What did we accomplish this weekend?
That is a damn good question! Lets see, we got all the laundry done, and let me tell you that was quite a feat. I have a few more to fold tonight, but for all intsects and porpoises the laundry is done.
We decided no on a tree this year. We don't have the space and really don't need to waste the money on one. My solution to no tree is to tack the ornaments to the living room ceiling from fishing line. I haven't finished yet, but so far things look pretty good. I like the way the space feels. Hopefully tonight I'll be able to finish hanging them and get the lights up around the house as well. Where will we put any presents? I hadn't thought of that. Maybe on a book shelf that ends up naked when we box up the books. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
We saw Erin Friday night and watched more episodes of Firefly. We had a two hour lunch with Pat & Theresa from my old job Saturday. KurtXine came over Saturday afternoon and we went to Mobo for dinner and then came home and watched more episodes of Firefly. They left that evening for home, but came right on back Sunday for gaming. Sunday we got up, went to breakfast (we hadn't planned on it, but neither of us were up for more dishes and for cooking), came home and got ready for game. The game group showed up, sans Bryan (who teleplays anyhow, but was missed) and we gamed. We finished gaming around 6ish, and Randy left for home. XineKurt stayed on, we ordered pizza and watched . . . yet more Firefly! I just can't get enough! KurtXine left around 9 and James and I got ready for bed and began the laundry fold of a lifetime. As we begin, there was a knocky-knock on the door. I went to answer and it was XineKurt. Their car's brakes went *pooplins* and they were stuck here. So they crashed on the living room floor with some blankies and due to rearranging of house stuff, we couldn't turn on the heater. I woke up freezing this morning and couldn't go back to sleep. So I be very tired today me friends.
In taking Xmas stuff down from the attic, I've managed to make more mess in the living room than I had hoped. So today I get to: finish laundry folding, ornament hanging, xmas lights, and if there is time: Thank you cards from the wedding (we both are the sux at this!), plan for moving! This includes looking into PODs, financial planning and budgeting, getting boxes and packing materials.
My mom refuses to discuss Portland with me. She is upset that we're moving out of state, let alone out of town. I asked her if we would ever be able to discuss it and she told me that right now is really hard with the holidays and granny being gone. I said I understood, maybe after Xmas we can talk about it. I told her we need to talk about it though because her acting like it isn't going to happen will not prevent it from happening. So things are a little ackward with her right now. I can't really talk to her about all the stuff going on with me. Normally, I would just run upstairs sit down and have an hour long discussion with granny about all the crap and she would listen and help me sort through it, but I can't do that anymore.
All I can say is: cha-cha-cha-changes!
