Weekend follies

W back again, I spent Sat. baby sitting for the nephews. I was a last resort since everyone else was either at a wedding or a wedding shower. The kids survived. They also beat me in Junior Monopoly. They told me adults are required to play with real money, so I'm out about $100, too. E mean time was drinking wine at a wedding shower.

Sunday was an open house, no one showed. Thinking about digging up the statue of St Joseph we buried and flushing down the toilet instead. I'm so tired of these stupid open houses.

Hopefully next week's open house will be better.

Take a hike!

Here are some pictures from my hike I did with my college roommate C. We were somewhere in Billerica. They also had a little petty zoo. It smelled really bad. C brought her dog Roxy. She like the animals.

Happy Memorial Day!

Sorry it's been so long. W and I have been quite busy for the last few days. After our mid-week day off our calendar exploded with things to do, just in time for the long weekend.

Saturday W had to work so I did Saturday things like chores and what not until he got home. It wasn't all that nice out by the afternoon so we just hung out and enjoyed each others company.

Now for the explosion. Sunday we went to my Mom's house to stain her shed. It was built about 6 years ago and she decided now would be a good time to stain it. The shed looks really nice now, blue with white trim. Sorry no pictures, I forgot my camera! Afterwards we went to see my sister W2 and her family. Her boys are getting so big.

Today we went to my brother S's house to . . . help him paint. We were only there for a little while but did get the trim finished up. The house is looking good. Speaking of houses, we had to clean ours because we are showing the condo tomorrow. What a pain in the a-s-k. They better buy it.

Or what?

Any hoo, we went out to eat with W's brother and 2 cousins this evening. That was lovely. They went to watch the new Terminator movie. I opted out. Not that interested.

Boy, I am tired from all that painting. It's a gorgeous night out and I think I'm going to sit out on the patio and take it all in.

What did you do for your long weekend?

Playing Hookie

W back again. E and I both played hookie from work today. I played a golf tournament with my brother M and his father in law P. Weather was perfect and we all played well. Meanwhile E played her favorite sport today also, shopping, with my sister in law L and her mother M.

Tough to tell who had a better time, but since we were both doing what we love instead of working in the office it doesn't really matter.

What do you guys like to do when you play hookie???

First open house of the year

And it was a bust!!!

No one came. That was a first. We were very disappointed. The only person that came over was my friend R. We went shopping. That made me feel better.

W went to the driving range. He felt better too.

There's always next week!

There's always a first

It's finally happened. After 18 years, it happened. I got pulled over by a cop for the first time. I have to admit I started shaking and threw up a little in my mouth but I regained my composure once the cop got to my car.

Just kidding about the latter but I did start shaking. Just for the record, it wasn't for speeding. I have an expired car inspection sticker. I knew the minute he put his lights on why I got pulled over. The sad thing is, I really thought that it expired this month even though there's a big number 4 on it.

I got a warning and we went on our merry way. Phew.

Yet another showing

We had someone come look at our condo again today. They were supposed to be there at 1:30, thank God I live close. Half way there, the realtor called and said she wanted to reschedule for 3.

I had to turn around and work for another hour then went home.

Keep your fingers and toes crossed and hope this is the one!

Happy Mother's Day

Wishing all the Mom's out there a wonderful day!

Happy Friday!

Another busy weekend for W and I. W has to work tomorrow and I'm off to Leominster for our Nephew N's First Communion. That is at 10am and then we are going out to eat. The choice is his.

I have a funny feeling that we will be eating a McDonalds. I'm not sure if he even likes Micky D's but you give an 8 year old free reign a on restaurant choice the outcome will probably be some sort of fast food.

After that, W and I are hitting the driving range.

Sunday we are off to my Mom's for Mother's day. We are taking her out to eat, her choice. Guarantee that it won't be McDonalds. I also want to get her some flowers for her to plant.

Any plans for the weekend?

Happy Cinco de Mayo!

For all our Mexican friends, I'd like to wish them a happy Cinco de Mayo. 

W and I don't really have any plans to celebrate. I guess I should of planned on making tacos or something. Hmmm. Perhaps this is a good excuse to get take out tonight. 

Anyone doing special for the occasion?

Sunday afternoons

W back again. Well it's a quiet Sunday afternoon and we're just doing chores. E had fun this weekend spending Fri and Sat with her friend S and I had fun sitting home watching the Sox and Celtics games. The Celtics game was a good one even thought the refs were horrible. Glad the Sox finally got a win in Tampa Bay. Hoping they can make it 2 in a row today.

How did everyone else spend their weekend any cool trips or were you a homebody like me??
