Saturday Update
I’m so happy it’s Saturday. The week was long and I felt as though I was constantly being rushed to complete chores and tasks and errands, both at home and at work. Alas, I can relax a bit before the start of next week. Or so I thought.
Last night I got a wild hair on my ass to clean the house. That’s good right? Well, no, not really — the urge to clean began at 11:46 p.m. and I actually ran the vacuum cleaner closer to midnight. The funniest thing? No one else in the house woke up. Doug and Dawson sleep like bears in hibernation. I wish I was so lucky.
Today, I’m working online for a few hours and then this afternoon I’m taking Dawson to Panacea, the fundraiser put on by Pacelli High School and the Stevens Point Area Catholic Schools. Doug is alumni (even though he graduated from the public school, SPASH) and because we’re good Catholics, we go every year.
Dawson’s main attraction is the carnival rides. I see a carousel, dragon coaster and ferris wheel in my future.
Tonight, my husband and I have plans to have dinner at the Red Mill, a local supper club that we both love. We haven’t been out to dinner at a fancy restaurant in ages, so this will be very nice. I’m so excited because the Red Mill has a wonderful prime rib on Saturday nights. I’m jonesin’ for a slice of that.
Last weekend, I bought Dawson a new video game for the Nintendo DS called Mater-National. We haven’t been able to put that game down. Doug and I are competing against each other and it’s getting ugly.
For awhile, Doug was kicking my tail, but then I practiced after he relinquished the DS and now I’m beating the snot out of him. It’s quite silly for two adults to be so involved in a video game, and poor Dawson is pissed off that his parents play it more than he does, but seriously - the kid will live. Mommy & Daddy have some fierce competition going on. Loser has to do all the housework, by HIMSELF, for six months, WITHOUT COMPLAINING OR MAKING THE WINNER FEEL GUILTY.
But really, if you have a DS and want a fun game to play, Mater-National is the bomb. We loooooove it.
In other news, Dawson starts preschool next Tuesday, and as a last hurrah before life goes back to it’s normal insanity, Doug and I decided to take the Doodlebug to a Brewer’s game on Monday night. This will be my fifth game this year, and Dawson’s third….and Doug’s first game this season. He’s been so busy with work and his fishing excursions that he couldn’t make it to a game thus far.
We’re very excited because our seats are in the first concourse at left field (perfect for ogling Ryan Braun. Me, not Doug. Doug will probably ogle the cheerleader girlies). It will be the last baseball game of the season that we’re able to attend, so I hope the Brew Crew kicks some behind.
Okay. That’s pretty much the scoop around here. What are y’all up to this fine day?
