Happy Weekend

I do love a Friday off! Molly is officially done with exams, so she is no longer stressed out, but she's also come down with what we believe is a sinus infection (thanks to the aforementioned stress + allergies + lack of sleep). If it's not one thing, it's another! She is, understandably, sleeping in late today, and provided she feels up to it, we're going to the movies to see The Devil Wears Prada 2 with my mother later this afternoon. In the meantime, though I've taken the day off from work, I'll be up to my usual non-work activities today: a run, cleaning the bathroom, doing some laundry. And of course there will be some knitting. If we do go to the movie, I'll be taking my brother's socks with me.

As of Thursday afternoon, I was about an inch and a half past the completion of the gusset decreases. My brother's feet are 10.75 inches long, so there's still quite a bit of foot to go! It'll be good movie knitting or, if we stay home, good reading-while-Ruthie-naps knitting.

We had cooler weather this week, but we're supposed to get back to the 80s and may even hit 90 on Monday! I'm picking up the plants I ordered from our synagogue's plant sale on Sunday and am hoping it's safe to plant them -- I never would have expected we'd get frost warnings in May! We have no big plans for the weekend, but our neighborhood business district has an art fair happening this weekend (which always seems to bring on the hot weather), so I expect we'll stroll through at some point to see if there's anything interesting. There's also some filming going on in our neighborhood, pretty much across the street from our street, so perhaps we'll spot some actors on our walks.

I hope you're able to relax, get some sunshine, and do something you enjoy this weekend. And to leave you with a little eye candy, I present the first rose of the season to bloom on our last remaining rose bush:
