Turning out to be a loverly weekend (and I don’t mean the weather)
By Moriah on September 19th, 2009
(Just popping in for a quick update on this gray Saturday morning.)
Thursday was much better than Wednesday, and yesterday was better still.
As in, I needed yesterday.
Drew got picked up for school in the morning and I hightailed it back to bed. It was so worth the girls getting into the pink cupcake sprinkles. A little sugar never hurt anyone, right?
I watch my friend Nicky’s three boys on Fridays for her music class and it was a much calmer time than last week. They sat at the lunch table for at least an hour. (Dumbo makes for very slow eaters, apparently.)
And then as soon as the kids were down for a nap, I *got* to run errands all by myself since Andy had the day off. I wandered calmly through Hobby Lobby even though I felt like dancing and singing just from the sheer fact that after such a long week I was finally out by myself at one VERY FUN STORE. (Post soon coming on my latest project, which turned out hilariously cute.)
I even made it back in time to stop at our branch library before they closed for the weekend, and picked up my next book. (Finally finished all of the six current Outlander books, around 1,000 pages each. I don’t believe the seventh has been released yet. And when it is, all bets are off.)
AND THEN my sisters came over and Andy and I left for a dinner date. (Mexican.) I ordered off the kids’ menu in a sudden flash of genius. I mean, it’s not like my stomach had room for a whole dinner after all those chips n’ salsa and sweet tea AND a live baby growing in there, ya know? Plus, hello, way cheaper.
After the kids were in bed (meaning after multiple potty trips and cups of water were served), I started on my project, which I will get my trusty little model to try on and post pictures of on Monday.
See? I told you I needed yesterday.

Sounds like fun, an outing plus fodder for a new project :o)
On our last date Matty and I suddenly realized we could split dinner which worked out perfect since I’m finding I also have reduced stomach space these days ;o) And you know what, we still did’t even completely clean our plates….and we saved the price of a whole dinner, which meant I asked for coffee and a piece of raspberry lemon cake at Barnes and Noble later in the evening!
Yay for good days! Can’t wait to see your project. I’m working on one this weekend myself…hilariously cute might be an understatement!
Can’t wait to see what you’re working on!
Oh, I feel so special that I got a sneak peak! You’re gonna like your new book. A LOT easier to get through than Outlander! Thanks for recommending them to me!
Glad you found your sunshine amidst all the dreary weather. Seriously, will the rain ever stop ??? ?
When Warren was dating me I always used to get a kids meal at Chick-fil-A. Great idea for a late-pregnancy date…would never work for me in my current stage of life, but I have so many memories of eating what seemed like a normal-sized portion during those “last days” and regretting it. Can’t wait to see your project!
Just realized that sounded funny, like our dates were at Chick-fil-A. :) Well, true confessions…some of them were, but only when we had siblings tagging along (indoor play place and all).
Good stuff. I love, love hobby lobby!!! But since I have pink spray paint, rolled corkboard, a window, a mirror, and paints all eager and waiting to be transformed into something inspired…I best not go there. For now.
The next Outlander book comes out later this month I think. I am looking forward to it, I think. I really liked the first two books, muddled through the middle three, and enjoyed the sixth one more. I like Jamie and Claire’s story the best.
