OK! I'm Awake!!

OK, so I have not been a magnificient blogger. But in fairness to you, dear reader, I have had little to say. However, I have now had a fun weekend and therefore have something to blog about.

Friday, being last week, is forgotten, so I'll move on to Saturday. Kelly and I went to see an Invitational Pom Competition. It was quite lovely. All that high kicking and shoulder shaking in unison. Most of the teams did very well. The difficulty for me was that the most advanced teams (which performed towards the end of the afternoon) used exaggerated "facials," which, no doubt unbeknownst to them, had the tendency to make them look goofy. I managed not to laugh, and enjoyed the dances by trying not to focus on the squad members with the most expressive "facials." I guess if they're performing on a football field they need their delight, surprise, affection, cuteness, earnestness to show from a distance; but in a gym, it was overkill.

Anyway, the dances were good -- nicely choreographed and performed, and not particularly trashy -- so the afternoon was fun.

Sunday, after all that drama and excitement, we focused on home life. Daddy and I spent the better part of the day attempting to retrieve our bedroom back from the clutches of the monster dust bunnies. Holey moley, it was gross. I don't know how there is so much dust in that room and not throughout the house. I guess there is dust throughout the house, it just tends to float in the air rather than snuggling under the bed.

Anyway, we cleaned mattress, box spring, dressers, photo frames, hope chest, knitting baskets -- I mean everything. Surprisingly I found far fewer "missing" items than I expected; a scarf, some coins, and two pre-school Christmas presents.

Uncle Steve came over for dinner (and to watch football games). We had Cajun shrimp and a nice visit, mostly hanging out and getting the scoop on his visit back to Canada last month. The Canadians were nicer to him than in the past, but not due to the election, more due to the fact that he was hanging out with different Canadians. Haha. MK is looking at a job in the States and should hear in February, so we'll see how things go. Speaking of go, that is what I am about to do. I will be posting again soon to share my activities of Monday and Tuesday because, sports fans, I went to New York. Yes, that New York. Well, don't be jealous because, after all, you are somewhere having fun; but other than that, ok, be jealous. Anyway, I want to see if I can write up a post and add some pictures so the entry will be more entertaining. (I had no pictures of dust bunnies or pom facials to add to this post, but I think they would have helped the narrative a bit, do you not agree?) So, TTFN, and I will post as soon as I can.
