I had a nice calm weekend. My dinner/movie plans for Friday night got canceled, but that was fine since I was feeling all grumpy. CS bought Resident Evil so I could watch that before going to see RE2 on Saturday. RE creeped me out, but I enjoyed it. I really need to watch movies like that in the early afternoon though, not shortly before going to sleep. I decided not to go see RE2 because I thought it might be too much for me on the big screen.
Saturday I decided that I’m not going to work at the shelter anymore, I just don’t have enough free time (8 days a month) to give up almost an entire day to it. I managed to get a few chores done and then went to a late lunch/early dinner with CS, his dad, his sister & her boyfriend for his dad’s bday. We went to Outback and I actually ordered a steak instead of chicken or shrimp like I normally do at steak houses. I still only managed a few bites of steak after having bread and soup and some of the fried onion blossom we all shared. But at least I didn’t have to steal those bites for once, and it made a yummy lunch the next day. CS’s sister convinced me that RE2 wasn’t as bad as the first one, and I saw another preview for it on tv, so I decided to risk it. I actually enjoyed it – more fighting, less creepy/scary ick – but now they have to make a third one so we know what happens next! It did creep me out a bit though, so I watched Not Another Teen Movie so I’d have happy thoughts before bed. 
I enjoyed it, I haven’t seen all the movies it parodies, but I’d seen most of the scenes from trailers/previews and CS & his roomie JR filled me in on the rest.
Sunday was rest and chore day, I didn’t get out of bed till almost 10am, so gardening like I planned was out. CS did mow for me though! Yay! *Happy Dance* And we moved the dresser dad gave me up against the wall and put the tree on top of it, so now my garage looks nice again. I just have some stuff to clean off the one wall. Maybe next weekend I’ll get those bulbs planted and the fireplace cleaned out and finish the garage. I did lots of laundry and the dishes though, and got some of my paperwork finished. I finally have sworn off receipts. Unless I need them for possible returns, I’m just going to get rid of them. So that’s one less thing to waste time/space/energy on. My goal tonight is to get all but the statements filed, and then maybe tomorrow I can work toward getting caught up checking the statements in quicken.
Oh, and I don’t remember when he told me this, but my dad’s dog was really upset about his new bird and just wasn’t getting over it. So Herbie went back to momma who is happy to have him and he’s happy to be top dog (and only pet). Her renters like him too. Poppa is getting this super adorable little pomeranian puppy. Just a tiny fluff-ball. And talking to my brother Sunday to wish him happy birthday I found out that he’s planning to go to Mozambique (or however it is spelled) in Africa to work with a church missionary group. So yeah. Wow. No idea how to react to that, other than to let him know getting a passport takes a while and he should get started on that. And to make sure to find out about getting visa. He said he’d probably be there 3 weeks.
No plans at all this week or weekend, other than spending time with CS. So I can get some more cleaning/organizing done. I managed to add some stuff to the Goodwill pile this weekend, so by next weekend I think it will be worth loading up the car for a quick trip. The less stuff I have, the less there is to get/keep organized. And considering how little time & energy I have, that is all for the good. Everyone who has been trying to convince me to declutter (Dad, PH, etc.) should be happy with my progress.
Ok, lunchtime is over, had my leftover pizza that CS bought for us Sunday – did you know it only takes Round Table 6 minutes to bake a pizza? They rushed ours because they had to remake it. I always get red sauce even with pizza that comes with the creamy white sauce, but they didn’t make it that way – not something I could just pick off and eat anyway so they had to redo it. So yeah, pizza – yum! And the orange thingy – tangelo? was good too. I think I’m done rambling now. Bai bai!!!
