weekend update/recap

friday - we took a half day off. me and a couple of co-worker friends of mine wanted to check out the early mardi gras festivities. they sucked. we hung out with Megan for a bit and met new vimeo user, Hal. he's a cool cat. he lives in the area, nice guy, retired, likes to sail. he started up the original Galveston Yacht Club. it was cool listening to his stories about how the yacht club came about and then the hoytie-toyties tried to take it over.

friday nite - we went to ikea. yay! love ikea. we found some shelves we want to get for upstairs and looked at some other stuff. afterwards, we went to Woz's for dinner. she made us lasagna and cheesy garlic bread. yum! we ended up staying the nite, after the wine.

saturday -
big day planned. first on the list: get home. second on list: get food. i stopped for kolaches - GAWD FORBID ME TO STOP FOR KOLACHES WHEN WOZ IS HAVING AN ACL TICKET/INTERNET BREAKDOWN. she called me on my way home, screeching in a frequency i could not understand. i got "ACL". i got "ticket". and i got "INTERNET DOOOOWWWWN!". ACL tickets went on sale and her DSL went down right in the middle of her purchase. she FUH-REEEEEKED! justifiably so. the tickets sold out in an hour and a half last year. they had already been on sale for about 30 minutes by the time i got home and got online. we got her ticket ordered. all is well with the world.

saturday afternoon -
S1 came over and CLEANED OUT MY PANTRY!! it's AWESOME! here's a little before and after. HM is bringing home the label maker so nothing gets out of place.
while she did that, Princess, her friend Haley and i made Valentine soaps. it was our first time making soap. noticeably so. we used too much soap and not enough color. the soap was too hot when we tried to meld it together, so it melted the embedded soap. it was okay for our first time. we scented it and shaped it and colored it. it was fun. i even bought Valentine "take out" bags that they decorated with stickers and other random stuff i had.

saturday nite -
we took the bed to the shack. Princess, bring your sleeping bag next time you sleep over. the bed is gone. blame your mom. she never bought the sheets for it so it went bye-bye. the shack aka Sunburn Alley needed it more than us anyway.

the new shack is awesome! it's gorgeous. i love everything about it. i love the openness and the kitchen drawers and the island and the
doors. yes, the doors. they're wide. love them. i honestly think the doors make it. we hung out with Papatom for a while then made it out to the island. we visited with Smooth most of the nite. we had fun, just HM and me. we're so lucky. we have so much fun together. we really enjoy each other's company. we can have a good time, just the two of us. it's great!

sunday - hungover. i don't know how we both got up and were actually productive yesterday. he was on floor duty; vacuuming and shampooing upstairs. i had the job of cleaning up the bedroom.

the stoop is completely cleaned off except for the sheets. we really need to find a place for those. but at least, now, i'm not ashamed to leave the door open when we have guests. which is a good thing cuz i hated keeping the door closed if the boys were in there. i felt like we were keeping them locked up and always had to check on them. now, no worries. door open always!


until next time, i'm sweet t and you're not.

p.s. i had video i wanted to show you, but vimeo is crapping out tonite, for some reason. sorry. it'll be up later this week.
