Weekend Update

No SNL cast, but I'm here, to give you updates on my weekend.

Halloween was great and we got up Saturday and hung out as a family. Made oatmeal, did the dishes, etc. etc. Then we got ready to go to tumbling. I thought it started two weeks ago, but it actually started last weekend and we missed it since we were in UT. Tabby loved it though and though she wasn't big on the sitting still parts, she puffy-pink-heart loved the balance beam. And the climbing over things, etc. etc. I'm very glad it was only 30 minutes long though. It's like trying to herd cats with kids that little and I was sort of exhausted after it.

After tumbling, we got lunch and I went against my “I shouldn't eat crap” policy and indulged my meat cravings and accompanied my husband to Smash Burger. Their burgers are so good and I don't know or want to know the calorie count. Then we dropped Matt off at my parents' house so he could help my sister load up her furniture for The Big Move to her new apartment and Tabby and I put in an appearance at the beauty shop where my mom gets her hair did so Tabby could get some face time with her public (they kinda love her there). Then we went to Pet.Co where Tabby flipped out about the mice (in a good way) and we picked up litter for my sister's bunnies. I did not get dog food for Loki because I am a bad doggy mom and I forgot.

God this is boring, but on I will go. Then I drove back to my parents' house to continue the moving help. As per my evil plan (and cuz I can't lift anything, really) most of it was done. But we hung around there a while while it got finished. Tabby was sleeping in the car (I was within like 10 feet of it at all times, no worries). And she woke up about the time we pulled into Kelly's parking lot. Tabby and I acted as forepeople as everyone else schlepped stuff and nominally helped out by building DVD storage boxes and making helpful suggestions about the placement of this and that. After all the moving was done, we left Tabby with my parents and got ourselves all clean so we could have date night. The restaurant I'd wanted to try (supposed to be amazing Middle Eastern food) was no where to be found (did it go out of business?) and so we opted for a new place we'd been wanting to try. It was jam-packed and we didn't have a reservation but because it was pretty nice out and we're rather stupid, we opted to sit outside. Food was pretty good. Service was a bit slow (we were almost the only idiots outside, so I think we got forgotten a lot) but it was nice overall. I wouldn't sit inside though. Very crowded and noisy.

We had plans to see The Dark Knight at the cheap theatres, but we timed it badly and couldn't catch the last (8 PM) showing. We tried for Zach and Miri, but that didn't start 'til 10:40 and we didn't want to wait. So we went to Target and bought a new video game. It was awesome and I played it until like 3 AM. Matt fell asleep at 11.

Still with me? Bless you. Anyhoo, woke up at the crack of 9 the next morning and went to collect Tabby from my parents. They not only watched our kiddo all night but they fed us pancakes. Like from scratch. We had naps after we got home which sounds crazy, but I'd had relatively little sleep and Tabby had been up since 5:30. Then it was off to the store for groceries and then we quite literally spent the rest of the day cooking. We had a lateish lunch around 4 or so and then after we put Tabby to bed (before 7!), Matt and I made breakfast burritos for the week. Finished the night up with some more video gaming.

Yawn. If anyone made it this far I will be amazed and like send you a prize or something (not really).
