Remains of the day

After a kickin’ lunch at Margaritas (at 3:30, no less) we headed over to Borders to take advantage of the 25% for educators. We each got a book, plus Eldest, some books for my classroom, a couple computer books for Lord Geek, and a baby book for my friend who is due in June.

We got home and Gameboy and I were so tired we both laid right down. A little while ago the phone rang and T answered it. I told him when he answered the phone it would finally be the phone call I was waiting for. I’ve been waiting since last night to hear about a friend from work who was induced yesterday. She was supposed to go in yesterday morning, but they were full in maternity. Yesterday afternoon she went in and was induced at 2. One friend from work is our contact and I am the email sender. I hadn’t heard from her by noon today so I called. Mom was having contractions every 7 minutes, but no dilation. I finally got the call at 5:45 that they had broken her water and she is finally in active delievery. Now I await more news.

So far Saturday

We have Gameboy (12) today. His mom and her beau went away for a few days and we got him for overnight Friday and all day Saturday. Last night we went to Panda North for dinner (his choice) and watched Bones, Criminal Minds, and Return of the Jedi. This morning he endured my weigh-in at Weight Watchers (from the car), breakfast at Dunkin Donuts, over an hour at the gym and then shopping at Olympia Sports. We got home around 12:45 and have been chilling since then. Now we are getting ready to eat lunch at Margaritas and hopefully do some shopping.

It’s fugly!

louisvuitton42k.jpgI get most of my “news” from The View. I know…I know…everyone has an opinion on Rosie, but I like The View and I am going to keep watching it. Anyway…last week they showed that ugly ass bag from Louis Vuitton. You know the one I mean, the $42,000 bag. The Patchwork Tribute Bag. The one that sold out in less than a week.

9400_detail_1.jpgSo they talked about it on The View last week. The ladies were shocked at the cost and ugliness. Rosie said, sort of off-handedly, she was going to make one, over the weekend, from stuff she found in her craft house. Joy laughed. Joy was still laughing this morning when they showed the picture of Rosie’s and mentioned that the bag was sold out. Rosie has donated hers to be auctioned off on chartiybuzz.com The money will be going to Rosie’s charity Rosie’s Broadway Kids. The bidding is $1,100 at the time of this post.

It’s just as fugly, but at least the money is going to a good cause.

Things that are funnier when you are sleepy

Last night, yesterday afternoon actually, I was very tired. I intended to go to bed early, but 10:00 is not early. We went to bed and I started drifting even while having conversation with my husband. I started to fall asleep without turning off my light. So T said I am “incorrigible. If there was a place that sold corrigibles, they wouldn’t sell you any.” I rolled over to turn off my light and said, “I am so blogging this tomorrow.”

It is not as funny in the light of day.

Movie Madness Round 1B

Round 1BI didn’t do as well in this second half of Round 1. I only got 9 of this set of 16 for a grand total of 22. I didn’t do the best or the worst, but I am not going to come close to winning as several of my second and third round choices are out of the running.

By choosing N x NW and Rear Window, I am losing out in at least two matches in each of the next 3 rounds. All About Eve is my choice for matches in the next 2 rounds. Oh well.
