Weekend in review

 - Saturday I tried to sleep in, but was rudely awaken by the dog who jumped up on the bed and ran from side to side, attempting to jump over my legs, but failing miserably, while he avoided my husband who was chasing him to remove his sock from the dog's mouth.  It wasn't quite nine o'clock.  I got up, grabbed my phone, and climbed into Darcy's vacant bed to play the new games I'm obsessed with on my Iphone.

- While on Iphone playing the above games I got a text from Kelly who wished to meet me up the street at our local cafe for breakfast.  While I wasn't dressed and was quite content to linger in Darcy's clean room, that had taken me three hours the day before to clean, the thought of the cafe's creme brulee french toast had me texting back I would be ready in ten minutes.

- Met Kelly (with the girls) and enjoyed my creme brulee french toast while sitting outside enjoying the broiling Florida sun that shone down on my back, the only part not covered by the rainbow striped umbrella over our table.  We lingered after breakfast not sure that we wanted to continue on with the hussle and bussle that was to become our day.

- The girls and hubby hemmed and hawed about accompanying me on my weekend visit to Connie's and so I marched out of the house in irritation and visited her alone.  We had a nice chat and I completed her grocery shopping for her.  I then headed out to the mall.

- Which was a mistake because trying on bathing suits once again soured my mood, as did the phone call I received from hubby and daughters stating they were heading up to Grandma Connie's to meet me.  They met her without me.  We met up later for dinner at the Olive Garden.

- After dinner Darcy and I continued shopping because we weren't ready to end the day.  Madison and Tom headed home.  Darcy and I went to a different mall and ended up buying her a third dress for the 8th grade graduation that has become larger than Prince William's upcoming marriage.  The girls need a dress for the graduation itself, which will be held outdoors, and for the party, that will be in the evening at a country club.

- Enjoyed the Super Moon outside upon our return.  Dabbled with photographing it, but have decided it will not win any photography awards, although the foliage picture might.

- Found to my horror that, despite my belief that all Hoosiers filled out a NCAA basketball bracket each March Madness, this is not the case.  Kelly doesn't care for basketball, thus causing me to wonder if she was adopted from China.  Lost my pick of Pitt to beat Duke in the finals.  Wondering now if maybe I've been away from the state for too long.

- Spent Sunday at a third mall shopping with the eldest daughter this time who is the one graduating and who is the one without any dresses.  Came to the realization that she finds it a torture to shop with me because I'm obviously an idiot who knows nothing about fashion.  While I might not know fashion I do not believe I am an idiot, and I do know what looks good and what doesn't.  I also remember feeling those same feelings about my own mother.  Very conflicting and not how I wanted to spend my Sunday.

- Decided my dog matches my tile floors.

- Headed for bed and realized that the sheets I took off the bed to wash that morning hadn't magically reappeared on the bed.  Wondered how comfy the new couch was in the Steelers room, but knew that come Monday I might not be so cheerful!
