Ramblings...weather, scarves, hot chocolate, Sunday school, and the upcoming week

We've had a very weird/winterish spring.  March came in like a lion and out like a lamb...and then there has been ridiculously cold April.  April 19th - we saw snow!  It was mostly flurries but add to the flurries a blustery Artic wind.  Brrrr...I'm cold just thinking about it.

We've, also, experienced several (SEV-ER-AL) rainy, gray, overcast, Eyeore-ish days.  [Eyeore from Winnie the Pooh.  Whenever I think of Eyeore, I picture the vintage-looking Eyeore.  Purple-grayish.  Cuddly.  I love Eyeore.  Most of the time, A.A. Milne gave Eyeore a pessimistic attitude...but every once in a while, Eyeore took on a cup-half-full attitude and it always, ALWAYS cracked me up!]

Random?  Yes.  You know you love my randomness.

I have three infinity scarves to work on. 
The 1st is black with white polkadots;
the 2nd is solid black with the other side a black-white-&-pink print
and the 3rd is a mystery to even me, the sewer.  I've not purchased the fabric for the third.  You see, it's a birthday present...and every time I go meandering through the fabric store, I've not found a yard of fabric that screams/hollers/shouts the birthday girl's name.  The other two scarves -- the fabric seemed perfect.  This third scarf...(sigh)...I'm not sure what to do...so I am waiting.  A little bird (i.e. another sewer in the Rockford JoAnn Fabric's store) told me to take a roadtrip to Janesville or Algonquin - as both of those stores have larger selections.  Hmmmm...  I'd be all-over the Algonquin roadtrip, except...I learned this week that my beloved Caribou Coffee on Randall Road closed up shop on the 14th of this month.  Closed.  Gone.  Bye-bye gluten-free dark chocolate hot chocolate. 

Speaking of hot chocolate - yesterday I made some deeeelish hot chocolate using my Penzey's Dutch-Pressed Cocoa, almond milk, sugar in the raw, and gf vanilla.  Now that I think about it - I might make myself another mugful.

Yesterday I realized this week is the last full week of April...  Wow - this month has flown by!  Ridiculous!  I said it like this, "Reeeeeeee-dic-uuuuuuu-lus!" 

Today was my second Sunday in grown-up Sunday school.  Our class is studying Bible prophesy.  If I could go back in time to my 20-year old-self, I would say, "Angie Good, take the Bible Prophesy class!!!"  I didn't.  Instead I took Romans and Life of David and General Epistles.  All excellent Bible courses at P Double C.  This Sunday school class has been sooooo interesting.  For example, never did I know that Israel is only 65 years old.  I guess I always thought the country existed for forever...  It hasn't. 

This upcoming week, I have several FUNNISH events...
1. Monday night - thrifting with Rhonda
2. Tuesday night - my last sewing class (Sniffle.)
3. Wednesday night - Bible study
4. Thursday night - hit the gym...and hope it doesn't hit me back!
5. Friday night - decorate for the ladies banquet...which will also include laughter and fruit skewers.  It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye!
6 Saturday - Spring banquet
