What I did this weekend

As you're well aware, it's the night before the night before Christmas. This weekend was crazy busy with last minute getting ready-type activities, as I'm sure it was for many of you. So a brief recap:

Friday:

Dah had the Geej because Friday was the first day of a 2-week stretch that the Geej's school is closed. So Friday evening, I ran a couple of shopping-related errands after work, and then BH and I went out for a nice dinner and went to a club to hear some music. That's right, fools! We actually had a grown-up's night out, and it was nice!

Saturday:
  • Vacuumed and washed car
  • Paid storage room bill
  • Deposited $46 refund check from Austin Radiological Association at the bank
  • Tried to get a bracelet repaired; Was unsuccessful
  • Got a pedicure (the first one since September...YIKES!)
  • Read a chapter-and-a-half in the book I'm almost finished with
  • Ate migas
  • Did two loads of laundry
  • Changed sheets
  • Cleaned GJ's bathroom and bedroom
  • Swept tons of leaves off the front porch
  • Got a bunch of stocking stuffers at CVS
  • Went for a nice walk with Shiloh and BH (it was nice except the wind was blowing a gazillion miles an hour)

  • Saw this on our walk--

  • And this--
  • Watched Earl enjoy a sunbeam
  • Made a menu and shopping list for Christmas eve, Christmas brunch, and Christmas evening
  • Ordered Chinese food for delivery
  • Drank wine
  • Took a shower
  • Watched "Knocked Up"
Sunday:

  • Went to Whole Foods to get 98% of the stuff that was on my shopping list I made on Saturday
  • Ate lunch
  • Folded laundry
  • Went to HEB and got the other 2% of stuff that was on my shopping list
  • Took a long drive
  • Took a short nap
  • Looked in on and fed Bookhart's cats (They're doing fine, by the way.)
  • Was reunited with The Geej
  • Made frito pie
  • Drank wine
  • Bathed the Geej
  • Watched Milo and Otis with the Geej who told be to be on the lookout because, "Those animals poop out babies in this movie."
And now here we are. Tomorrow I've got to work most of the day. Bummer. But tomorrow evening, we're going to try (once again) to make some Christmas cookies for Santa, and then it's showtime after Geej goes to bed.

I can't wait until Christmas morning...

Man, that sounds so awesome!
Friday: Stayed home with my parents and sickly, clingy, hacking, feverish child for third day in row.
Saturday: Took sickly, clingy, hacking, feverish child to doctor, then Dell Children's Medical Center. Got antibiotics to treat pneumonia. Slept pretty well for once.
Sunday: Went to church to witness baptism of niece, had lunch, and returned to Dell Children's Medical Center for follow-up which took FOOKIN forever.
The good news is that sweet Lucy's on the mend. But no Christmas parties, Trail of Lights, 37th St., niece's baptism party, cookie baking, etc. for us (maybe no extended family Christmas). Bleh.
(but things are better.)
