I had intended on recycling the one calendar entry, but it's been so long (September/October) since I posted a calendar that I figured I'd better start a new entry. 
At the moment, I don't have a lot going on, but I hope to change that, so this one will be bumped with a new date as things are added.
Monday, May 18, 7 PM: I have every intention to get to Nicola's Books in Ann Arbor to get a copy of The Language of Bees and meet author, Laurie R. King. I was already a fan, for years and years, but I like her even more now because she was the first person to friend me on Goodreads (because I had most of her books on my shelves!).
Okay, not fair! Other favorite authors are going to be there in the same day at noon, with another new release that I want. Is it a holiday? (Checked -- not in US) I am bummed. Cannot justify calling in sick to work (this early) to buy a book and meet authors. Need to remind myself that I'm not really the autograph-collecting-meeting-celebs type. Still going to meet Ms. King...I mean, she invited me personally... ;-) ('salright I'm not delusional.)
Monday, May 25: US Memorial Day. Not sure yet, but what I want to do is renew our World of Warcraft accounts for 30 days and play all weekend. If we have a chance to be with people, that would be okay too.
End of the month: nephew J's 8th birthday.

What's Happening? Spring & Summer Edition
Friday, September 12, 2008
What's Happening? Sept - Oct.
Instead of creating a new entry every time there's an addition, I'll probably be updating one calendar entry a month, perhaps changing the date. Hopefully it won't mess up anyone's feed.
Saturday, September 13: Knitterpalooza 2008, Royal Oak. I'll be there around 2 PM.
Tuesday, September 16: Pushing Daisies season 1 available on DVD. You can also watch episodes online for free.
Wednesday, October 1: Pushing Daisies season 2 starts (ABC).
Saturday, October 4: Ghoultide Gathering (Halloween Art Show), Northville
Friday, October 31: Deadline for Orphan Foundation of America (OFA) to receive any Red Scarf donations (scarf deadline only -- you can send money whenever you like!). Oh, and Halloween.

October 31: Halloween. My favorite holiday.

Time for a New Calendar
Some of these things are for me, some of them are for you (FYI).
Right now: Start thinking about the Red Scarf project (link to the blog on the subject). The response has been so overwhelming (yay!) that they don't need as many scarves from each person, so I'm limiting my fiber contribution to one (1) scarf, and then donating $ instead of multiple scarves. I'm also talking with a friend - who was in foster care as a child - about doing the non-Valentine's Day care packages. Later today, I'll update my resource list from the old blog and post it on this site.
Friday, August 1: Signups open for Dish Rag Tag 2. US only, sign-ups close on 8/8 or 3oo participants, whichever comes first. I did such an awful job w/ my dish rag last time that I'm not going to play, but it's something that a lot of people have fun with.
Friday, August 8: IH Contest drawing; my birthday
Saturday, August 23: Craft Show @ Holly Library 9:30 - ?
September 1: Start mailing Red Scarves to OFA. You have until mid-October
September: Viva Pinata 2
Saturday, September 13: Knitterpalooza 2008 (I'm not sure I'll be able to make it, but wanted to "get it out there" for everyone else!)
October 15: Deadline for Red Scarves' arrival at OFA
October 31: My favorite holiday. I've already ordered some items for the nephews' and nieces' goody bags.
From previous calendars:
Saucy's Wedding Party on 6/26 was a hoot, as was A Fanciful Twist's Mad Tea Party (of the costume variety) on the 28th. The July 4 BBQ in Ohio was more fun than anticipated, plus I finished my first socks. Psych season 2 was released on DVD on 7/8, but I didn't get it until the weekend. Yes indeedy, I watched it all by the season 3 premiere on the 18th. Anita, John and I all enjoyed Hellboy II very much. It didn't make it onto the calendar, but John and I also saw The Dark Knight, and thought it was excellent.

A few more things; calendar
Red Scarf Project: In addition to Interim House, I also support the Red Scarf Project. Norma has a sweet story here, plus an update.
This story made me cry a little. Via needle book.
One more update (I keep editing this post, sorry): Futurama: The Beast with a Billion Backs came out yesterday. Of course we already watched it. Verdict: kooky, but excellent.
Calendar
Thursday, June 26: Saucy's Wedding Party.
Saturday, Jun 28: A Fanciful Twist's Mad Tea Party (of the costume variety).
Friday, July 4: It looks like John & I are heading to Ohio for a BBQ. Should be interesting. I've never partied with a bunch of Libertarians before.
Tuesday, July 8: Psych season 2 released on DVD
Friday, July 11: Hellboy II comes out. One convert (Hi, Anita) is going with us!
Friday, July 18: Psych season starts

Coming Events
Thursday, June 12: John's birthday
Saturday, June 14: Worldwide Knit in Public Day. I'm probably heading to Romeo, to meet up with my buddy Anita.
Thursday, June 26: Saucy's Wedding Party. My post is ready. The problem when you write something in advance: the longer you have to edit it, the more times you read it and the more times you tweak it. My entry has been tweaked a lot, but it's a picture-filled start-to-finish recap, with virtually no drama: just the good stuff.
Saturday, Jun 28: A Fanciful Twist's Mad Tea Party (of the costume variety)
Friday, July 11: Hellboy II comes out. My love for Hellboy cannot be explained. I now have all the animated DVDs and at least the first five volumes of the collected comics (some of which were Valentine's Day presents). Four more weeks to go!
Friday, August 8: IH Contest ends (start date not yet announced -- probably July 1). Oh, it's also my birthday.
Saturday, August 23: Craft Show @ Holly Library 9:30 - ?
September: Viva Pinata 2 (I am such a geek!)
