The Blah Weekend

Sometimes a Nothing Weekend can be a bad thing. I had plans this weekend but most fell through for one reason or another. Softball was cancelled, Maxx had a headache on Saturday so we didn’t get together and coffee on Sunday was cancelled because my niece’s first birthday ran longer than I expected. And it rained. Non stop. All Weekend.

And to top things off I felt completely shack whacky. I couldn’t settle down. It was like I was bouncing off the walls of my cage looking for a way out. I wanted to be somewhere else doing something else, I just didn’t know where or what. Every time I sat down to do something I couldn’t get into it. About the only thing that saved me from going completely bonkers was Season 1 of Deadwood that I picked up at the library. I think it’s my new favorite show--and perfectly timed since I’m revising my western. Watching that allowed me a mental escape from the doldrums and restlessness that settled into my bones this weekend.

So what did everyone else do?

I spent most of the weekend doing pre-trip things - shopping, ordering UK money, all of that fun sorta stuff. 12 days!!

Oh, and watching the final episode of Charmed. Thought I'd mention that, 'cause I KNOW how much you love that show... *G*

I looked after my grandmother on Saturday while my mom had an overnight to herself. Mom just went to my sister's, which is a five-minute drive away, but it was quiet and a little get-away. Because my sister was at her boyfriend's. Musical residences, anyone?

Sunday was a lay-on-the-couch-snuggled-with-my-dog day. I caught two episodes of "Band of Brothers" on the History channel which I'd always been meaning to watch. I loved it, obviously. I'm going to have to get my husband to bring the whole series home for me from Blockbuster. It really gets the warrior vibe going...

On Saturday I went into Vancouver with Sean and his dad while they were having their suits for the wedding fitted. Got to see our niece :-) Then we stopped off at Staples/Future Shop where I picked up Season 1 of Boston Legal.

Sean and I want to watch Deadwood too. You just gave me a great Sean b-day gift idea!!

Sunday we spent until 2:30 at the storage locker, sorting through stuff. We rescued our Starbucks coffee maker, my KitchenAid mixer and my fancy popcorn popper :-)

That was me last weekend, restless and not wanting to do anything.

I had my chapter meeting Saturday. Sunday my daughters went to a birthday party but I had to drag my younger one home screaming. After the party I took my older daughter shopping at a discount store where she spent her allowance money on junk.

It was really hot here so I didn't have much energy.

I've heard that Deadwood is a good series. Hope next weekend is better!

Househunting, interviewing for a possible new job, and making myself crazy. :) Other than that, not a heckuva lot.
