MLK Day!

And I'm the only one who had to wake up and go anywhere. Kids are out of school today and tomorrow. I was able to snag a vacation day tomorrow. It's my first day of school. Just thought I'd use it as a rest/prep day. I had a busy and fulfilling weekend. I am in a good state of mind right now. Sleepy but content.
Friday night, Hubby and I snuck away for a movie. Saw The Season of the Witch with Nicholas Cage. It was good. Not great, but I was entertained.
Saturday, I spent 320.00 on books for school. Still need one more for hubby but it is on another campus so I didn't have time to go get it. Elliebear went to her friend's bday party @ a local bowling alley and Cici and I went to the grocery store where I spent another 130.00 bucks there. And I ran out of time so I only made it through half the store. Yay for supplying staples for a family of 8!
Saturday night I met up with some wonderful Seabee wives for a GNO! We met @ BJs and ate dinner, saw the weirdest movie called Black Swan and then had coffee. Lots of laughs and the movie was amazing. The more I think about it the more I like it. It was dark and beautiful and so sad in the end. I really needed that break.
Sunday I spent literally the whole morning and afternoon doing laundry. It's my chore and I got behind. Hubby says how can you get behind when it never ends!?! Ha Ha. He's so funny! Hubby and I watched 6 more episodes of 24. We have been renting the DVDs for the 8th and final season. I jumped on the bandwagon too late. But I am glad I don't have to wait a week at a time to see what happens! I'd be going nuts!
I have been propositioned to make some blankets. I also made a scarf and purse for Elliebear's friend's bday gift. I didn't have time to shop but was able to crochet during breaks at work or while watching TV. So it worked out perfectly. I also made a purse for Shannon's daughter to give along with a toy chef's set @ her bday party on 01-29. I was thinking of a business name. The dictionary was useful: 'waltz' means 'to move breezily or casually or to progress easily or successfully'. 'Web' means 'something formed by or as if by weaving or interweaving. Or something having an interlaced or lattice like appearance.' So for now, the only name on the list is "Waltzing Web Creations". It's cheesy, but I like it.
I want to make it through today with flying colors. I am looking forward to sleeping in late tomorrow.
