weekend update/recap

friday - dinner and crackers and cookies, oh my! if it hadn't been for Princess, i would have never gotten thru the nite. she was a trooper. i picked her up on Friday and told her, "be prepared to work". and she still came over.

she took charge when we got to the house. she grabbed the first list (for dinner) and started getting everything out for it. while i was putting the finishing touches on dinner, she got out everything we needed for the crackers. we made a double batch of spicy crackers. man, those things are good. actually, she made them. she pulled out everything she needed, measured correctly, and poured it on. all i did was stick 'em in the oven.

next, we got started on the cookies. man, i love her for that! she was not afraid to stick her hands in anything! i can't do that anymore. it's icky. we doubled the cookie recipe and ended with, about, seven or so batches. all for the family reunion on Sunday.

we pretty much passed out after that.


saturday - slept in, did some laundry and got packed for the nite. i headed into town and we were on the road to Victoria by 3:00. we stopped and had a late lunch at Hinze's BBQ in Wharton. YUM! also picked up some sausage from Hillje's.

after we rolled into town, we went to see Aunt Linda for a while. we kinda just hung out at the motel after that. HM wanted to go swimming, but there were a lot of kids in the pool all day and he didn't want to swim in all their pee.

sunday - FAMILY REUNION DAY!! it was so great seeing everyone! i'm so glad i went... and made HM go with me. he didn't even complain about the DJ and all the loud music. we had a really good time. AND it turns out, i have a cousin that lives less than TWO MILES away from me. he lives in the SAME little city i live in!! we're going to see him at jazz brunch Sunday. he's a chef at a newer restaurant in town.

i'm hoping that this wasn't just a one time get together. i know have cousins in Houston now and i hope we all actually make an effort to see each other. Aunt Martha has friends that live in the subdivision next to ours (she visits them a lot) so i'm hoping she'll come by our house when she visits. i'm not sure HM will ever get used to the unannounced mexican family visits. but i'm hoping he'll be okay when/if it happens.

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