Long time, No post

But there's a good reason for that. We're soooo shortstaffed at work, that I've been going almost full time. Shifts as long as 11 hours some days. Which, let me tell you, is not fun.
Moving on.
Yesterday at Chez Vik (or, to be politically correct, Chez Vik's Parents) was like Christmas. Except, without the snow, the cheek pinching relatives, and the mass amounts of foodstuffs.
I was reading a quilting magazine in March, and saw an ad for Warm up America. I thought it sounded like a really great idea, but not being American, I searched for a similar Canadian organisation. Vik, meet Blankets for Canada.
So since then, I've been working dilligently to get my little chapter going. It still consists of myself, and a bunch of little old ladies in the local lodge, but that's o.k. with me.
In talking to various people in the organisation, I was told that one of the Calgary ladies had an excess of squares. By excess, I mean twelve garbage bags. Full. Of squares.
Long story short, five of them are now occupying my room.
This my friends, is what 639 eight by eight inch squares look like.
Picture isn't that good, but that's because my "build it myself because I'm too cheap to actually buy one" webcam is on its way out.
Those piles creating a veritable carpet on my (parents) basement floor are each about two feet hight.
Better news still; tomorrow, I'm meeting with the PRESIDENT of the enitre society. Could I be more excited?*She too is bringing me more squares.
There's more stuff that I really should write about, but I wanna go make blankets. Now.
*No, I could not.
