I don't want to go too overboard here because I wasn't directly affected and I don't know anyone who was directly affected, either.

Anyway, like pretty much everyone else, I spent most of last week (and especially Friday) glued to the news. Friday was restless and peppered with a couple of short naps here and there. I couldn't get anything productive done. My office was closed, things felt surreal, and I didn't know what to do with myself. Things were too close, and the week weighed on me in unexpected ways.

Last Sunday we threw a party for Sarah and Curtis who are getting married in a couple of short weeks (!!!). We'd been keeping a really big secret from them for a few months, and let me tell you - it wasn't an easy thing to do.

Our clandestine quilt-meetings were bittersweet - it was so fun getting together regularly to work on this in a big group, but it was tough not having Sarah there. But sometimes you have to make sacrifices for the greater good.
The quilt is double-sided, enormous, and was quite the undertaking, but you know what? We are kind of crafty superheroes :)
A week from today, I will be on my way to Europe for 9 days. I'm so excited, but it would really be nice if time would slow down! Things are happening waaaaaaay too fast.
