It's been an eventful weekend and I am exhausted. My back feels like it's in knots and in desperate need of a massage which my husband says I will get when he gets out of the shower. Anywho, for anyone interested, here's what happened with my weekend:
Friday: I worked at the library from 9 to 1 and during that time, one person came in. Can you say boring? But I can't complain because I get paid pretty good and I get to read. I finished the book I was reading and started another. I was really looking forward to a party that we were invited to on Saturday night and wondering what I was going to wear, etc. Then when I got home from work, I checked my email and saw a message that the party had been cancelled last minute due to my friend's grandmother being sick. So we decided to switch to plan B which was another party we were invited to for a friend of ours (Bobby's) birthday. Jenn and Demetrius came over and hung out. We talked a while which was funny because Jenn had no voice so she whispered and Dee made fun of her. We watched Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. I was pretty tired so I kept falling asleep while watching it. I guess I'll have to attempt to watch it again sometime since my 11 year old daughter loves it. And so ends Friday.
Saturday: I had to work at the library from 9 to 12. Besides my daughter, 2 people came in, one of which was Dee. After work, I worked out. That was tiring. I lost a lot of fitness ground between Thanksgiving and this week due to not working out because of lack of time and sickness. Anyway, I got through the 4 mile workout. Then we took the kids over to my mother-in-law's to spend the night. She also had Chris's 2 nieces so she definitely had her hands full. We came home and got ready for the party. As we were leaving, we had a beautiful little snow flurry that accumulated about a dusting. I wish it had been more but it was fun to watch. The party was a lot of fun. We got to hang out with friends we hadn't seen in a while and I now have a new favorite mixed drink...a whiskey sour. Yum! We played Cups, Beer Pong, and Caps, Chris sang with Ross while playing Guitar Hero World Tour, and we rocked out in the living room and danced. It was a much needed night out. We came home around 1am. The sad news of the day is that when we got home, Kelsey's hamster Speedy had died. We have had him for over 2 years so I guess it was his time. She has been very sad about it though and she cried for half the day today (Sunday).
Which brings me to Sunday: I got up at 7:30am to take a shower and get dressed for church. Chris's mom called to tell him to come and get the kids and told us that Kelsey had thrown up during the night. I don't know if she was sick or just had an upset stomach from worry. She seems to be fine now. The choir at church did it's annual Christmas Cantata which was very nice. After church, to try to cheer Kelsey up, I got her to help me put out my Christmas village. I love putting it out each year and arranging it with all the people and buildings. I like to imagine I'm in the little town that seems to be full of the Christmas spirit and has no worries. We ran to the store to pick up some necessities and then we came home and I cooked dinner. Our friends Justin and Christina stopped by and brought us our Christmas presents. They live in the western part of the state near West Virginia. After they left, we ate, I helped the kids do their homework, and then washed dishes. Now I'm sitting here typing this. I think it's time to go collect on that massage. Good night!
