So the weekend was a good one (and long). Since most of you were around on Thanksgiving, I won’t spend much time on that. But I will try to post some pictures later!
Friday, we did get up at 5:30 and drive up to Bethel Rd. to see what MicroCenter’s line was like. I am a morning person, but not necessarily a social person at that hour. We got up there to see a line that was crazy long…outside the store! So Eric just decided to get back into the car and drive home. I will admit that I was grumpy about the whole thing. Thankfully, he was smart enough to put me back to bed when we got home at 6:30 (after he sent an email to his brothers telling them of our unsuccessful trip), and I slept until 9:00 (which is VERY late for me!).
After we were both up and around, we headed out to the farm for the rest of the day. We chatted with his mom and brother, saw the new calves (one was about 22 hours old!), goofed off for a while, and then had another family dinner with the Hogues. It wasn’t terribly exciting, and I wore out pretty quickly. We left about 10:30 to come home and arrived about midnight. It was very nice to sleep in our own beds and just be home when we got up!
Saturday I cleaned the house some and spent the bulk of the day putting up Christmas decorations (perhaps I’ll put up pics of that stuff, too). We went out for supper and wandered around some stores for the evening before heading home. Church was Sunday morning. We were there by 8:00, got home about 11:30. I made chicken tacos for lunch, cleaned up the kitchen, read the newspaper and did the puzzles, worked on Christmas stuff for a bit, then started the laundry. I actually finished most of it (and ironed, too!). I watched the end of Singin’ in the Rain while I ironed. I folded clothes while watching The Brothers Grimm, which Eric had Netflixed, but it’s not that great, really. And I watched the end of Legally Blonde just before going to bed. And that was the weekend!
Since it souds like you’re about done with your decorating, can you come help with mine? I don’t know when we’re going to get around to it…maybe next week!!This week I have Christmas program practice and a wedding…not too much!!
^ LOL ^
I watched Legally Blonde a few years ago, but I was reminded last night how funny it is. “It’s hard to get into Harvard Law?”
And I feel good because they left for vacation this morning for a week!!
This is why I don’t usually allow for such family time: they came over Saturday night to help with the decorating. I thought she’d like being asked over for that. Sunday afternoon, she leaves a message saying she has some ornaments for our tree, and she’s going to bring them over. But we shouldn’t worry about listening for her, because she’s just going to come over and use her key to leave them inside our house. She’s just got too much to do before dinner, so she can’t wait for us to get the door. ?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!! “Give her an inch, she’ll take a mile” is stuck in my head. Lucky for her, she apparently changed her mind, because I searched my house for this box, even though we’d BEEN there the whole afternoon, thinking she’d been in there somewhere!! If I’d found it, she would have heard about using that key when she hadn’t been asked to! But she just decided to bring the box to dinner and give it to us then. (Which to me, was more logical anyway, seeing as she’d had SOO much to do that afternoon!)
I like Legally Blonde.
Sounds like something Kyle would have gotten me to do with him, and he would have made the same decision to go home!!
I saw part of Legally Blonde, too. I actually kind of like it….
Sorry about the unsuccessful trip! We probably wouldn’t have waited in that line, either!
