weekend bits
Jun. 11th, 2012 09:32 amThe weekend trended towards the positive side of things. Friday night was for stir fry with team Bishop with a detour through an amazingly fun toy store afterwards. Ox grabbed a piece of pork out of my bowl and nommed it into submission. He seemed to think that it made a much better gum-soothing teether than any of his toys, due to its tastiness. Who am I to judge?
I was on the phone for work from 4:45-6:30 Saturday morning, which put me in a grumpy, exhausted mood for the whole day. So tired. But the customer got upgraded and we got the kinks worked out of one of the important bits of the software before physicians were impacted, so Yay for no angry phone calls later in the day.
Yesterday was a day of shopping for Emi and me. We went to all sorts of stores. We went to Home Despot to pick up Downwood's Father's Day gift (new grill/smoker). We went to Wall of Green to buy ice packs for Emi's feet (so, so broken out, itchy, blisters, going to allergist today). We went to Joann's for fuzzy fabric. We went to McD's for fries ("French fry store, Momma!"). We went to Best Buy for new phones for Momma and Daddy.
The last time I got a new phone was early in 2008. That was a replacement for my very first phone when that one's number pad stopped working. My new phone doesn't randomly delete text messages like my previous one and it's super shiny. I didn't go with the Siri model, as I'm pretty sure that I don't need my phone to obey voice commands. Maybe in 4 years when it's time for a new one. Downwood was totally surprised that I got him a new phone, too. My opinion is that since he's the one responsible for our offspring during the day, it's a good thing for him to have a phone that can both turn on and make calls when he's out and aboot with them. That he can now stream Netflix for cartoons on demand in the dr's office is total gravy.
Also, Emi insisted that I go downstairs to sew. So I made a blankie for a friend's baby, a giant leopard pillow for Emi, and a monster doll for Ox. So that was good.
