Weekend Thread 2-20-09
 

So whats on your schedule for the weekend. Anything interesting?

Found out tonight that Derrick was invited to the sweethearts Dance next
week and he waited a whole week to ask me because he was worried about me.

Such a sweet guy is mine, and its so nice for him to get this invitation.

He has already asked her to the prom,

I'm still recooperating and just taking it slow.

Hi Donna,

I plan to get some homework done this weekend.

glad to hear you are getting better donna, rest if you can...glad that your family is understanding! Your son is a sweetie.
good luck with your studies barb!
It is mardi gras season, parades two weekends in a row....fat tuesday(the day before ash wednesday)...even the mail stops in our town!
I have a gathering to go to on sunday....heroines journey, a group of women on a path to enlightenment.(very buddist like)..we meet once a month.

checking in
 

I am hanging in there.. :)

I really need to get a good shower and wash my hair this weekend. I feel icko and i know that makes me irritable as well. Also i need a phone card from the tobacco shop (not smokes! haven't smoked anything at all since last june :)) so i intend to get out today, before or after shower i don't care. maybe before.

Poirot is on at 3 and lasts 2 hours. He is usually fun.
Then at 5 Monk is on and you *know* i can't miss that madman!

So, emm. well if i jump in the shower now, i could possibly be all set and let my hair dry while i do that 3 hour tv marathon...

then go out nice and clean for the phone card.

that leaves tomorrow to change the bedding, swiff the living room, clear up some mess, do some filing, dust the remaining knicknacks (i started last week), and lounge around the lounge coz i gotta get back into the habit of folding my bed up. That is a problem because i dont have any place to stash the big bulky quilted bedcover i need to keep me warm. it's too bulky to fold in. we shall see. :confused:

and tomorrow night... HOUSE!!! New Episodes! (to me, anyway). :Excited:

gosh i am overwhelmed just thinking of this. ok now i'm down to a half hour to shower - not quite enough. hmmmmm. what to do............

oh gosh, and i still haven't written that dialogue for therapy. actually i tried and went blank. usually it is a thing that dances around in my head. so i decide to write about it and it hides? oh bother! :mad::o

Donna
glad you are feeling better and... what a sweetheart of a son you have. no surprise he got invited to that dance ;) ... wonder where he got that sweetheartedness from, hmm? :wink: :circlelove:

Beth
wow a month went fast... seems just yesterday you met with your women's group. i recall the last meeting was very deep for you. i hope this one goes as well, and that you find healing and friendship in this spiritual journey.

Mardi gras or Fat Tuesday is called that coz it's the last day of indulging before Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday. Lent is a period during which Catholics traditionally give up something a luxury of some sort ... make some sort of sacrifice in their daily lives. I fortet if there are also dietary restrictions. I don't know what the predominant religion out by you, Beth, but that's where it all comes from. Here the traditional parades are getting started all over the place, they are in the news, lol. Every town has its little twist on things.

Enjoy. I remember going to a Mardi Gras parade once as a little girl, all dressed up as in a multilayered taffeta and lace gown, and wearing make up, a fake beauty spot made with eyeliner, and face powder so i looked like a doll, lol. not sure what i was supposed to be any more. but it was fun.

think i best go for the phone card first. time is running out. will have to remain dingy till after Monk. :o:p

barbara... homework?
 

what homework are you doing... is it for your web design class? if not... what?

i started to take one of those some time back... it was free in fact... darn it if i couldn't get through though, it was at a time when anxiety got the better of me, and i ended up dropping out. :( i really wish i'd been able to complete it. i got through the html and photoshop part, but i already knew more html than they taught, thought i did learn the odd thing more on photoshop before dropping out. but they were going go onto do flash and dreamweaver and those were the bits i know *nothing* on and would have really needed.

what does your class cover?

am i being too nosy? :D

well good luck with your homework. dunno if you get graded but i hope you gain from it regardless. i am terrible with homework... one reason why i'm afraid to go back to school. no self-discipline (working on that in therapy).

sigh.

well Poirot was a bit of a let down or a get up and go really coz i ended up multitasking with posting and housework. it was 2 1-hour episodes, rather than a 2-hour movie which i would have preferred.

and Monk was one i'd seen already :( ... the diamond hunt one. so i didn't bother with it.

swiffed the whole darn house except my parents' room, swept the kitchen, got behind things and all, and i'm not used to this OUCH my back hurts. that is really sad... i'm too young for this. i need to get up and...

:Dancing-Chilli: :p:Dboogieeeeee!!!:D:p :Dancing-Chilli:

yearrrrright! :(:mad::eek::rolleyes:

wacky ~ waves ~ and bushwhacked too

It is predominantly catholic down here and lent last 40 days. the dietary restriction is no meat on friday but you can have fish and other sea creatures life crawfish...so there is really no sacrificing about that.
carnival lasted 6 weeks before mardi gras, balls and such it is big here.
glad to hear that you waves are being so productive.

Its a good thing one of my son's got some sweetness from somewhere.

And its really been kind of funny this last few weeks. He got a valentine
candy kiss, a big one. From her, its the first year she remembered, and
she, he said, was really excited. And he always has a surprise for her.

So its growing and its blossoming and its really cool.

By the way I'm headed off for the rest of the weekend and Monday
to help a friend get her son's educational rights.
