Weekend update
Aug. 28th, 2006 11:23 amFinally, we're home for a weekend.
The weather was crappy, so I was able to sit home without guilt. It's nice when that happens, because then husband isn't a pest about going outside and doing things. We're starting to get a taste of fall with the weather - it's always sad to be reminded that summer is almost over. Never mind that it's starting to be dark when we wake up. :P
Friday night was the Giants game. Eli Manning did NOT look all that great, but he did manage to get his shit together enough for one touchdown drive. About halfway through the third quarter, they put in Jared Lorenzen, who throws like a cannon and is about the size of a tank. I don't know how this kid ever gets sacked, he's so big (but he did get sacked twice.) I'm very fond of this guy and I'd love to see him get the backup position.
Had some confusion on Sat. about the time of my haircut/color - thought it was at 1:30, and it was at 11:30. The salon is really close by, so I was able to scurry down there and be a redhead again. Good thing too, b/c there aren't any afternoons this week where they're open and I'm free, so it would have meant waiting until we get home from Scotland. That night, we went to my aunt and uncle's 50th wedding anniversary party. My parents were up from Florida for the occasion, and all I'm going to say about it is that I'm actually happier when I don't see them, because seeing them just reminds me of how hurt I still am over the whole move and how much I wish they hadn't gone and how much I miss them, and it is embarrassing to cry through the dessert end of the party.
We watched the F1 race on Sunday, and someone at Ferrari is going to get it, because a badly-timed call into the pits cost Schumacher second place (and by virtue of that, the lead, because Massa would have been under team orders to let him by.) Now he's two more points down rather than four points up. Later on I went out to Joann's to get material for Yoshi the Diva Bount's cosplay, and I had just about given up hope of finding a purple material I liked when there was some lovely sateen... for $8.99/yd. Oh well, thank goodness for coupons and gift cards. Husband made something like coq-au-vin for dinner, and it was much tasty, and I read the latest Bleach chapter and watched some Mushishi and it was a nice day.
Countdown to Scotland: four days.
