Wow, what a weekend! May is definitely here with great weather so far, and most of my allergies are starting to subside! I've been extremely busy this past few months closing out my experience with Anatomy and Physiology. This week is finals so it will all be over soon! I'm taking a break this summer, to enjoy life and just live...You know what I mean?
Friday I went to see Barack Obama speak here in Charlotte. YES WE CAN!!! YES WE CAN!! Was the electrifying cheer that filled the room as I entered. I've never been to a rally like that before and Iwas just energized just waiting to get to my seat. Barack talked about his background coming from a single mother and having the unique opportunities that are only possible for him and many of us in America. He also spoke about concrete solutions to our dependency on oil. Its very comprehensive and its not just a short term fix to get him through the election. I'm very impressed with his passion and commitment to making life affordable for all of us. "The Closer" Michelle Obama will be here today
closing the deal in Charlotte for the Obama camp. She is a truly a Phenomenal Woman! I was so excited about my experience, I stood in line Saturday for 2 hours to vote early. It was so worth it! If you're in NC don't forget to vote on Tuesday!!
After voting, my friend Rita and I went to my neighborhood's Home Tour. We had a lovely time chatting and viewing homes. I live in a historic neighborhood where the homes were built around the late 1930's and 40's. I wanted to get some ideas as we renovate. After touring we had a nice lunch and she retired for the evening. Me...Mrs. Busy Bee kept moving to go visit my nephews...here's a clip of Sheman being silly! I remember having one of these things. I used to love them!
Now for my WIP.....Mrs. NOB HILL. She's almost done! I've been working on her between 
studying. I suspect I will finish her this week as my relief from preparing for finals. She's in this gorgeous mustard color, Tahki Donegal Tweed. More details when she's an FO. The weather is warming up, so I need to finish her so I can show her off before it gets 80 degrees.
Next project is a pinwheel blanket for my younger sister. We are planning a baby shower for her Memorial Weekend and I can't wait to surprise her with a blanket. She's having her 3rd and final boy! She says they are finished...we'll see about that! They have not picked out a name so they have given me the honor of naming my nephew....I can't believe. I came up with a few names.....what do you guys think about these.....Caleb Jabari Bethea, Caleb Jakobi, Caleb Jadan, or Colin Jabari, Colin Jakobi, Amari Jadan Bethea. I tried to think of names that would suit their tastes as parents and a name the boy could live up to....if you know what I mean..LOL! I'll find out at the shower which name they chose. And now they want me to be their when she has the baby, because my brother-in-Love may not be there. What kind of torture is that for someone that has not given birth yet and hope to do so in the next few years. I told her I would think about that. Nice concept, but don't scare a "sista"...LOL!
Okay that's it for me. Have blessed week!!
