Because the Chief is in heavy-duty study mode (the US Tax Court exam is just 3 months away), I've been looking around for excuses to stay out of the house so he can study with fewer distractions. This weekend was perfect for that - I spent Saturday at a G&S sing an hour's drive away, giving him nearly 12 distraction-free hours. Sunday was another 6 hours, as I headed off to a Regency bonnet-making workshop. I didn't get my bonnet finished, but I did get a good start on it, along with a very pretty bit of ribbon and some ideas for decorating it once I finish wiring the brim. The workshop was at a tea room in a little antique shop out near hunt country. It was a tiny little village, which would make a nice day trip once the Chief gets past The Exam.
Gotta love it - I was able to indulge not just one but two hobbies without feeling guilty about "abandoning" the Chief. No, I was doing him a favor, giving him so many distraction-free study hours. :)
