Speaking of crafting, today we needed our glue gun and it was absolutely buried in the craft closet. That led to a few bad words before I realized it was actually an 'opportunity' to declutter and reorganize. I hadn't planned on that today, so we didn't have time to finish the whole thing, but three of the six shelves are ever-so-much better, so yay for that.
One of the reasons we were needing craft supplies is we were trying to make a Souper Man.
"What's that?" you ask? Well, it's just a little table top attention-getter for an event we're helping host in a couple of weeks. We need folks to bring soup to share to the gathering. I'm of the opinion that putting an 8.5x11 flyer on a wall at a school where nearly every wall is covered in some sort of display is kind of a lost cause. So, I'm always trying to think of ways to literally stand out - something 3D to hopefully catch attention. Enter Souper Man. ;)
Decidedly less artsy but oh-so-satisfying, I did manage to finish painting the hallway ceiling downstairs today, while the kids were studying Japanese. (Sadly, at this point, I'm of little use to them when it comes to that.)
Out with the old nicotine 'colored' ceiling and in with Casper, a crisp white from Miller Paint.
IN TRANSIT: Mark your calendars next Monday (Nov. 11) for a rare chance to see a solar system spectacle. Mercury will be transiting our sun that day. This won't happen again for 13 years, so it's kind of a big deal.
According to timeanddate.com, weather permitting, the transit will be visible for 2 hours and 56 minutes, from 7:08 to 10:04 a.m. Pacific Standard Time. Time to dust off the solar eclipse glasses, cross our fingers, and try to check it out then.
