Acontecimientos de fin de semana

El Viernes:
     After the shock wore off about how much snow was falling out of the sky, we planned our evening out. We ordered a pizza from PH and got everything ready. We decided that the bathrooms need a little more "umph". I decided to paint the trim a glossy white. I didn't know how it was going to look, and to tell you the truth, I was a bit nervous! Sometimes you get those ideas in your head, and in theory, they look amazing. Once you do them, not so much. After the first coat, I knew I was a genius! Right when I finished the first coat, PH showed up! Once full on some delicious Hawaiian pizza, I got back to work. The munchkin when down at about 7:30 so then Michael came and helped me finish it up. We got around 8ish so we sort of had an evening! I was told by Jos that the flick "Taking Chance" was a movie everyone should watch. After experiencing it, I have to agree. You may use a whole box of kleenex and have streaks down your face at the end, but it's worth it. Within the first 5 minutes, the tears leaked over! Just the amount of respect and even admiration of people in this movie, just made me extremely proud. It is based on a true story and I am thankful for this man sharing this story. My heart goes out to anyone who has had to experience this, or will experience it. He won't admit it, but Michael did shed a tear or two. I am thankful everyday, multiple times a day, that him and David made it back. After the movie we did a little canoodling and went to bed.

El Sábado"
     This morning we woke up early and headed to Target. Talk about mania! There was a line, quite a few cars and die hard Twilighters all ready to bust through the doors. We stayed in the car. It was cold and there was snow. Happy First Day of Spring! Haha. The doors opened and the people busted through. Mind you, Target had about 100 copies just on one side of the store alone. We got our 2 copies and headed to get Michael some cinnamon rolls and Mt Dew. As we walked over to the grocery part of the store there was a whole other "Twilight" section. If I would have known that, I would have just come through the other doors. I have them in my possession, so that is all that matters! Now the real test. Could I hold out until Sunday....you'll have to wait and see. The rest of the morning we spent finishing the upstairs bathroom. Everything is done but touching up. We even got one coat on in the downstairs bathroom! What a relief! Michael got the flooring so him and David start that next Friday. Turns out, 4 other townhomes likes ours just went up. Boo! We might be here for a while! Haha. We'll have to wait and see. We halted all work at 4:30 to watch UNI play. I will say, I was a little weary and thought KU would take us down. They were ranked #1. They were suppose to go all the way. Well we didn't let them. I was on the edge of my seat the last 5 minutes of the game clock. We were screaming at the TV. It was bad. Like Hawkeye season all over again! We pulled it through and won. It was a proud moment for us! After the game, we made dinner together and watched a movie. I didn't fall under my own peer pressure. We watched the 2nd disc to The Big Bang Theory.

El Domingo:
     I was hyper active this morning. I think it's because I knew the afternoon was approaching and all I wanted to was see Jana and have our marathon! After groceries, lunch, and wearing the rugrat down, it was time to head over to the Trimbles' house! After getting the light a little darker, it was time for the marathon. Now, watching these 2 movies back to back, wow. I never realized how much the first movie actually kinda of sucked. New Moon is actually pretty factual to the book. Where as Twilight, not so much. I still loved Edward. The day Jana and I are taken by the men in white coats because of our obsession, we will walk in, arm in arm. We then will share a room, devoted to him. Ha! Oh, one little side story. In the middle of the movie marathon, her door bell rang. All I heard was "Do you know the owner of the red SUV" and my heart rate increased. I knew right then, someone hit it. Sure enough, someone did. He was ever so nice and his car had far more damage then mine, but still. Just one more thing to get fixed! After the minor interruption, we were back on. After my 4 hour drool session, I headed over to Michael,s parents house. We raced cars for about an hour and talked about both us needing to move. They did offer for us to live with them if we sell our place and can't find a house. I will have to say this is very tempting. Just mainly due to the dog situation. We will have to see. Now we are finally home, and it's what, 8:30. Man alive! I am half interested int his. Due to "Life" being on The Discovery Channel. I love Geckos!!

Now, list for the week!

1) Good weather = family walks
2) Finish upstairs bathroom = clean, touch up
3) Finish painting downstairs bathroom, including trim
4) Survive the Black Eyed Peas concert so I can make into work on Friday.
5) Get the main level ready for new flooring this weekend!
6) Try to get the Dynamic Trio to calm down....(aka, the dogs and cat are wrestling non-stop. Zoey is not a little lady!!!)

I better go change out of my one of many Edward shirts and get things ready for the week ahead!
