The work day is winding down and I am stuck in limbo on just aobut every project on my desk...waiting for others to respond to emails or drop off files is daunting work!
In any case, it was another boring weekend around the house...
Saturday morning was a rush of laundry, cleaning and getting ready for Christine's bridal shower. I realized that I don't own any kind of non-christmas wrapping paper or gift bags. So off to Deals I went. On my way, I saw an albino squirrel climbing down a tree. It was early so I thought the sun was playing tricks on my eyes. So of course I pulled over to verify, and to definitively determine that albino squirrels are creepy. I came home, wrapped up the BEST gift ever, did a few more things around the house and then convinced Jerry to drive me to the party (well I drove and then he took the car and came back to pick me up - can you believe I let him drive my new car?!?!?!)
So, I am not the only one who thinks that I brought the best gifts ever: ice cube shot glass maker, pineapple easy slicer,a nd of course a pineapple. I thought they were the perfect items to say, "These are from Gina!" Just wait for the actual wedding gift! Chrissy hasn't stopped talking about them since.
After the party, it was off to ma and pa Hoell's in order to check out the new entertainment system in the basement. By the way, a 65" TV is a ridiculous (-ly awesome) investment. But to be honest once you start watching, you lose sight of the size. We watched the beginning of Spaceballs before deciding that Jerry needed food...and we were kinda bored.
Not ready to go home yet, Jerry and I embarked on a furniture shopping expedition. We have been looking for a loveseat to put in the office. We found something that we like at IKEA, but we keep talking ourselves out of it. A vist to American Freight and Value City furniture and I was hungry! Being in the Tri-County area, we decided to go to Chili's. After sitting for nearly 10 minutes with no real service (aside from the incredibly polite and probably well-underpaid host), we decided to skip out, and so did the people who were seated right before us. We ended up at Friday's with the overly-jovial waiter "Tiny." I kid you not, that's how he introduced himself.
After filling up, we both decided that we were incredibly tired and would forego any other stops in favor of heading home. And what should we find at home... a Harry Potter marathan. Chamber of Secrets was ending, which meant that up next was Prisoner of Azkaban. The "Dementors" drinking game* reared it's ugly head and I was spent about half way through the movie.
Sunday was equally boring. I went back to my parents' for family breakfast. Jerry began his first Sunday of opening at 9:00 am.
I didn't last long at my parents'. Dad turned Spaceballs on again and I took that as my cue to head home and get work done...which didn't happen because I took a nap instead. Oh and it was a glorious nap.
I lounged around for a bit before deciding to get ready to head off to the Honors-PLUS incoming freshman welcome event. And boy did I feel old when Jeri couldn't even remember how long it had been since I graduated. I'm 10 years older than these babies! It was an enjoyable evening of reminiscing.
While I was attending theat function, Jerry was hanging out with his male posse at a "meat shower." This would be an event where the boys get together, throw a bunch of meat on the grill and gorge themselves with the flavors of the animal kingdom. Gross! From what I hear, many of them were hurting a little today - meat hangover anyone?
*"Dementors" drinking game is played by drinking every time a dementor is seen or spoken of in the movie. It gets pretty rough pretty quickly!
