It has been a wonderfully crazy few days...crazy being the way I seem to live my life.  That is another post for another day.  Today I just wanted to update my few, but totally loyal readers about the progress I am making on some of the items on my list!  
Last night I completed my T-Shirt "Quilt" that is really a BLANKET!  I have no problem saying that. But it is done!  Below is a picture of my WONDERFUL co-workers helping me get it done.
I work with a few women who are real quilters and I would never try to say that what I have done is quilting.  But it is a snuggly blanket!  I have enough T-Shirts that this one is going to my Dad (and since I am pretty sure he never gets on here I will post a picture tomorrow) and I had enough t-shirts left over to make a pillow case that holds 2 pillows.  I am making an "Elba" blanket for my Mom and I am going to have a Troy/Phi Mu blanket for myself.  I didn't realize how many t-shirts I have accumilated over the last 15 years or so!  But the good news is my List only calls for one so it is DONE!
CHECK OFF # 24 
Last night I also talked to Jason about a time for me to head his way and we are looking at a few dates in late summer!  Hopefully he will be in his new digs by then and ready for some "REESE ACTION!"  Jason and I met each other years and years and years ago at a very early YLF. He is also the person I flew to Seattle to see a few years ago....man what a trip!  I was on the ground in Seattle at total of like 36 hours.  But we packed in a ton of fun!  I always enjoy hanging out with Jason that is the reason I have him on my list!
Basically things are LOOKING UP!  If only the weather would co-operate with me!  It did help force me to stay inside to finish the blanket. 
***Side note...My internet at home that I was "borrowing" from a neighbor who hadn't put a security measure on his/her internet is no longer working.  So if my posts are hit and miss it's because I am at the McDonald's down the street and I can't get online whenever I want to!  I may just have to put my big girl hat on and get internet.....we shall see.
