What I Did Last Weekend

Our host is Gattina. Come join us and tell us what YOU did this past weekend! After all, you never know when you will need an alibi!

I was feeling oddly reminiscent this weekend, and often found my self thinking about my grandmother, Grandma Honey. In so many ways she was my role model, and someone who definitely made sure I understood the rules of life. How I wish she had still been alive when I could have used her advice the most.

So I wrote about her, and then I wrote about things she would have said, if she had still been here. Somehow, I felt comforted.

Friday I was not too busy, so Hubby and I went off to see the movie “The Descendants”. Great movie, with George Clooney in the best acting job ever for him. In fact the movie touched me that I came home to see if it was a screenplay or adapted from a book. Lucky for me, it came from a book! I checked Amazon, and down loaded the book and started to read. I read in between doing the laundry all day Saturday. I was lazy about doing the laundry this week, so I had 6 loads to do, which is almost unheard of for me.

I washed dried and folded everything, and put it all away, then cooked our dinner last night. Baked potatoes and a London broil steak. Good.

Sunday morning, Hubby dragged me out of bed…no kidding…and forced me to go and ski. Now it was 4 degrees (f) and there was a stiff wind. He stopped to get a quick breakfast at McDonalds, and soon we pulled up at Gunstock.  It was crowded and cold and rather miserable. It was the kind of cold hitting you between your eyes, piercing your head, like an ice cream headache, but with out the ice cream!  However, I skied, and when my toes and fingers were numb, we went back to the lodge, changed and then off we went to get the grocery shopping done.Tonight I still feel a bit numb.

When we arrived home, I started to make lunch and I clicked on the propane stove and NO PROPANE! We were completely out. Hubby was worried we might starve, or be forced to eat peanut butter, but I assured him that I have many ways to cook a meal. Rotisserie grille, electric frying pan, toaster oven, microwave, and crock pot! I managed to make mashed potatoes, butternut squash and salmon pin wheels for dinner. Not a problem at all.

Then things kept going wrong. My laptop computer mouse died, Norton anti virus was defeated and suddenly I had viruses controlling the computer and I couldn’t get things under control for several hours. I was a wreck!

I am also feeling sad about Whitney Houston. So much talent, and yet all those insecurities eating away at her. She probably never knew that she was loved. Sad.

So that wraps up my weekend. It was busy and crazy and most of all…COLD!

Have a good week everyone!!!
