sabineWeekend Roundup!
Friday - I went up into town after work. On the way I called Mom and talked to her about the kiddos and stepdad. He's doing better but not yet good. I should call again tonight to check on them. I went to JoAnn's and had to search the whole damn store for pony beads for Emi. She LOVES to string beads, but the only needle she can thread is my yarn needle, so we need the beads with big openings. Then I went over to the maul to pick up their pictures. Such cute kids, even if Ox was being a TOTAL PILL throughout the whole thing. I then found a pair of dress pants that were marked down to $10 and FIT. OMG. And then grabbed food and came home instead of trying to go to Woodman's. I was melting down and needed to get away from people.
Emi was beyond thrilled by her beads. She loves crafting and making things just as much as Momma and Daddy. I'm very thankful to have her as my daughter. She's smart and determined and when she wants to be good at something, she just wants to practice and practice. I want her to keep that determination and spirit.
Saturday - Got to sleep in a bit. Also fired up Guild Wars 2 for the first time in many months. I played some in the morning and had fun. After a break to take care of lunch and kids and some house chores, I played more in the afternoon. It was intensely frustrating and I had no fun at all. Boo. I was so grumpy that I just couldn't smile or enjoy anything after that - I wanted SOMETHING to WORK, DAMMIT. Everything I touched seemed doomed to fail. So I put on my playlist of Songs To Make Me Smile, which did its job. Yay music! Yay people who make silly songs about evil geniuses! Yay violin dubstep! So, yeah, I'm thankful for video games and music, but mostly music.
Sunday - Got up before everyone else and started cooking. Brownies, chicken, coffee, and chili got started in the morning. I played some GW2 with Downwood, which was nice and relaxing. Then I went down to the studio in town and got my tattoo done. Holy shitballs, it hurt. But it's beautiful and done. Then I came home, buffaloed the chicken, sliced some potatoes, and got the rest of the food out and ready.
My cousins brought copious chips and good beer. Au brought an amazing fruit plate that all three kiddos attacked with vigor. I made far too much food, the football game was laughably one-sided (but we were cheering for the Seahawks, so that was fine), the kiddos had fun playing together, and the ads during the game were...hm. Something. Some of them were just WTF? and some were pretty good. I was thankful for friends, family, and good food. And relaxing.
Today - Holy brass balls on a witch's tits, it's cold out there! I'm at work, which is fine, I guess. My tattoo hurts A LOT. Did you know you move your wrist a lot? And that the skin twists as you do simple things like putting your hair up? I found that out this morning. If I'm just holding still, it's fine, but moving hurts. It's like having a bad sunburn. My skin is pretty damn pissed off at me and wants me to know that I've abused it. I still think it's pretty and I don't regret the design, but I'm kind of regretting the placement. Ouchies.
Ah, well, in 2 weeks it'll be healed and I won't regret it anymore. That's how these things go.
Dance tonight. Soooper bowl leftovers for lunch. Meetings and class throughout the day. I'm thankful for the first two, but not the third.
Also, I'm looking at spa packages. My everything hurts and a massage sounds like a fantastic idea.
To work with me! Yah!
