That was a nice weekend, wasn't it?
I had a pretty good weekend. It started on Firday, which is always cause for celebration just by dint of being Friday. But lately Friday also has the cachet of being the day Dr Who comes on, and "Blink" was just the best episode ever. It barely even had the Doctor in it (and I lust after David Tennant's Doctor), but it was awesome. I have so much love for this show; I swear I'm going to mourn when the season ends. Especially as I don't have BBC America and therefore can't watch Torchwood.
Saturday we went to Ikea and wandered around the vast furniture jungle. Aside from my son acting like a deranged monkey-child when faced with couches and beds upon which he can climb and sprawl (he doesn't take his ADD meds on weekends, which makes it much harder to keep him focused even when there isn't a few acres of furniture to tempt him), it was a blast. I got a mortar and pestle, which I have always wanted. No idea what I'll do with it, but I've wanted one since I read my first Baba Yaga story as a child. We also found a chair for our computer desk in the As Is section and bought it for $20. This is an enormous improvement over the video chair we've been using. You know the ones that sit right on the floor, with no legs, and kind of rock? We've been using one of those since we moved in, and it puts the computer user about two feet below the keyboard. NOT ergodynamic.
Grocery shopping happens on Sundays, and we make the trek out to the super Wal-Mart. I hate them as a corporation, but I'm broke and spineless, and they're cheap. Anyway, my husband and son wanted to go look at toys before braving the grocery section, and I chose to look at clothes rather than Transformers. I found a pair of jeans that actually fits me! It boggles the mind, but the back curves enough that there isn't a huge gaping space in the waistband right above my ass. Incredible, right?
After we put the groceries away, my friend called and asked if I wanted to go swimming. We did 1500 meters (don't look impressed, it was mostly with kickboards), so I got to feel all smug about actually doing some exercise. I got a horrendous sunburn, since Arizona hates me, but still. Good swim.
So yay. Good weekend, which I'm hoping wil lead to a good week. I hope everyone else had just as nice a time!
