Had a weekend that seemed really long, which was fabulous. It started out terribly though, with a Battlestar Galactica viewing party that did not involve watching Battlestar, but did involve me drinking too much watermelon vodka and puking all night, forcing me to postpone the repair crews that were showing up the next morning to fix all our complaints in the house. Actually, Liam did that. He's a good chap.
But! I felt better after sleeping in, and just lazed around in the heat until I went to the gym to laze around in the pool with my sister and our friend Dee. Liam and I did eventually watch the season finale of s.3 of Battlestar, and WTF?! Revelatory news was sad/awesome, but the All Along the Watchtower thing was cheesy.
Saturday the crews came and fixed almost everything on the list of demands I'd given them, including kill-free mouse repellant, installing an exhaust vent in the washer/dryer room (because come on) fixing ripped linoleum, installing a security light on the sketchy storage unit, all kinds of stuff. Looks like you get what you want when you get all legal-actiony on people! They still have to do something about the dirt pile that is my front lawn, now.
I have been working on this simple little dress I started making for weeks now, because I'd decided to embellish it with embroidery all along the hem and along the shoulders. Finally finished it last night, so I ought to be able to get the dress finished this week in time for us to go to Canada. There are three people I have promised projects to, so this is the last thing I am going to finish for myself before I have those other items finished. You're on the list, Jennie! :)
Saw Land of the Lost in the cheap theater on Saturday afternoon. I thought it was worth the hour and a half spent in the air conditioning, Liam apparently did not. Whatever! It's not like I was expecting cinematic magic or anything.
Other than that, I just ate a lot of fruits and veggies from people's gardens, which makes them better than storebought produce somehow, and spent an inordinate amount of time in a hammock. Lovely!
