Walking Backwards

This weekend's Baker's Dozen (and I promise this next week will be normal and I'll do entries every day, really . . . well, I'll try):

-1- Joe's motorcycle needed a new tire and new brake pads so we woke up early Friday to take his bike in and take him to work. I am reminded of what it is like driving in rush hour traffic.

-2- We went to the mall Friday afternoon, just me and Nicholas, and it was PACKED. Apparently the fourth of July is a five day weekend that I just didn't know about. We did get a cookie out of it.

-3- Saturday Joe took Nicholas so I could have the day off to get things done. Sans-baby I accomplish a lot.

-4- I drove over and helped to clean out a friend's yard. My allergies now have taken over my brain because I had forgotten about the dog.

-5- I spent over an hour at the fabric store going over patterns and fabric. They were having a big sale, but I ended up going out with very little. This pattern and this one.

-6- Went by Old Navy and got to try things on, but only bought one clearance shirt. Got to sit in Barnes and Nobles and look through books in peace.

-7- My day off ended early and I went home to prepare a dinner for a group of friends coming over.

-8- Five guests and their five kids can quickly destroy my house, but oh, it was so much fun.

-9- My head starts to hurt after two glasses of wine and I realize that I hadn't eaten in over twenty-four hours. Remedied that quickly with homemade pizza and blueberry buckle cake.

-10- Sunday, lots of sitting and napping and more sitting. Travis provides a break in the monotony for five minutes when he comes over to do laundry, but soon joins us in sitting and napping.

-11- Everyone has brought me books to borrow this weekend. I really need to get to that. They must be returned in a timely manner.

-12- Raining evening and my Psapp CD make for a nice mellow end to the weekend.

-13- Cooling their heels before dinner on Saturday
