So, so so so so so busy
Sometimes your life takes a 180. For instance, I used to sit for hours staring off into space, counting the minutes and seconds (ugh!) until I could flee my office and get home.
Now I barely have time to think, breathe, eat, go to the bathroom etc etc. It's good but it's so very different.
Thursday I only worked for a bit - I was mostly running around answering emails & phone calls and trying to get video to download properly and also getting packed up for the weekend.
Thursday I drove to Apple Valley to visit my sister & her husband. I made them dinner, I did some chores for Kathy (she's in her 5th week of bedrest!!) and we chatted. I was glad I could be of some help to them.
Friday we got up early as Kathy had a(nother) 3-hour glucose test. Before I took her to the hospital I made dinner for them and Jay's parents (crock pot - gotta love it!) and tidied up the kitchen. Then off to the hospital for the next 4 hours. Again I was glad I could be there to hang out and keep her company as I assume it's really boring to just sit there if you're alone. She played some solitaire on her phone, I knitted and we chatted.
Friday afternoon I headed to Austin to help my Mom with a baby shower (so many babies!) for my cousin Lindsay. I helped her decorated, wrapped the prizes, made some food etc.
Saturday morning we ran errands including picking up balloons & flowers for the shower. The shower was a brunch and it went over very well. Lindsay had a great time - she looks amazing! She got a lot of very useful baby stuff - and quite a wide variety to boot. I ate way too much. What else is new?
That afternoon my folks & I took a walk, went to George's for pizza and played a few games of "5 Straight" (in which I kicked butt!).
Sunday we picked my Grandma up for church, went to church, then out for breakfast/brunch for Mother's Day. Then it was back to my sister's to drop off a Mother's Day gift from my parents to her, pick up my rice cooker & ingredients from Friday and THEN hit the road back to Duluth.
Back in Duluth I unloaded my stuff, changed and we went to Steve's Mom's house for Mother's Day dinner. Steve's brother cooked up a pork roast w/garlic, onions, bacon, etc. It was quite yummy. We didn't get home til almost 10 - I was pooped!
And today back at the office -furiously trying to get ready for production (which is of course, why I'm blogging). Jason & his girlfriend Erin took a trip to Ikea on Saturday and picked up our new office couch, some great artwork and a coffee table. I'm very happy with the results. It looks amazing.
That was my busy weekend. How was yours?
