I don’t have too much to tell about my weekend, yesterday I spent a good part of the morning plotting some updates for one of my web projects, but with no content coming in from the client, I am at a standstill.
Then later this morning, I went and did some shopping with my folks and went to the bank. A nice warm day, too, almost too warm for April, but still perfect for doing errands.
I received an e-mail the other day from guru.com to notify me that I had been nominated for their ‘Rookie of the Year” award. I was not told who nominated me, nor has anyone I know hinted about it. I do, however have a couple of people in mind if I have to venture a guess, but I am not going to say who in HERE…if you are reading this and you are the one who nominated me, please let me know because I am very curious.
Saturday night I went to dinner with my parents and some friends to celebrate my birthday. It was nice because we went to our favorite Mexican place and I got to have a great big margarita. I got some really nice Avon bath gel from my girl friend and then my folks gave me some money to help me buy this graphics software that I’ve been wanting forever.
We all had way too much to eat and then we all split up for the night. I went over to my sis’s house, where I visited my 4-yr. old nephew and then they put him to bed so we could visit.
Today I found myself staying in bed until around 11 a.m. and did not want to get dressed or do anything of much importance, until my sis decided that we needed to go over to my folks house and get some of her old stuff out of their basement so they could do some work down there.
Since my folks are both retired now, they will be having a garage sale this spring and hopefully moving into a newer and smaller house, or else they will find one of those seniors townhome communities or something like that to live in, where there isn’t any assisted living thing or anything like that, and they wouldn’t have to maintain the property. An ideal fit either way, since they plan to do alot of camping and traveling.
Anyway, so my sis and I go to my folks house (they were out of town) and we sat in the basement, going through all her old crap and laughing our asses off, ’cause we were looking at her old scrapbooks and love notes and junk, and especially the old clothes made us just howl. Do you remember stirrup pants?? Ick. I can’t believe we wore them!
Then I went home, bought some groceries, had some dinner and now here I am enjoying my free time, only I think my bedtime has passed once again.
Time for me to hit the ‘ol hay,
Same day, different year..
