Anywho, so at least today was productive. We did our banking, did the household shopping, got a birthday card and gift for OFHG, met up with her at the farm, hung out, went back to the house where I managed to get the checkbook balanced, pay bills, copy down the info out of the Preserving & Canning book my husband's aunt loaned us, straighten up, clean the filter in the fish tank, we finished all the laundry, rinsed and put away another batch of green beans, and I made copies of all the paperwork from my husband's hospital and medical stuff over the last couple of days. Whew. Yeah, I did plenty I think.
After a while TFYO came over, since he was at work when OFHG first came over. We hung out for a bit and then after a while went to a furniture store because OFHG's mom is wanting to buy her a couch for her room ... fast forward through boring, tedious story ... so she wanted to get a chance to look at stuff BEFORE her mom and her went. Nothing quite like running around a furniture store trying everything out. She picked out two different couches that she likes, and honestly they both really were awesome. One is a sort of wrap around couch that I really liked myself. Comfy, it sort of hugs you, but yet supports you. *happy contented sigh* Man I'd love that couch, lol. Oh, and also, my husband and I have decided, after testing a few out ... we NEED a king size mattress, lol. Queen size (what we have now) works, but king would be ideal.
Let's see, so then after that we came back to the house, they stayed for one last smoke, and then left. Then we went over to the farm because my BIL, BILBM, BILBM's sister and her boyfriend were over there and in the clubhouse. I had all sorts of my things in there, and not knowing who else my BIL might invite over, I wanted to be safe. Also we needed to get the damn washer boxes out of my trunk ... which were STILL in there from when we went to my mom's for that baby shower. Anyway, so we hung out with them for a while, talked about stuff, and then they had to go home (had to get her sister and the boyfriend home). So we locked up over there and headed out.
One thing is for sure, for as much time as TFYO, OFHG, BILBM and my BIL hang out ... they sure aren't really peas in a pod. They're more like a bowl of cereal, good for a little while but then things start to get soggy. While we were with TFYO & OFHG they were complaining about my BIL and BILBM ... and then when we were with my BIL and BILBM, they were complaining about the other two. Lol, and people wonder why we don't make it a point to have tons of friends? Either way, we did our social fluttering for the day, so I'm left at peace. None of them can feel excluded, we didn't just stay at home the whole time, and none of it was painful for anybody.
A few other thoughts before my head hits the pillow:
- I really can't wait to take Frisky 'home'.
- I think it's funny how Little Boy is like the resident mother cat with the kittens, snuggling, bathing and playing with them while the real mother cats are all nowhere to be seen most of the time.
- It felt so good to do our own thing today without being weighed down by other people, to just feel like adults, like a real married couple and just to be able to breath.
- We may have found a set of dinner ware, with some serving utensils, with a neat pattern, close by, for relatively cheap.
- I don't remember the last time I went to sleep on a Saturday night feeling so light, at peace and happy.
Good night SoulCast!
