Yes, another weekend in April and more moving into Mom Bozyk's newest apartment. On Friday the College Hunk movers arrived in the morning to start loading furniture. It only took about 2 hrs to wrap and load up all the furniture. Fortunately the drive was just across the street and then another two hours to put all the furniture back into the new apartment. They also helped me place the new floor rug that Tom had ordered and was delivered to our house the night before which we put down in the sitting room before bringing in all the furniture. I was very excited to see that most of the furniture fit into the new apartment. And it looks terrific! I spent the afternoon with Mom B again, pushing small cart loads of clothing into the apartment. And I put Mom to work again hanging it all up in the closets! Plus we took some time to meet some of the new staff. Mom's move in date was scheduled for April 20th.
I could not spend the evening with Mom since I had scheduled an outing with our friends participating in Trivia Night at church. The church youth group put on a fund raiser Trivia Pub Night. You could have up to 8 people on your team and I was happy to see it did not take much to gather 8 participants together among our group of friends. Allison even came up with a terrific team name, Team Redundancy Team. We actually were one man short! Our neighbor Gloria had to work late, so I tried talking Scott into joining us. He was not interested in spending anymore time at the school in which he works, plus he had a television project to work on. So we only had 7 team members, but it did not slow us down. Turns out we had the perfect mix of trivia knowledge between us. And we were competing against more than 100 other people that showed up that night. Allison wished she could have come home for the event, but she was off to northern Maryland for a frisbee tournament. She enjoys playing Trivia night at the local University bars. Our game was set up very similar. There were two rounds with 5 questions each, all different subjects. You bet on your answers, and pick the amount depending on much you think you have the right answer. There are also bonus points. So we got through the first round, and during intermission we played a trivia game where we had to come up with the name of movies based on posters, and match cars with commercial slogans. They announced the leader after intermission, and to our surprise, it was our team! So far we had gotten most of all of the questions right, including 100% on the intermission quiz! Next we had round two, and again we were very successful! Just one more bonus question which none of us got right! So our Team Redundancy Team Won! I was hoping for a European trip, or large cash amount, but we had to settle on Starbucks cards. Second place winners got Subway. Not sure what 3rd place won(maybe they had to clean up the cafeteria!). Especially since they served pub food during the event. And cheap beer! So we had a lot of fun and came out victorious! I pat myself on the back and take all the credit for our win since I am constantly scheduling games during our holiday get togethers! And this was all on Friday the 13th! By the way, another reason for celebrating April 13th, Sarah Bozyk's Birthday!
On Saturday I spent the morning moving items into Mom's new apartment, including clothes. I had brought home all her dishes and cups and ran them through the dishwasher. I had things to move back to Mom's apartment from the garage and from her old apartment, as well as putting items in her storage unit. I was not able to spend the whole day since Scott and I signed up to attend one of his fellow Boy Scouts Eagle Court of Honor at the local church. We wanted to attend the ceremony to get some ideas for our upcoming event, as well as to support SCott's fellow patrol member, Nathan. We really enjoyed the ceremony and their food and I got some great ideas for putting on SCott's own ceremony. I borrowed some left over court of honor supplies, but I was going to have to work out a different system for some of the candle lighting ceremonies since the troop uses two very large boards and I could not transport them to the Glory Days restaurant where Scott's program was scheduled.
On Sunday I had a little bit of time to move a few more of mom's items to her new apartment. But then in the afternoon I was off to GS camp to sing with the GS choir. The choir put together an adorable musical based on the songs from Mary Poppins. It tells the story of the Brownies-little fairies that do good deeds and clean and tidy up the house. Fortunately I did not have to memorize any music, and just sang with the chorus. The little girls did all the work by memorizing the songs and lines. They acted out the story and some very dedicated parents made adorable costumes and props. And fortunately it was not a very long performance, only about 45 mins. I really could use a break!
I kept borrowing Tom and Scott when I could to help with the move and my van. But Tom was still busy with his latest class, and Scott is slowly making it to the end of school. He had his last NHS meeting that he needed to attend. He finished all his volunteer work, so no worries. They voted for next years board members. On Thursday, Scott and I ran off to the Mall for the County Schools Art Show. One of Scott's art pieces was chosen for the display at the Mall. I loved seeing Scott's work on display, but I really enjoyed the free cookies and juice boxes too! And dinner out with Scott afterwards!
Also Happy Birthday to Sarah Bozyk on Friday the 13th(a terrific number!).
