I think someone was trying to send a message today. Something like “Don’t go to work!” My drive in was rather eventful this morning – first I got stuck behind a slow-moving tractor. On a road with a double-yellow line. (I do live in the boonies after all). Then I ended up behind a van-style bus which needed to back into a driveway. When I got to the one-lane tunnel, several cars were coming through from the other direction. And just as I turned a corner, a herd of deer (ok, only three) jumped out barely 50 yards in front of me. And all that was before I got on the expressway and had to deal with rush-hour traffic, construction and an abandoned car in the middle of three lanes right about where the left lane ended. This is what happens when I drive myself to work instead of carpooling with Denis. No fahrvergnügen for me today.

All Done!
All Done!
The christening gowns are done. Completely. Right down to the little tags and all the ribbons (and those darn hems – I hate hemming things!). I even found time to sew buttons on the two little sweaters my mom and I knitted before the girls were even born – good thing we made them big! I checked out my film camera, replaced the batteries, found several rolls of Portra film… Aside from packing clothes, we are ready to go! Now I just have to sit down tonight and watch the new Star Trek pilot that I recorded last night while I was doing all that stuff. Ahhh. Time to relax. And worry. The dresses are supposed to fit infants up to 13 pounds. At last weighing (yesterday) the girls were about 12 pounds apiece. Ack! Can babies gain more than a pound in three days? Nobody thought they’d gain six pounds in six weeks, but they have… I guess we’ll find out in a mere 48 hours whether or not they fit. And there’s not a whole lot I can do about it either way. Except worry. :)
