It’s been a long weekend, and I’m not ready for work to start back up again today. I needed another couple of days off!
Friday was a very busy day from beginning to end. I got up early and drove down to get my hair re-cut. The last cut I got was a bad one, and there was not shape/style to my hair. As it has grown out, the bad cut became more and more obvious. SO I went a month backwards on the growing out my hair process, but at least it should be nicer now.
After that was a normal Friday: dept. meeting, class, lunch, class, class, taking care of various students’ needs. And then I had to make a quick trip to my mom’s office for a final housekeeping detail from last term. And THEN I got to go home. No wonder I didn’t make it on to Xanga very much on Friday!
Friday night was relaxing on the couch, watching television. On Saturday, I knitted. All day. I did, however, finish the blanket for Karen’s shower. My BIL Ryan came over, so Eric could help him build his new computer. They spent the day on that. In the evening, we ordered a pizza and watched the Bourne Ultimatum. Not bad, though I had some slightly-scary dreams that were directly based on that movie!
Sunday was church and then Mom and Deb arrived. We drove up to Erik’s parents’ house for Karen’s shower. She got some nice things there, too. So now she’ll just have to take inventory and start taking things back if necessary. We drove home about 4:30, so we got to Columbus about 6:30. Earlier in the day, I was thinking we might make it to small group last night, but I was too tired (and late) by the time we actually got home. So Eric and I watched television and went to bed. Very nice!
Today should be pretty low-key, I think. Normal CU schedule and then Eric has a dinner at church tonight for orchestra. So I’ll be on my own. We shall see what sorts of trouble I get into. One thing for sure, though…I will NOT be knitting this evening!
Happy Monday to you all!
^THAT might be a little too much Ross. NEVER enough Phoebe, though….^
over the weekend, i had a dream about all of the characters in friends, which is likely a direct result of watching nearly all of Season 4 on saturday morning.
Yes, CU is in session today. But I console myself with the knowledge that I’ll be done completely on the first weekend of May when everyone else has 6 more weeks of school!
^ Don’t worry, they’ll have a special chapel for MLKJr. ^
I have today off, though.
I hate when I have dreams based directly on a movie. How annoying.
^Yeah^ What kind of Communist school IS that??????? I used to cross-stitch constantly. Then……I just got tired. I was thinking at the beginning of your blog that you got the blanket finished for the shower she’d already HAD! That would be my style!! Way to go!
Wait–CU has school today? It’s a national holiday!
Hope you enjoy a relaxing evening.
I cross stitched all day on Saturday! I had to re-do one of the twin’s wall hanging outline. It’s almost finished now so I can start filling in the boxes, again. I’ll use the other one for someone who won’t have any others next to it since it will be a little different than the “usual” ones!
Sounds like a lot of knitting! But at least you got it done! I’m going to start cross-stitching Ian’s wall hanging pretty soon – fun, fun!!
