Two Blog Entries, Two Days

This must be some kind of record!
Today I even made a complete sentence here, so consider yourselves in awe of my mastery of the written word. I have had a good and productive weekend. PLUS, no homework for class (just studying for the midterm on Thursday) so I'm pumped. PUMPED I tell you!

Let's see...Saturday I watched 3 hrs of class, then finished two baby blankets that I have been working on for eons and truth be told I am pleased with the outcome (pix to come later). I went with Beth to "The LJ" (Lake Jackson, her hometown) yesterday afternoon to have lunch at Appleways and visit her mom at the local Quilt Show/Fair...which put my own blanket "handiwork" to shame. I'm a sham! Anyway, there were some awesome quilts there - those ladies go absolutely nuts with that stuff - and I also got to see Beth's mom Linda (she's ADORABLE!) show off some of her craftsmanship with stained glass. I am so impressed, that I am seriously thinking of commissioning a piece from her. Stay tuned for all that!

Once I got home from LJ, I played with the doggz and then watched The Red Violin, a movie gift from a friend. If you haven't seen it, you should really watch it (or "Netflix it" as my Mom says). It was a great movie!! Then it was nite nite time and I slept like a rock.

This morning I woke up at 7:30am and was raring to go for a busy day. Then I realized I lost an hour (when I hopped in my car) and was pissed. Oh well, by 9:00am (true time) I was on my way to grocery shopping. I took my sweet ol' time shopping and 1:30 hr later I was done. I saved $17 in coupons, which made me really happy since I don't usually buy items that they give coupons out for (read: organic, produce, "healthier" fare). Yay me! After shopping I went to the garden center, picked out some flowers & potting soil & then planted them. This is a big feat for me, so let's hope they don't die within the week - I. Must. Water. Them. ...ugh!

"I can do it. I can do it. I can do it."

I made a Panzanella salad (from Ina Garten's Parties book) with my fresh veggies and even made a chocolate cake (from the box, ew, but necessary). I am going to attempt to make cake balls this evening, I'll let you know how that goes. THEN, I let the dogs run thru the sprinklers, which they loved, pushed a baby snake (probably poisonous) off of my patio after Sammie barked at it for like minutes straight, composted all of my kitchen goods, vacuumed the first floor and picked up some crud around the house.

Next up, finishing cake balls (if I can), debating on whether I should shower or not (likely not) and watching Mama's shows tonight. I plan on throwing in some Midterm studying along the way here somehow and even eating dinner.

Wow, long entry. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaanyhoodle-doodle (thanks Mom for the fancy words), that's all I've got.

Maybe not: One last thing, I finished the Twilight Series of books this weekend (thanks Jen!) and am all vampired up! I need something else to read now, what could it be??
