With nothing on the calendar we managed to very successfully fill practically every minute of the weekend. Friday night we got together with my family for dinner and many hilarious rounds of Taboo (punctuated by my dog's explosive flatulance – I bought him cheap dog food because I couldn't make it to PetsMart and we paid for it).
Saturday we took Miss Tabby to tumbling. She enjoyed it once again, except the being told what to do bit. She just wanted to run around like a crazy baby and climb on everything. Then Matt headed off to purchase the wood for Tabby's toddler bed and Tabby and I went shopping with my mom and sister. Tabby was good as gold all day while we hung out but of course didn't nap. She conked out in the car on the way to dinner and when she woke up she was ravenous. So ravenous she wouldn't eat and made quite the scene in the restaurant, freaking out and crying (not her usual MO) until I fed her a fruit leather. Then she inhaled half of the contents of the table. Sesame chicken was a huge hit.
Sunday was work day. Tabby got us up early and we got to work on the house … laundry, dishes, etc. We did errands and lunch with my sister (who doesn't have a CostCo membership) and once again, Tabby missed out on her nap. We spent the late afternoon cleaning out our basement (a necessary first step towards finishing it) and by 5 PM Tabby was in bed … for the night. Neither of us could believe it. I guess we wore her out.
For my final performance of the evening, I made Barefoot Contessa's Banana Crunch Muffins (minus walnuts). YUM.
Seems like Olivia and Tabby had the same sleepless weekend. Olivia just wouldn't nap.
How sad is it that I am jealous of a 5PM bedtime. I would like to try it…just once.
Ahhh…isn't it great how our pets let us know what doesn't work for them. Lovely. Still, it beats out peeing on the carpet.
Sesame chicken = good stuff. Tabby has excellent taste.
Must be the astrological sign, because that's pretty much what the Mini does when going to a class like that. Stubborn little shits they are.
Also, hey, how about that chicken recipe?
