Sunday Morning
Sep. 15th, 2002 09:28 amJust a few notes in my weekend to this point. Of course, my weekend tends to overlap onto Monday since hubby's days off are Sunday and Monday.
Friday night, I chatted with a friend about Northville and reviewed my posts for the coming months. It's coming along nicely.
Afterwards, my sister stopped by. We went out for late night shakes, but ended up at Hires Big H nibbling garlic bread and playing with root beer floats. Critique? Hires has delicious floats. The one I had at A&W sucked because they ruined their yummy root beer with a scoop of cheap, freezer burned ice cream. Hires had delicious, soft serve topping the soda. Of course, I paid for the yummy one. Er, technically I didn't pay. Hubby took off with my cash so my sister had to spot me, but the point is it cost more for the yummy one - and was worth every penny.
Yesterday, Saturday, was a big fucking day. Got up, unpacked a bunch of boxes while trying to keep baby out of everything. A box of assorted kitchen items (cookie cutters, bottle openers, cheese graters, that sort of thing) fell over and the contents threw themselves across the floor. You should have seen them diving under the furniture! So, I'm trying to pick it up faster than the little one can grab sharp items and the cats can find chew toys.
In the early afternoon, we went to a party in honour of my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary. Wow. 50 years. It seems amazing and tiny, but hubby and I are 10% there. It was a lovely affair and everyone doted on our little one. That brings a grin to a mother's face. (btw, for more information on little one, check out her webpage.
After that, we hurried home (I went with sister since hubby was working) and met hubby (aka Sick Monkey, for future reference) at home so we could dash off to the Utah State Fair. A bit of good luck, at the anniversary function, I mentioned to another sister that we planned to go to the Fair so she gave us some free passes she'd been toting around. That was a lovely treat. It gave me more to spend at the fair, but alas, the fair sucked and we didn't buy a damned thing.
The sickest thing about that is last year we went to the Idaho State Fair (since we lived there and I was working a booth anyway). That one was better. It had stuff I could kick myself for not buying. Besides, it was less crowded, had better parking, and the people were more polite.
Most annoying things? People who will whack into your stroller because they think that you're walking to slow, only to find out it's the person in front of you who stopped to look at a pancake turner that's the one holding up traffic. People who shove through the crowds like they're in a hurry and then stop at the water massage booth for relaxation. The fact that 60% of the booths were As Seen On TV commercials. People who bump into you and then say "Excuse you!" with a nasty attitude. I could go on all day, but I'll end with 6 booths showing swords we have seen and plan to order from catalogs we receive at home, but not a single booth with a whip! (The Idaho State Fair had 4 booths selling whips). DAMN ME FOR NOT BUYING THEM THEN!
