Oh, how I love my weekends. Why, oh why do they always end so quickly? It just doesn’t seem fair. I spent most of Saturday shuttling The Boy and The Girl to various activities. Although we did manage to fit in a very nice lunch, that was it before we had to head back to the house to work on The Girl’s book report.
Today, I woke to make us breakfast and then got hit with a bug. A bug or maybe some sort of foodborne illness. Either way, I am not feeling all that great so I’ve been lying around with The Little Stranger (that sounds funny!) and chasing after the Otter Pup (our new puppy). Right now we are about to throw steaks onto the grill but to be honest with you, ice chips sound much better right now.
This past week, the news kept talkin’ up the big snow storm that was supposed to hit So Cal on Saturday. Friday night was very rainy and cold. Saturday, we felt a few flakes but the entire thing petered out. Today, nothing but sun and blue skies. So my snowy, reading weekend became a weekend to do errands. I hate that.
Off I went to get puppet supplies because The Girl needs to make a puppet of Jane Goodall. I also hit the grocery store, Target and who knows where else. Now that I am done with the errands, the kids and Hub took the Otter Pup (Chloé) to visit with friends so I am free to lounge around and read. I’ve been reading The Little Stranger. Although I am liking it quite a bit, it doesn’t seem to be holding my interest yet.
Later on, I plan to watch all the red carpet action but I’m not sure I’ll view the Oscars in its entirety. I am not a fan of James Franco (the host) but I’ll give him thirty minutes to change my mind.
