Still working on my target’s SIPs for Sock Wars III. I managed to finish up the first sock over Memorial Day weekend, but I haven’t finished the second sock yet (getting close, though!). I have checked back in the warrior listing, and my assassin is out of the game (lucky her, she has a pair of finished socks!). So, assuming I finish the SIPs that are destined for my target’s target before my new assassin finishes her target’s socks for me, there’s still the issue of my target’s target being in Canada. The longer the mail takes, the longer I am a sitting duck!
Relay For Life went pretty well last weekend. That is, except for it being cut 3 hours short due to the fire company’s anniversary parade (why the borough let them be scheduled the same weekend, I have no clue). And except for it being cut about 1 MORE hour short of that due to thunderstorms. We all got pretty drenched packing up and loading stuff back in our cars. I ended up not taking along the awareness ribbon dishcloths to sell — I only managed to get four done. I think I’ll work on more over the next year and sell them for a fundraiser at the 2009 Relay.
Also got my deadline weaving done — a lap blanket for the Relay For Life raffle. One of the young girls from church won it (her mom and I are the same age) and I think she’ll really like it. Heck, she’s still young enough to use it as a full-size blanket!
I’m looking forward to being done with Sock Wars, hopefully soon… As of this writing, there are still 417 assassins still “alive” and 723 are listed as “dead”. After nearly a month. So it could be a little while yet. It would be nice to win, but I have so many other projects in the queue that are begging for my attention. Plus, Summer of Socks starts in just two weeks! And there are projects for the nephew and other family members I want to get started on. And it’s almost summer… I need to make time to get out there on the bike! (Already managed two short rides so far!)
