Wow, a person gets a three-day weekend and she thinks that makes it entirely okay to just NOT POST TO HER BLOG AT ALL. Shame on her. She should be ashamed of herself.
So what did I do with all the wonderful, lazy, stretch-inducing time this weekend? Actually, pretty darn little. But isn’t that what extra long weekends are for? To do nothing and relax and indulge?
Actually, we did go somewhere. Kile’s sister’s new husband’s family (you follow all that?) has a cabin in a town a little ways northwest of here called Portola. Very cute little down, lots of trees, very pretty. As my husband’s family was spending the weekend there, they invited us to come up on Sunday to hang out so we did. It’s only about a forty minute drive for us, so no sweat. Plus, Liam rides in the car like a champ (just like his big brother) so it was an easy ride.
While we were there, we played with their dogs, Oreo and Rudy. Very sweet, they were. The boys all went sledding while I stayed back with my mother in law and Liam so that Liam could take a nap. We had dinner there (sloppy joes!) and dessert (ice cream sundaes!) and watched some tv (my new brother in law is a shameless channel surfer so I saw varying degrees of “Grease: You’re the One that I Want”, “Forrest Gump” and “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”). A very good time was had by all and it was a neat way to spend a Sunday.
Yesterday, the whole gang of us did some shopping around town and grabbed some lunch. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but for homebodies like ourselves, it’s pretty much like having a full schedule. We had to go to this particular shopping center that in the past we have vowed to never visit ever again. Not once, but TWICE. After the second trip, we left the parking lot feeling particularly homicidal.
Yeah, we don’t play well with others, especially when the others have absolutely no freaking clue how to behave in polite society. Ahem. I like to think I’m not a store-snob, but if this shopping center is any judge of that, then maybe I am. After that we pretty much went home as the day was waning. We watched some (most) of the Golden Globes and I was annoyed at a good portion of it. But then, I’m always annoyed at the Golden Globes. Why the heck do I keep watching it?? I don’t know… “Borat” doesn’t seem like THAT good a movie and I really don’t get what all the fuss over “Ugly Betty” is, since I gave it two months and pretty much thought it was dull as dishwater.
And now it’s Tuesday and I’m all sad because that means I have to work and stuff and that’s NO FUN. I want my weekend back.

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
