Weekend Talk

Why do the weekends go so fast? We need to work on finding a way to slow down time from Friday afternoon until Monday morning, to make them last longer.

So, I had a good weekend. J had to go into work on Friday night because of a storm that was forecasted to come through. He spent the night there, and then he had to work his shift on Saturday, which ended up going long, so he left Friday at about 10:30 at night, and didn't get home until about Midnight on Saturday night. I missed him a lot. It's amazing how used I've gotten to having him there, it really is. A hole is left in the house when he's gone. Stupid work.

Anyway, while he was gone, I did some laundry and I played some Sims and I watched some General Hospital and some back episodes of Medium. I also found out the hard way that you can't wash a shower curtain in the washing machine - at least not in one that you can't remove the agitator from, and not on the regular cycle. It came out looking much cleaner on the inside, but it was also shredded. Oops! So I had to take an unscheduled trip into town to buy a new shower curtain at Family Dollar. Hee. Lesson learned - next time I'll just throw the thing away and buy new without trying to clean it first.

I also started working on the new baby blanket. I like it. The colors aren't typical baby colors, but they go well together, and it's very soft and best of all, it's going to work up much quicker than the last one I made! (That's the difference between a pattern that calls for mostly double crochet, instead of all single crochet like the last one.) I hope you like it when it's done, Michelle. :) I found a mauve colored yarn at Walmart that was what you had originally asked for, so I bought that, and a soft pink and a light tan and a darker tan. It sounds weird, but they're all colors that were in what you picked out online, or that you had asked for, and they really do work well together.

Anyway. Yesterday J was actually home, yay! So we hung out and watched TV and went to Jrecks Subs for lunch and ate too many peanuts (that last one was just me) and watched the NASCAR race (that was mostly him) and played the Sims (that was all me). And bemoaned the fact that our weekend was one hour shorter, because of the time change. It makes Sunday feel so short! Sigh. And getting up this morning was horribly hard. One hour makes a huge difference, it really does. Oh well. At least now we have sunshine until after 7:00 - when the sun deigns to come out, that is.

And now I'm done rambling. So, bye!
