Weekend Catch Up

As I said last week, I had decided that this weekend i would let Röbert be Daddy on duty and really have some fun with his kiddos, something I know he adored!  Because I was free and I hadn’t seen nearly enough of my biffle Karen, I decided she and I could have lil’ bonding time too.  I got up bright and early on Saturday, skipped the gym (this is a real sacrifice for me, but K is so worth it!) and went over and waited on her front porch.  She seemed surprised to find me there when she came out to get the paper, but we had coffee together and planned our day.  She said she had plans but I wouldn’t take no for an answer.  We were off to the city for shopping and lunch then coffee then home to watch basketball with our men (guys and their brackets, right?).

That night she and Mitch had tickets to some concert thingy.  It was at this fancy old home with people in costumes, who knows?   Mitch insisted I take his ticket so he and Röbert could catch up and watch even more basketball.  Karen seemed a lil’ uncomfortable but of course I knew we would have a ball.  I fell asleep but it was very culturally edifying.

By the time she and Mitch had finished arguing about something down the hall there wasn’t time to change. At least one of us looked pretty!

Dog Emergency (again!)

After Röbert left for his business trip this morning I went up to my room to try on hats, since I had gotten a bunch in my Stitch Fix box this month.

I think this one is super cute on me. What do you think?

While I was up there the doorbell rang and it was Mitch, who I seem to be running into everywhere lately.  Apparently Beefeater had run away from home once again and of course the Sullivans wanted Saint Lah Lee to come to the rescue one more time.  Mitch kept trying to hold my hand though, which was sooooo awkward.

He seems awfully dressed up to look for a lost dog, right?

I was getting uncomfortable, but he finally left and I heard a knock at the back door.  This time it was Karen, looking for Beefeater.  I gave her a cup of tea and she started crying and telling me about her marital problems.  I mean, I can see why she would want to leave Mitch, but she doesn’t.  She thinks he wants to leave her.  So strange.

I finally got her to stop crying Sheesh!

I tried to be a good friend and listen, but I couldn’t wait to post about it on Facebook, without naming any names of course.  She finally left and I went out to look for Beefeater.

Well, I don’t know if you remember when I allowed to family down the street to watch my lil’ angles last summer and they let them watch television and eat sweets?  I don’t know their name, since they don’t speak English, but as I was power walking past their house, just as it was getting dark, I could hear whimpering in their garage.  I broke in and found Beefeater there!  They weren’t home, but I am just sure that they were going to fatten him up and eat him, and I told Karen as much.  I also can’t wait to post about THAT on Facebook.

Crazy Misunderstanding

Oh my, I had the strangest thing happen today.  All of the children were at school and I was just starting to think about lunch when someone knocked on my back door!  You will never guess….it was Mitch Sullivan.

Apparently sometime after my fourth or fifth mojito on Saturday night, I had made plans with him to go to lunch today.  Isn’t that just the strangest thing?  I do not remember.  Well, I was hardly dressed to go anywhere, but I didn’t want to embarrass him (he seemed kind of nervous anyway) so I just pretended that I had planned on it all along.  He took me to a very nice restaurant in a hotel several towns away.  The whole thing was very awkward.  He asked the hostess to take a picture of us and he kept mentioning that they had rooms you could rent upstairs.  So odd.

Casual sweater for a nice luncheon.
