There was stuff that happened this weekend
May. 4th, 2009 12:49 pmAnd that is why no new chapter of FAA. Sorry. I'll try to make the time; the chapter is all ready to go; not that I'm entirely happy with it, but I never really am.
So, the stuff.
I spent Saturday morning running errands, then around noon I went into the storage unit and got out my boxes of Spring and Summer clothes, so I could put the heaviest winter clothes away. I took out 2 boxes, and put 3 boxes away so far - by the time the weather is consistantly warm and I can put more things in storage, it will be at least one more. I'm not sure if this is because the move to a slightly colder climate has resulted in my buying more bulky clothes, so that there aren't necessarily so many more clothes, or if I just did hella lot of shopping this winter. Somewhere in the middle I expect. Then, it turned out that just about everything in storage needed to be ironed/dry cleaned/washed.
The 'rents came home Saturday evening. When they called at 4:30 to say they were waiting for the parking attendant to get the car for them, and that they were picking up dinner on the way, I had the dining room table and the big couch both piled with ironing. Anyone who has ever lived with me or seen my home space will tell you that I tend to spread out across any and all available surfaces, given the time and opportunity. So, there was some last minute straightening involved, and some frantic ironing. I figure I ironed for about 4 hours all together, and there are still a few things on the table.
Sunday I took Mom into NYC to see Mama Mia for Mother's Day. Yeah, I know Mother's Day is next Sunday, but my Dad wants to be there for actuall Mother's Day...Except, you know, not at a musical, or anywhere near New York. So, we went yesterday; ate lunch, walked around Saks for a little while, and saw the show. Then we headed straight home, because she'd been out of her kitchen all week and she really wanted to make dinner, rather than being treated to another NYC restaurant meal. Yeah, I know she'd weird.
And, that's all the stuff.
