I did not blog yesterday, and therefore I suppose that means
that technically I failed NaNoBloMo. However, since my goal this month was
blogging Mo’, like, More, I think I’m still on track. This is post 24! In 25
days! My last 25 posts took me … 2.5 months. So there.
Anyhow, This weekend was so busy that when the alarm went
off this morning I really thought it was Sunday. Where did my weekend go? We
are normally busy but somehow. Yeah. I want more weekend. It also didn’t help
that when the alarm sounded this morning I was in the middle of a dream where
my twitter friends and myself were interviewing babysitters and Liam Hemsworth
was a candidate. It was a good dream.
Saturday we went to a birthday party at 9am (yes, that’s
right) and that’s where the dock/fishing photos on Saturday’s blog were from. The
boys enjoyed fishing a lot (except for having no patience for actually leaving
a line in the water for more than half a second) and my dad messaged me on
Sunday to let me know that he had picked up fishing poles for the boys last
month for Christmas, so that’s funny. Hopefully he’ll take the kids fishing
too, because I’m not a fan.
I got my tree up Saturday afternoon too – that lone wolfing
thing that was supposed to happen Friday night didn’t happen, which I should be
happy about but I really wanted to get things done that C didn’t want to deal with
quite yet, so instead I had to request from a grumpy C to get the tree from the
attic. I made up for it by letting him spend *four* hours cleaning and
waxing his car. He was a happy camper. And I got to listen to Christmas music
in an otherwise quiet house, so I think it was a win-win. Henry’s asked
approximately 1,871 times where the star is, so I guess I need to decorate it
today (I put on this year’s Disney ornaments and it’s a pre-lit but an otherwise
naked tree).
Saturday night C and I got a date night, and celebrated it
at Mitchell’s Fish Market for dinner (I had the Seafood Americana, which is not
exactly something I would normally order in case it was spicy (description: Georges
Bank sea scallops, Cajun shrimp, spinach and mushrooms sautéed in a shellfish
butter sauce and served over roasted redskin potatoes) but good Lord that was a
good dinner. My two cocktails were fabulous too. We then went to see Catching
Fire, which was also amazing – I’d say it was a pretty successful date night.
(Catching Fire also made me excited about my reading goals for next year, which
I can’t remember if I’ve blogged about yet. Will check back and then do so if
the answer is no. But I want to re-read. Must. Re-read.)
Sunday we decided to see if there were any pre-Thanksgiving
deals at the outlet mall (a resounding NO) and we got some warm clothes in
proper sizes so the boys don’t have to wear all their small long-sleeves from
last year. I assume it’s probably silly to wear long sleeves that aren’t
exactly Long Sleeves anymore. I got some good deals at the Loft Outlet, which
made me happy (yay new clothes!) I’m going to have to ignore the size I just
bought new pants in though. We spent a few hours at Disney, but it was swamped
and cold and we opted out of staying too long.
TODAY I have to do my Thanksgiving food shopping because I
forgot this weekend and goodness, I should probably stale that bread, yes? And
the boys are getting their flu shots so I hope for no adverse reactions to
that. And I’m going to locate the ornaments in the attic (this sounds like our
attic is huge instead of a glorified crawlspace, yes?) and listen to Christmas
music while I decorate and happy holiday season!!
How was your weekend?
