Blogger's block

I finally have some time to devote to the blog. Molly is in bed. I don't have to work tonight. But I can't seem to come up with anything to say!

This has happened before. Usually I just post a few pictures of Molly and call it a day. But I only have 1 new pic on my phone and I've already texted it to half of my friends and family.

What's a girl to do? Shall I just post a quick list of our latest news and call it a day? Here's what's been happening:

• My parents finally made it up to Evanston for the summer. They were delayed a few weeks after my dad was caught in a grill explosion and suffered pretty severe burns on his lower legs. Poor Dad! He's recovering slowly, but I think is feeling well enough to go fishing with his friends this weekend, so that is a good sign
• Speaking of Evanston...Betsy and Archie (and James) found a house!! It's right by the stadium, just about a mile from our house. I took a little jog there and back last weekend and was so happy while I was running, just thinking about all the good times we're going to have these next few years as neighbors. Sigh. Life is good
• Unfortunately, when one sister moves in, the other will move on. Sniff sniff. Susie is graduating business school in a couple of weeks, getting married a few weeks after that, and then moving back to the city to enjoy the rest of her 20s in style. Oh, and did I mention she'll also be starting a new job? Big changes underfoot
• Jason has been as busy as a bee these last few weeks. He's got a whole screen printing operation set up in our basement and has been drawing, layering, and printing most nights in preparation for the Evanston Art Fest in July. I'm his assistant, which means I'm fairly busy too, handing him new pieces of paper and then laying the freshly printed sheets in careful rows to dry
• Molly is Molly. She's a singing, dancing, building, whining, babbling, laughing, crying, running ball of almost-3-year-old energy
• Our Blackhawks playoffs party was cancelled due to a severe weather warning, but the game is still ON and going to overtime. When I started writing this post, we were down 3-1 and I was only half paying attention to the game. And then we were down 3-2 and I was only half paying attention to what I was writing. And now it's 3-3 and time for me to cut this blog post short. Go Hawks!!!!
