Weekend recap...
Friday was a lazy day...
Slept until 7:30 - had coffee, set up the deck chairs, watched Good Morning America. Showered, gve myself a manicure and pedicure, then took Silas Marner out to the deck and finished reading it while I dried!
12:00 - I came in and fixed lunch, then cleaned the kitchen, checked email, and went back outside. Marvin worked on the pool pump a bit, then we took turns vacuuming the bottom and skimming the top.
3:00 - Finished the pool opening and cleaning, changed clothes and went to Ultra Modern Pool and Patio for chemicals.
5:30 - Met Chas, Shane, and Candy at Larkspur for dinner, then sat and talked and laughed until about 7:15 or so.
7:15 - Headed home, took the long way with the top down! Channel hopped until about 10:30, then went to bed.
Saturday -
5:45 - The alarm went off and I made my way to the shower. We got around and left the house at 7:30.
8:00 - Picked Chas up at her house and headed for Coffeyville. Shane didn't go this time, he is absolutely snowed under with work stuff, his final paper for school, etc. I am so glad he only has one class left! He desperately needs a break! Hopefully he will be able to meet us for supper though!
10:30 - Arrived at Dad and Becky's house. Becky had a fresh pan of brownies waiting...still warm and delicious!
11:30 - Kami arrived with the new baby and we all took turns holding him! What a doll! A short time later, Dawn called and Kami went to pick her up. After Dawn got there...we spent the next hour trying to figure out how to put the "Pack and Play" (that we took to the baby) together. We finally gave up and decided it would be a fantastic job for the baby's daddy to do...at home...later! :) We visited for another hour or so, then ate lunch and headed back to Wichita (via Ark City). I slept all the way to Ark City...I can't believe I did that. Shane met us at Green Door, and we had a super good dinner of great Mexican food, with the absolute best chips on earth! After dinner we went out to visit Mom and Bill, then headed home!
11:00 - Finally hit the bed again!!
Sunday -
7:45 - The alarm went off and I ignored it until 8:20.
8:20 - Finally got up and in the shower.
10:00 - Headed across town to church.
10:30 - The Easter service was very good...although, for some reason I had trouble concentrating. My attention was diverted repeatedly by silly things. The music was wonderful though.
12:00 - Back home for lunch! Marvin cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill! They were great! I baked fries in the oven...not so great! But...the cookies and cream cake and chocolate ice cream made up for the nappy fries! The kids checked out their Easter bags full of chocolate, and we watched TV for a while. Shane brought his laptop and worked on his last paper for a bit, then he headed home to hopefully get some much needed shut-eye! I copied some addresses from Chas's address book so that I could get Shane's announcements ready to send out, and Chas went home soon after Shane did.
4:00 - We vacuumed the pool again (Marvin vacuumed while I watched), and I fixed scrambled eggs and hashbrowns for a quick supper, then worked on typing in the list of addresses to send to Shane for approval.
6:00 - Marvin and I planned out the invitations for the after graduation party, decided what to serve, and kicked around some fun things to do to make it more festive.
7:00 - We watched West Wing...only 4 episodes left (I think)...too bad, it is a good show and there aren't a lot of those on anymore. With summer coming, we won't spend much time watching TV anyway though.
8:44 - Almost time for bed...I hate to see this time off end...but it has been good! Hopefully, good enough to hold me through the week from hell ahead...NASD audit all week.
Be Well!
