Weekend recap:

Friday was scheduled to be the annual Mohawk dinner, but STS was still recovering from the plague, so instead, I picked up Chinese food and we met at his house. It was still much fun, but we missed [livejournal.com profile] spandita. :-(

Saturday, I ended up sleeping in far too late, and then ran to Target to replace the shoe rack that perished in The Great Shoe Rack Accident of 2003 ).

Not a good idea to have to run to Target on the Saturday before Christmas, on a non-holiday related errand. Went to solstice that evening, and it was fun. Wacky gifts as always, including a 40 of Schlitz Malt liquor (that went to Brad's mom) and a 6 foot inflatable penis (for Margi). Fun. [livejournal.com profile] automat76 and I went back to B&J's house with them afterward for martinis, and watched the first half of X2 on DVD. Stayed up way too late after that reading.

Sunday, got up really late, because I had to be at Grandma & Grandpa's at 1:00. Didn't leave the house until 12:25, but I still got there at 1:05. About halfway there, I became very annoyed with someone in the lane next to me, who appeared to want to dragrace down I-70, but it turned out to be my sister trying to get my attention. So, we both got there at the same time. Mom and dad weren't there -- they have the plague now, to the point that they couldn't really get out of bed. A & I were going to go see them after we got done at G&G's, but we were talked out of it since mom is still contagious. So came back home and went to Betty's for a bit, then went home and finished Oryx & Crake. I absolutely loved this book, right through the end, then I turned the next page, and saw the acknowledgments and said, "That's the end?" I'm still processing what I thought of that. It's just that there were more pages in the book, so I was expecting another chapter.

This morning, I am tired, and I don't have anything pressing to do, so I'm having a hard time getting anything done. I have lunch with the girls from work today, and that should be fun, but my energy level is quite low right now, so I may not be much fun. We're going to Lindey's though, and I love Lindey's.

Tonight will be devoted to cleaning up the mess from the Great Shoe Rack Accident of 2003, and to washing the large quantity of stainless steel cookware I now own, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa.
