what are folks doing this weekend?

Emmett's prom! I've got to shuttle him all over beforehand on Saturday. Then collect him on Sunday.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't mind the days I work 7:30-4:30 because even though I'm at the office the same length of time, leaving at 4:30 helps to mitigate the feeling that I've been at work FOREVER. But these 9:30-6:30 days are brutal.

My CSA starts tomorrow, so I'm picking that up in the morning. Then Dylan's swim class. Sunday my sister is having a graduation party in the park, so I'm going to make some cheddar olives (BEST SNACK EVER) and hang out with her grad school buddies feeling old for a while.

Cheddar olives:

The key is to thoroughly drain the olives so the dough doesn't get soggy with olive juice while you're rolling them. And to have the dough at room temp so it will easily roll out thin.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

This weekend is all about music. We're going to the Washington Folk Festival during the day on Saturday and Sunday, and to a benefit concert on Saturday night.

Oh, crud. I forgot the grad party tomorrow afternoon. Man, another busy weekend. Thanks for reminding me - better find a card for the graduate.

Timesheet done and now to shuttle CJ to an ARP "meet the probies" BBQ. Or should I make his stay home and study for summer school that hasn't started yet?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

It seems I have plans for the weekend after all. Whoever it was at work who won the raffle for tickets to Spamalot decided they couldn't go, and I was next on the list.

It is an outdoor venue, so here's hoping for a break in the weather.

Weekend plans: writing, gathering supplies and making Bags of Mystery and ElderGoth Nostalgia bags for the upcoming Time Traveler's Rummage Sale, and maybe going to the new spa that opened up by my house.
