Weekend Update

No, not the SNL skit. What I've been up to since I last blogged...

Christmas Weekend (Fri-Sun)

As usual, pretty low key. We basically lounged around the house for three days, which was nice. Our relatives all live out of state, so it was just the 4 of us...with a couple visits from sister's boyfriend of course. All in all, a pretty relaxing weekend.

Gifts I got:

• Foot spa and care products
• Isotoner Slippers
• Target Gift Cards
• A photo album
• National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation on DVD
• A letter opener
• Far Side wall calendar
• Candy
• A sportcoat
• A Jump Drive

Monday:

Went with Mom to see a screening of the British Television Advertising Awards put on by the Walker Art Center. This year's ads were OK...not quite as funny or dramatic as in past years, but still enjoyable.

Tuesday:

We all went and had dinner with some family friends. (A woman Mom went to high school with and her family). Visiting with them is always enjoyable...had been quite a while since I'd seen the two older of their 3 kids (both in their mid 20s). Son B is pursuing a Master's at a school in California, and daughter L has just returned after a couple years overseas working for Wycliffe. Youngest daughter R, the same age as my sister Jena, is starting at the U of M this spring after a semester off.

And tonight? Shopping I think...time to spend the Gift Cards.
