Ribbons!

I’m feeling somewhat better today. Yesterday I had Endocrine lecture in the morning, then the Mental Health final exam in the afternoon. Final exams are awesome—we get to LEAVE when we’re done, so I left school around 1:35 and got home around 2pm. I spent some quality time with a needle and thread, working on ribbons for our pinning ceremony. Since it’s tradition for new grads to be pinned by a nurse, many people have their mom, aunt, or grandmother pin them. Older hands + 1” diameter pin with a press-on back = much fumbling and frustration. Someone suggested putting each pin on a ribbon that could be put around the person’s neck, to avoid the fumbling/embarrassment, and my inner child said, “Craft project? Ooo, ooo, pick me! Pick me!” so I put together a sample with lime green ribbon (something lime green at teenie’s house? Never!) and a flower pin, to which the class officers responded, “sweet!” So I have 25 yards of navy blue ribbon, MUWAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! Apparently, sewing and/or crafty crap helps. Also I went to Meijer and found a very nice green (no way!) flannel shirt on the clearance rack for $2. It’s not quite bisi, but it’s very soft, and green (giggle). Tomorrow I go to KVO, a school for developmentally disabled people age 18-26. Should be a good time, and if it’s not, it’ll be over by 2:30.
