Weekend Update

So, we had some fun this weekend, but it was not without a cost. Dot came over on Sat., so that I could go to a surprise bday party for a friend. She was sick as a dog. Deep cough and fever. Two days later, I have a cough and think I have a slight fever. I'm hoping if I get it, that its a milder case than what she got.

On Sunday, after dealing with my parents, I took T off to Sunset Place, and we went to "Color Me Mine". That's one of those ceramics stores that are popping up. We had a fab time painting a small box shaped like a butterfly. After painting, we leave it there to be cooked in the kiln, and will pick it up next weekend. We then went to the movies: Gnomeo and Juliette. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about. Cute movie.

Today, since I'm getting sick, we have had a slow day around the house. Carlos has been here working and I'm the proud new owner of a patio table, chairs and sideboard, that have been thoroughly sanded, primed and painted a nice black semi-gloss. 1000% improvement there!

That's it for now. Meanwhile, it appears I owe my Aunt Connie a nickel. She is well aware of just how quickly I cave under my daughter's pleading gaze. T got a little purchase from her fav store: Claire's, an accessory store geared toward young girls through teens...despite my empty vows!
