Month: October 2006

Overall, it was a very boring weekend … which in my opinion was exactly what was called for. Yay. Lotsa naps. Lotsa book reading. A bitta TV watching (Tivo is back, Broncos lost, Office still good).

Last night, we went over to my parents' house for dinner. My mom was making Matty a “thank you” dinner since she hogged me a couple of weekends ago when we had the shower for her cousin. He loves this one paticular dish she makes which is sort of a chicken and stuffing casserole. It is quite yummy.

After our delicious dinner, we worked on carving pumpkins. Mom and I both did very simple ones but Matt (as is his style) did an amazing one that looks like a witch flying on her broomstick. We set them by the door as we were gathering stuff up to go. Loki had been sniffing at the pumpkins all night trying to get a read on them and we thought nothing of it. But sudden I hear Matt go “LOKI! What are you doing??!?” Loki had taken a chunk out of Matt's witchy pumpkin. Luckily Matt could fix it and it still looks pretty good. But still … weird dog. What is he doing eating RAW pumpkins?!??

I have no plans for the weekend. Zip. Zero. Zilch. NADA. And thank goodness for THAT. No parties are scheduled. No friends/relatives are in town. The house is perfectly clean. I'm a free woman.

There are a few messy corners I want to clean out. Laundry will need to be done. My Tivo should arrive today (fingers crossed) and will need to be set up. I want to start scouring the internet for Christmas presents. And maybe I can even work on a fun project or two. Plus, there's always bedrest and water drinking.

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Well they didn't actually exagerate too badly this time. We did get quite a lot of snow! Luckily that one with the 13 inches of snow is into the foothills, probably a good 20 miles from us. But I'm sure some people will be digging out for a while! I'm extra glad I bought new winter boots last weekend when I saw them at Target. I've had a crummy pair from Lands End that I really dislike since we lived in WI and I love my new pair. Great morning for them because it was slushy and slick!!

Too bad to be at work instead of cuddled up by the fire. Stay warm!!

Lots of nothing going on in my world right now.

The Denver area is being told to brace for a hell of a winter storm. They're tossing around words like “blizzard watch” and “severe winds” but I am taking this with a grain of salt since the media around here is given to sensationalism concerning our snow fall.

Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars have been good this year and last night was no exception. They're pulling off the Lorelai/Chris thing so well I'm almost pulling for them to make it, but I know that L&L belong together in the end.

I'd been able to wear my normal tops up until now, but they're starting to show a bit of belly when I put them on. I have enough stuff to get by, but I will probably need to hit Old Navy soon and get just a few more things. Some of the maternity clothes I've borrowed from others that fit fine the first half or pregnancy look laughable on me by this point. Plus I really need to be looking for something to wear to holiday events. Continue reading “Potpourri”

We had our first sizeable snows of the year last week and the cold weather has continued. Though of course we got enough sun to melt most of it off. Now today and most of the rest of the week, we may see highs in the high 50s or low 60s. Not too awful.

I spent most of the weekend resting and I plan to go home after work today and do some more of that. But we did have my parents, sister, grandma and aunt and cousin who were in from out of town over for dinner and catching up. It was very nice to see everyone.

We barely left the house otherwise. Matt and I both had to catch up on some office work that we hadn't gotten to this week, but aside from that, I did a whole bunch of lying around. Matty played some video games and attended to my every need and whim (not to mention some housekeeping and the needs and whims of our four-legged friend) … and made sure I rested.
