A SYNOPSIS OF EASTER WEEKEND
Thursday: Missed all of Friends, Will & Grace, and ER (so if anyone out there is still keeping up, fill me in). Opted instead for a free meal and a 3-movies-for-$10 deal at Blockbuster. Fell asleep 30 minutes into The Curse of the Jade Scorpion and snored through the entire thing (much to the amusement of everyone else in the room).
Friday: Though it was my first day off since New Year's, I was unable to convince my subconscious that I really didn't have to wake up at 5:30. Did baby shower stuff all day; once again tried to watch The Curse of the Jade Scorpion and, as expected, fell asleep, snoring for the amusement of an entirely new audience.
Saturday: Began baking baby shower cake at 5:30 in the morning, when suddenly realized that I had left the eggs at the Eley's the night before. To avoid a trip to Wal-Mart, I thought I'd be super smart and borrow some eggs from the Wilkins' outdoor refrigerator (as I would be replacing them within a few hours). After successfully risking being arrested in pyjamas and slippers robbing garage refrigerators, I made the cake. However, I forgot to mention the eggs to the Wilkins until that night...and it turns out I stole some of Mr. Carter's fresh eggs. That they had been looking forward to having for breakfast.
Braved the Saturday mall crowd with Aleta and infant; successfully convinced her that it would not be okay to change a diaper in the middle of the food court. Number of Easter dresses tried on: approximately 45,679. Number of Easter dresses purchased: approximately 0.
Viewed 2nd of 3 Blockbuster movies--What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams, which my parents would not let me see at the theatre when it came out (when I was 17, by the way). Most of my movie viewing these days is spent catching up on all the films I wasn't allowed to see. I though it was interesting, but there were so many special effects that I got tired of looking at it after awhile. I wanted to see something real and not imaginary.
Then got sucked into watching this French movie with subtitles that the Peacocks sent over. Fell asleep and snored through it.
Sunday night: Finished laundry while viewing 3rd movie, Pleasantville. I feel really bad about liking this one, b/c the message is just outrightly horrendous. But the special effects were so neat.
