I want more weekend...

[ianuk]

Well, it was a busy weekend..but not in the normal ways. Friday at work I accomplished much and I got to have to good time with DOM Lehrman. Got home on time and got the last of the house cleaned up for the small party for mel's b-day. We have a few close friends over for food and zombie fun. The funny thing is almost everyone brought a version of potato salad. Omg, it was funny. Mel's mom called, not expecting us to be home, and he talked with her a bit before I drug him out for food and friends. Many games of Last Night on Earth and Killer Bunnies ensued and food was good. Everyone like the kung fu panda cake. Folks started drifting home about midnight and then it was bedtime.

Had breakfast with public_shaylan at joe's on saturday morning and then it was home to work on projects. Mel worked on sealing up the shop (caulk) and painting the outside boards. I worked all day on tablet weaving. Then Anya and Robert were over to get advice/help on shoes. I also showed anya some basics on tablet weaving. I finished up the weaving and then called my mom. We had a good long chat. Then I kinda lazed about watching tv...I think I even fell asleep on the floor for a while. Mel and Richard got the secondary cooler going after the sun went down a bit and it was very nice and cool in the family room. We watched fantastic 4 and The Day after Tomorrow. The latter was way better than mel or I imagined. I was actually kinda surprised at how good it was. So that was saturday.

Sunday I slept in a bit and then got coffee. Mel spun up the last of some blue face Leicester(sp?) wool on the travel wheel and then we headed out to meet duchess_asa and american_knight out at the movies for kung fu panda. It was awesome..seriously lots of fun, even with the projector breaking in the middle. So many good moves and one liners wow. Got done from that and we perused the game store (mel picked up the players for 4th edition) and then swung into Macy's for some housewares browsing. I was looking for another sugar bow since a few of our friends like white sugar in things...so we need another one. Didn't find anything in the price range I wanted (<$6) and then we were hungry and headed home for lunch. I ate the last bocca italian sausage and it was pretty good surprisingly. Richard was over and I think he was working on his new table...not sure. The afternoon kinda blurred. Roland came over for casting and mel and richard worked on further cleaning on working on the shop (including putting up the bike racks). I went shopping and then got potatoes onto the grill and rhubarb pie into the oven. Had Jenny, roland and richard for dinner and we had steaks, potatoes and wilted spinach. The pie turned out lovely but had to cool for about an hour before we could dig in.

After dinner the boys went back to the shop and mina and I watched tv and chatted. The boys eventually came in and we watched...I'm not even sure what. But it was fun. Folks headed out about 10pm and then it was time for bed. I had very vivid dreams about odd SCA things...not sure what it was all about but I really, really didn't want to get up this morning. But it is only a 4 day work week and I think I should be able to finish a few tasks this week.

After work I need to get to the banner finishing...I didn't get to it all weekend and I promised people I'd have them out on Tuesday...We'll see what I can do. I want to finish off the other panels that are blank...so we shall see. I can do it.
