Current Mood : Anticipatory !
Sorry yesterday's entry ended so abruptly. Beloved Hubby came home - with surprises ! Much as I loved the huge cake, the one just for me captured my attention. He got me Charlotte ! Isn't she adorable ? I wasn't sure if I wanted her, but I just love her now. You know, one day, I'm gonna have to go see Princess and the Frog.
So I never returned to work on the dress I started yesterday. We grabbed a quick dinner, rented a movie, and settled in to dinner, cake, and doll deboxing. G-Force is about some secret squirrels - no, sorry, secret guinea pigs - or something, it wasn't too engaging for me, especially when there's cake and a new doll in the same room. To me, they spent entirely too much time discussing / whining which of them (hamsters, moles, guineas) were cute, and which weren't. Great. Appearance anxiety amongst the CGI.
Niecy Nash also had a role, which is pretty much identical to her stint on Clean House - she saw something she didn't like, and stomped around and shrieked dramatically until someone else took care of it. At least she didn't try armchair analysis of just why the mole felt dead, and why his cage looked so bad. You'll be relieved to learn that, even in a film role, she's not without a hair-flower.
Ah, I'm just bein' bitter. I'll be glad to see some new CH episodes, if they ever make any. I'm erasing the same ones over and over every week.
In the interim, I cleaned my own house a bit today - with Beloved Hubby home Monday, I got a late start on things. But the dishes are caught up, and the laundry is slowly getting back under control. Friday has no problems going into the trash, dragging his prize into the living room and shredding it until he's caught. He looks so hurt and contrite when I yell at him to stay out of there, but within five minutes, he's digging again. I need to get a lidded can next week. I hate picking up and tossing trash once, so picking up the same empty bag from lunch meat three or four times just jumps on my nerves !
Not sure if I'll do any housework tomorrow - I'm thinking of going buck-wild on my closet, though - since we're expecting an inch or two of ice. Not snow, ice. Fifty-two degrees out today, black ice tomorrow. Go figure. Beloved's planning on staying home, doing what he can in his Shop, so I nicked off after dinner and snagged the few groceries we needed, and a short ton of snack food. We actually needed milk (our last gallon expired Sunday) and DC's cat food, but all the rest was comfort junk. I'm sort of looking forward to things, long as we don't lose power !
Hope you're warm and comfy tonight !
