Philip spent the night last night even though it was his Dad's day. He went to a concert last night (another band I've never heard of) and had to work this morning so it made sense for him to stay. When he got home last night, he was totally hashed out. His voice was raspy and he was super excited about the music and the night. Makes it tough to figure out if his cough/sore throat is from singing or if he is getting more sick. We doped him up anyway and sent him on his way. (By doped up, I mean Theraflu and Robutissin. He assured me he didn't have "anything else" in his system. :-) )
He had to be to work at 8:00 this morning. But I sure didn't have to be anywhere. I admit I woke up but I absolutely refused to get out of bed. So after he left at 7:30, I rolled over, snuggled my kitty, and proceeded to sleep until....noon. NOON. I didn't meant to sleep that long but I guess I needed it. Yes I woke up a few times in there to see what time it was. 8:30...nope....9:48....nope....11:05....maybe...but nope. If it wasn't for my old lady bladder, I'm not sure I would have got up at noon either.
I am so not a morning person but I can't help but feel like I missed 1/2 my day when I get up so late. As you get older, aren't you suppose to need less sleep? Agreed I didn't fall asleep until midnight but Noon?? Well it is what it is. I have medications I have to take an hour before I can eat anything. So I took them and moved to the couch to wait. The wait turned into a marathon "Renovation Reality" couch surf thing. People are such dumb asses. EVERYONE knows to turn off the breaker before taking to your kitchen electrical outlets with a pair of wire cutters. But watching the sparking phenomenon over and over for several episodes was hilarious. I know one thing for sure, I hope I never buy a house that has had an unskilled couple do much more than paint. Caulk can hide a multitude of mistakes unless it is 1/2" gap in your laminate counter top. Don't think I'm not going to look behind your fancy bowl of apples and oranges if I am buying your house!
Anyway, I finally pulled myself off the couch at 4:00. Much to Sissy's surprise who was thoroughly enjoying a day of cat corralling and snuggling. I decided to head to Lehi to the scrapbook store for my monthly page kit. I only have a few more months of these kits. Since June, I have faithfully drove to Lehi to pick up my kit. One of the things I love about this store is they have the BEST clearance section. I've picked up huge packs of paper for under a $1 that have helped me with so many layouts. Today, they had racks of paper for $.25. Plus I get 10% off each month when I pick up my kit. And today, they gave me a big handful of paper and embellishments just for coming in. I'm pretty sure it was as much as I bought. I think they know me now.
Anyway, I've come to really enjoy my run to Lehi. It has such a small town yocal feel right off the freeway. On my way back, I often stop at Kneaders for food. Today was Linner (lunch/dinner). Linner has become my MO lately. I suppose if you don't eat your first meal of the day until 1:30, you don't get 3 squares a day! Today I had Mushroom Brie soup (love it!!) and 1/2 a sandwich. While I was there, there was a table of "ladies who lunch". They were clearly a group of friends/sisters that were out for the day. Made me think about when Nola used to live in Utah and we would go out shopping for the day and often stop for lunch. I really miss that. Sigh.
Tonight I am on my own. Back home by 6:00 from my errands (stopped at Joann's for yarn for Mom) and now I am going to finish up my crop class from last week. I have just one more layout to finish. Should be a snap.
I asked one of my bookclub friends if they wanted to go to dinner with me tonight. Here is my snarky side....she is going to a blessing party for a book club lady's baby. Yes. It is the one that I helped organize the huge stroller purchase for in October. I wasn't invited to the blessing however, others from book club were. And I really already knew about it because she keeps posting about it on Facebook. Guess I know where I stand with her. But see here is the problem. If you send out a Facebook event to particular people and you make it private, you should probably keep your requests for RSVP to that group too. I assume my lack of invitation was an oversight and I probably wouldn't have gone anyway. I couldn't help but post something on her Facebook to have a fabulous time tonight. Snark ended.
Its not like I expect to be invited to everything. I know my other friends have things they go do without me. I think we just have a grown up way about it and an understanding we are friends that don't do EVERYTHING together. And I appreciate that.
Hope you are having a great Saturday of a long weekend!
