Busy Weekend

So this past weekend was super busy!  You remember that big list I had of things to do?  Here it is updated after my weekend...   I'm running out of time!

1. Still need to Crochet 2 scarves 1 scarf, 3 hats and some potholders.
2. Still need to do a couple of Photo Blocks for the grandparents.  (screw this, not enough time!)
3. Need to go to the craft store for more yarn and Photo Block supplies. (Done)
4. Have to go to my grandmothers and clean house (Done!)
5. Have to pick up the supplies and wrap the gifts I made.
6. About 10 more ornaments to paint and put names on. (I give up, it's enough.)
7. Finish writing Christmas Cards and pop them in the mail. (They'll probably definitely be late.)
8. Clean my messy house.  (Done!)
9. Family Christmas party on Sunday. (That was fun!)
10. Make Christmas Fudge to fill some of my gifts, and to give to coworkers.
11. Pick up the gift I want to get for my roommate.
12. Plan a get-together with my friends.
13. Find a date for New Years!

Friday after work I went and hung out with The Musician as friends.  The Betta fish (Shakespeare) I got last wouldn't eat, and seeing as he knows a lot about fish he ran to the fish store with me to pick up some stuff.  It was definitely a good time!  The crappiest part was when I left my debit card in the ATM and thus had to borrow ten bucks for gas.  Hanging out with him was a lot of fun!  I'm glad we can still be friends.

Then Andy and I went to Heather's house to hang out.  It was such a blast!  We partied and watched South Park, then crashed there.  When we woke up in the morning we managed to stay for breakfast, and Mike made some fantastic chocolate chip pancakes.  I was also happy to stay and get cuddles from Jaxson.

Don't mind my "I just slept in a strange place with no pillow and a teeny-tiny blanket:" look.  Just look at the cute baby!

I'm totally in love with her kid.

Damn.  I want one!

I blame Heather and her too-cute kid.

After I left I hurried home to take care of my fish and grab my laundry.  I was rushing because I had to make it to the bank to get cash (since I left my card in the ATM) before 1pm.  When I got home, the fish was turning white and his fins were looking ratty.  Fairly certain that Shakespeare wasn't going to make it, I scrapped together all of the change in my purse/drawers to run to the store and buy fish medicine.  I changed his water and gave him medicine, and he seems to be doing a little better; although, I still can't tell if he's eating anything... I don't think he is...

I made it to my grandmothers and after running a few errands, I cleaned out my old bedroom there so she'd have room for people to come and stay with  her.  She's having surgery on Wednesday to remove a tumor from her Optic Canal.  Any blessings or good energies people can send, or prayers, would be most welcome.  I love my grandma, she means the world to me!  I'm so very close with her.

This is my grandmother with little B on the hot air balloon. 

Sunday I was able to wake up and clean the house, and then Josh's mom and step-dad came down with his Christmas present.  Long story short we  have a new and amazing 42 inch flat-screen TV in our living room.  It's so pretty!

Last night was the family Christmas party at my Uncle Clete & Aunt Jenny's house.  I was late, but it was so much fun!  We had homemade Café Rio Burritos (which I totally need the recipe for) and I had a great time playing with the kids again.  The most fun came from little Owen, who basically hates everyone outside of his immediate family.  It's been my personal goal every time I've been over there to get the kid to like me, and it's working!  At Thanksgiving it took him all night to warm up to me, and then play with me a little at the end... Last night, he warmed up in like 10 minutes!  I think my uncle Clete was shocked that he was playing with me so well... He's so cute!  I wish I'd taken some pictures, but unfortunately I didn't since my camera phone sucks, and my camera bit the dust.  However, my great grandmother gave me money for Christmas, and I think I'll use that to buy a new camera!  :) Here's hoping!

Well, I better get working on this crochet...
