my daughter-in-law, Megan and son, Tim in Ohio for awhile.
Tomorrow is Betsy Allen's Memorial service at 11 am. I need to figure out if after dropping Michael at work at 6:30 am I will head to school to work or head back to the studio to work before attending the service. Betsy was a friend and a colleague at my school who died suddenly the week before Christmas. In the last year, she became a believer. Not sure how much I will be worth after the service, but perhaps I can make back to the studio and find solace in my art work. Tomorrow is also my mother-in-law and my sister's birthdays!
