Okay, due to popular demand I figured I should post this where you all can see it. Those of you on the list are already aware, Carl's mom was diagnosed with colon cancer about 3 weeks ago. She's having surgery tomorrow afternoon to get rid of it. We're told that she'll be in the hospital for about a week and then out of commission at home for 3-4 weeks if everything goes well. We covet your prayers in this situation.
Foster care - We're one visit away from being licensed! We still have a couple of things to do at home to make sure we're really ready, but the light at the end of the tunnel is shining brightly. We were informed that we'll probably get called for a placement the same day that we're licensed. The state of IL is really short on FP's, so if it's something you've been thinking about, by all means, do it!
Milford Project - is still going, I think the mechanicals are mostly in place and hopefully work will really be picking up soon. The quilts are still in progress, I'm meeting with a bunch of girls Saturday and will take along the black quilt to see if I can finish that darn Jersey block. It's awful.
Lollapalooza - we've got our reservations for the Travel Lodge by Grant Park. Once again I decided it would be better to give up comfort than to be farther away. I just couldn't see staying at the Congress again. Tickets aren't on sale yet, but I hear they're doing the early bird souvenir tickets differently this year, maybe with a lottery. I'm not sure how I feel about that, after having been a part of last year's early bird fiasco. Maybe our chances will be better with this. Either way, we're going! :) I'm gonna cry if MGMT isn't there.
Darkroom fun - I've been working on a new project for the Russian's dad. He brought me back a box of old negatives from the house in Kansas City. So far they're really funny, lots of fashionable types and old cars and stuff. I'm planning on taking the contact prints to him tomorrow, but I still have a few hundred contacts left to print before I have them all. I made some new prints off an older roll of my own film this weekend. There's still just something addicting about processing my own film/prints.
Work - same old stuff. Nothing new to report here, really.
Hair Show - we'll be back in Nashville for the first weekend in May this year!
I think that's it. Happy Friday!
