Busy Weekend So Far...
Friday night I debated going to a party with the Golden crowd but it was at 40 miles away and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. Instead, Angie and I met at my place and then went shopping for supplies to do some fondue. We started out thinking 3 courses of fondue, then narrowed it to two ( cheese & dessert) with coconut shrimp for the main course. This was quite ambitious of us and really we ended up doing only fondue 2 courses, and she's coming over today and we are doing the shrimp and tiny amounts of fondue. After the feast, we went to a movie and then like the fuddy duds we are -- called it an evening.
Saturday - my morning started very early -- call it 4 am when the smoke detector in my bedroom started chirping. I have lived here for 9 months and haven't really had a reason to play with the smoke detectors much. I wondered what the hell the sound was and then of course just tried to ignore it and sleep through it. After a couple minutes I realized a few things -- 1) The noise wasn't going away 2) It was the smoke detector and not so stray bird in the house 3) I really miss having living with someone else and sharing things like this. I staggered out of bed and looked for something to stand on. I found my computer chair and bottom line is I figured out the damn thing without breaking my neck. I was able to crash back in bed in silence and then was up fairly early anyway and do some much needed cleaning. I was then off to run some errands and ended up only being able to fit in a couple. I was at the bank for an hour and a half getting some things in order, opened a new checking, savings and CD. Closed out some accounts I haven't been using. Then picked up the pottery from two weeks ago, and then off to Macy's! Did some major damage there and didn't save as much as I was hoping. Then I still needed the dress for my Halloween costume, and remembered that a few years ago when I was getting a dress for Lori & Dave's wedding that they have discounted bridesmaid dresses so I convince Margie to come with me and help me try on dresses. We discovered that there really is no rhyme or reason to their sizing scheme. Anyway I was able to find a dress that was lavender and not horrible! It was quite cheap and doesn't look bad at all. I remembered trying on lavender three years ago and thinking it was the most horrible color ever, but now it's better. Ok so then I was home to get ready for the comedy club! We had such a good time and all the comics were very funny. And as a new experience - the first time I have ever accidentally bumped into a stranger and had them cheer about it. Did I mention he was a very attractive stranger as well?
I am supposed to go hiking this morning, but I hear the rain so I think I am going to be able to get my housework, homework and the rest of the cleaning done, oh and changing the batteries in the smoke detectors. Oh and we got soo much food for the fondue that Angie is coming back over tonight to help finish off the fondue.
