Weekend was good...
Nov. 8th, 2010 08:15 amWell, my 3 day weekend was nice. I didn't quite accomplish everything I wanted but I rested and that was good. Friday I didn't do anything really except get Momma Huck's and my mom's flights scheduled for christmas. yeah for frequent flyer miles and that american is now flying out of sioux falls. Woot! I really did just laze about most of the day which was good. I did a bit of shopping and got us packed up for coronation, including mustard packaging. For those in the household, the house mustard is my creation with using Ivan's homemade vinegar. Its potent. Just saying. Got Phelan a big batch for his camp and the squeefulness of that moment was awesome. He was very happy.
Coronation was good but it was tiring for me. It was awesome to see Thea and lots of other folks. I guess word hadn't quite gotten around that we are expecting and I guess Viking cloths dont' show much and I guess I'm not really showing much anyway. But the surprised faces were awesome. Lots of folks got to interact with the podling cause my belly button was the source of podlings amusement and push point all day. Thea's reaction was the best I think. I'm really happy with the comfort of the wrap around viking, though I think I need to pin the side for a bit until I'm bigger. After the main courts we headed off to IKEA with Ray/Will and Maria. Will/Ray were getting living rooms stuff. We were purusing baby stuff. Mel found a crib he really likes and that he couldn't make for the price. Plus it turns into a kids bed. So I'm putting that on the list. Lots of other really cute stuff that had me thinking. We picked up bits and bobs of things and a new camping futon. By the time we got to dinner I was very uncomfy. I'm having quite a bit of round ligament pain and stress and the drive home was brutal. Mel massaged my tummy for me but it almost made me cry. I hadn't realized how much it was hurting until he was rubbing. Sighs. But my appointment with Glenn on Sunday helped with the leg pain I've been having while sleeping.
Saturday night I didn't sleep too well (see previous statement). My legs were hurting and ended up getting up to eat at 6am and curling up on the couch and was happy to see a Buffy marathon on. I got mel up about 830 and we had showers and met Will/Ray for Joe's Breakfast. After that we got to see their new house and mel helped will get the new furniture boxes into the house. Posha was very happy to have mel to play with too. We headed out and I then went to Target and Costco. oof, that was busy. But got home, laid down for about 30 mins and then got in on laundry and the like for the week. Mel was doing a bang up job of cleaning the backyard. It really is looking good. The plan for moving the truck is the weekend after Southern. Which should time it pretty good for them coming in to do the concrete.
I managed to get everything washed and got my list going for what I will have to pack for Southern. I also need to leave mel a list since I won't be there for truck packing. Which is just weird to me. But it is what it is. I at least get to be on site Thursday though it will be late. Currently the weather looks to be 70 during the day, upper 30s at night. Pack your warm stuff! I tried on my laurel coat last night and it was just barely buttoning around the tummy. Lol. I will have to get my baronial coat out and modified for Estrella. Please make sure you pack warm stuff to the event and lots of warm socks etc! I also need to finish a handout today for my class which is my version of Tarrach's "How to Make Stuff". I have his handout and his permission to go with it but I need to work it out in my words and its been about 4 years since Ivan and I taught it. LOl. Should be good though.
Mom is also looking to buy me frivolous stuff for xmas. she's not happy with my practical ways. Any ideas folks? Also realize that she needs to shop locally in South Dakota since she doesn't have net access. I'm just not that frivolous or girly so I'm not sure what to put on my list. So any suggestions you guys have is good.
Oh, I did finish #38 which was Candace Robb's "A Spy for the Redeemer" for reading and started #39 which is "Outlaw Demon Wails". Sucked in hard even on the first chapter. I'll probably finish that while I'm in cleveland or finish my prezzie for Momma Huck. Or Both. We shall see.
Last night about 3am Mel got up cause his arms were going numb and butterfly had knocked over the trash (she was after the bacon wrapper from our BLTs). He stayed up and moved to the couch and I curled back up but it was hard to sleep. I had to eat something. Sighs.
I hope to make an appearance at scribble to drop a few things off to Icka and Ari but I need to pack for Southern so I can just come home from the airport on Thursday and switch out bags and leave. Plus I'm not sure how late I will be working either and I want to hit the gym.
Well, off to conquer hardware and paperwork.
