Memorial Weekend...

What a great weekend it has been so far, and it's not even over yet!! :)

Yesterday I got to sleep in for the first time in weeks (usually I am up early helping mom box stuff...dad is really clumsy so we try to keep him away from packing things...so on that note, who else is going to help her?). I slept in until 10am, took a shower and made my way downstairs. In the kitchen is my mom trying to line the drawers with liners (we used to call it Contact paper, I haven't a clue what they call it now). She totally sucks at this so I take over (my neat-freak OCD side comes out). I look over and there are two guys working on getting out the HUGE scratch (more like dent) out of the top of our dining room table (thank you moving guys). They did a pretty good job...I was impressed and can't even see it now. Saturday was filled pretty much with unboxing the kitchen stuff but we did take a break because we ran out of soap for the dish washer. Mom has to wash every dish that is unpacked ("it might be dirty" is her rationale...see where I get my OCD-like tendencies now?). So we walked over the shopping center next to our neighborhood. We stopped in Pavilions and got the soap and then we decided to grab a bite to eat at Pacific Whey Cafe that is right next to use. Lunch was sooooo yummy. I got the ham and cheese sandwich with soup and it was yummo! Mom copied me and got the same. So once we got back we finished unboxing the dishes and food and put the dishes in the newly lined shelves (thank you very much) and just had enough room for the dishes we brought (half of them are in storage, crazy...I know). Then dad came home and we went to Outback Steak House. He signed another large job up so we had to celebrate (and after cleaning all day we were in no mood to cook). When we got home we watched 7 Pounds with Will Smith. That was definitely an interesting movie. I can't tell if I liked it or not. It was so-so I guess. So then dad went to got see Men at Work with his buddy George at Coach House (yes his second concert of the week...Jimmy Buffet was on Thursday). Mom and I watched 88 minutes. It was really good.

Today I was the first one up (very rare...usually dad is up by 5am but I think his partying this week is catching up to him). Went to Lowes to look for Mom's birthday gift...a BBQ. Yes, that is what she wanted. So no luck finding an affordable gas grille that also had a rotisserie (which is "must" for mom). So then we go to Tommy Bahamas for lunch. Yum! I got the flat iron steak with salad. It was delicious. Mom got a free desert since it was her birthday. She picked out a upside-down, pineapple cheesecake and dad and I shared the key lime pie (our fav). We used our $200 gift certificate that our realtor's gave us for having our business for selling our house (hell they make 50K off it, $200 is the least they could give us back). It was a generous gift though, don't get me wrong. Then we went Wal-Mart and Home Depot and had no luck. I went to Aymee's grad party then and they continued on to Costco and Sears. Finally at Sears they found the BBQ on sale with everything she wanted. I, in the meantime met Aymee and the gang at Lonestar for her grad party. Had a great time and spent a little bit of time with my little godson. :)

Then I came home and got in my PJ's and watched "21" another excellent movie but I had already seen it, and then caught up on my shows that I recorded. I started to watch "daisy of Love" which I find to be totally ridiculous and stupid but so addictive. I think the whole "Daisy" chick is such a freaking bimbo and she acts like she is in high school. She has the maturity level of a 15 year old. And the guys that she is dating on the show think their shit doesn't stink but come on dudes, you look like freaking idiots!! But when a new episode comes on, I am totally addicted to it.

I am excited for tomorrow. First off, no work...yay...so more sleeping in! Then I need to plant my bulbs and plants that I stole from our old house that I wanted to keep (my prized iris clumps, etc.). I am going to clean my room some more (needs a little reorganizing) and then I am going to start on Ayden/Lisa's room/Office so if anyone visits, they have a spot to stay. I also have to refill my bird feeder (they ate all the seed out of in 2 days...such little pigs compared to my finches at the old house). I did see the baby hummingbird today drinking out of it's feeder. It was so stinkin' cute. It was probably the size of half my finger. I am going also help mom clean the back patio, set up the patio furniture and put the BBQ in it's new home, and then hopeful go to the grocery store...get some real food (I am so tired of eating out 24/7) and maybe having a little fish for dinner with mom's famous fried rice. Then I am going to watch the season premiere of Jon and Kate plus 8 which is going to be fantastic. I love the drama of their relationship. It's so stupid. He cheated on her. He just needs to come out and freaking confess it. The body language of the both of them sitting in the chair gives it all away that they marriage is in shambles. Before he used to but his arm behind her while in the chair, now you can fit a third person in between them and they can barely stand each other. I hope they really address the issue instead of saying, "We're working on it". So tired of hearing that. And seriously, if you want to be out of the public's vision....stop the show. But even now, you are too late. It isn't like you didn't know fame was going to be like this. And Kate says she is doing it for the kids...well duh. That's the only way they can afford to pay for things for the kids be neither have a job. And she didn't write that freaking book, she just incorporated her ideas into it. Check out the inside cover and you will see.

Well that is enough for tonight. Hope everyone has a fantastic holiday tomorrow. Mine will be busy with more unpacking and arranging of furniture.

Nite nite! :)
