Weekend Update
So sorry--I was actually having a weekend instead of blogging about how nice it would be to have a weekend. AND we actually got domestic stuff accomplished too! My mom was very proud when I told her.
On Friday we went to see the Spurs trounce the Pistons--it was a thing of beauty. We got Suite tickets as a reward for all the great work Jamey does volunteering with the San Antonio Sports foundation. I dressed up and put on make-up--I know wow and brought my sock to knit. (My sock goes everywhere--unfortunately I always forget to bring my camera--so no photographic pictures to traipse around the blog.) We had good friends of ours watched the kids--and they even want to watch them again. I may get spoiled. We told Mic that we were going on a date and he inferred we were going to see a movie, "Maybe a scary movie--too scary for us??" We didn't dissuade him of that notion--knowing he'd be crushed if he knew we were going to a Spurs game with out him. What really amazed me about the night is that our friends got both kids to bed by 9.30!!! I haven't been able to get them in be that early--unless they dropped to the floor of their own accord.
Saturday I had planned on going to knit with my knitting group at the library, but Jamey suggested we maybe to go see a movie, The Last Mimzy. Since we haven't been to a movie in ages--I wasn't going to pass it up. But since we haven't been to the movies for so long--apparently we don't know how to look up movie show times. We casually ate our lunch without realising we might actually have to be at the movie at a certain time. When I finally looked up the movie times--we realised we had to go to a theatre a bit further away if we wanted to catch a semi-early showing. It was okay--it was a new theatre that we hadn't been to yet. BUT it was a weekend and an opening one at that...so the showing was sold out. SO we took the latter showing and walked around the new Bass Pro Shop. Mic was SO impressed by all the stuffed lions, goats, Zebras, monkeys and such--that and the waterfall with the GIANT fish. I was impressed by the fudge shop and bought 1.5 pounds (buy a pound and get a half pound for freeeeee)We made it back to the theatre a tad later, we weren't impressed however by the lack of organization in the theatre hallways. MY GOD!! You would think in the what 90 or so years of movie show they would have gotten this part down--never mind the 30 years of MEGA theatres. Complete insanity. We were in line to get seated in the theatre (which by the way took ages to clean) and another line was forming to get into the IMAX theatre at the end of the hall. Okay whatever. But some pimply faced high school boy in a bad tux told us to move against the OTHER wall so we wouldn't get boxed in by the IMAX line. Never mind it would have MADE more sense for the IMAX line to line up one that side of the wall instead of down the middle of the hall--esp. since they were seating before us. Never mind no one knew which line was which so we spent our time---since we were at the head--directing people which line was which and to defend OUR place in line--argh.
The Last Mimzy was AWESOME! I loved it. It gave me the chills though--weird chills. I can't even begin to explain it. It's not a movie for cynics however--but for those like me who loves to dream and see the possibilities in all things--it's a great flick. Mic thought the mother in the movie was an "evil mommy." LOL. Mic liked it as well--although he loves to talk through movies--rather loudly--I need to talk to him about it.
Sunday was very productive. We cleaned out the van--and I mean cleaned it out. We took apart baseboards, took out carpets, took out seats and scrubbed everything. Jamey did most of the work. I wrangled the kids and did some cleaning inside. Then we went for burgers at Chester's....YUM! and went on a futile search for number 414 DMC perl cotton number 5. No dice...three separate stores. I have a few stores still to check.
This weekend--I finished Phisto's birthday present--yeap it's two months overdue. BUT finished!! I need to take a few pictures and finish up few other things and it'll be hers to wear in this not so cold weather any more--erm right. Maybe next season. My sock is progressing well--having knitting at the Spurs game, at the Bass Pro Shop, and the movie--I added some lace since it has reached my calf and needs a bit more width. I'll since it's nearly done (I think) I'll wait to take pictures when it's finished and off the needles.
I've started various other knitted projects, but they are Top Secret--hopefully destined for greatness. I won't be entirely quiet on knitting--since I still have the S.P.E.W. project, the other sock, and the practise shawl--but the other will be only mentioned in passing.
All this brings us to today. I didn't get much done in the way of cleaning--which is pathetic since my mom arrives in exactly a week and the house CAN NOT resemble a landfill. It also rained today--torrentially so. We need the rain, last year we had hardly any rain. As of right now our backyard looks like a jungle. But in two months it will look like a crispy desert.
