What I Did This Weekend

Remember how I was anticipating snow?  By the time Friday rolled around, we were all pretty sure it would just be a light dusting.

We were wrong.

I could tell you about snow day.  But I’ve already done that here.  Second verse, same as the first.

So guess what I did during snow day?

First I took Cecilia to the vet.  Thank goodness he is just a couple blocks away.  Cecilia’s leg kicks are either spinal or neurological.  It’s not a patella issue, which is what my online sleuthing was indicating.  Nothing can be done to treat it, but he doesn’t think it will get much worse.  And in fact it seems much better today (Sunday).

Then I made a gift for Cricket.  How cute are these barrettes?

I hope Cricket likes them

Ok, she really doesn’t have enough hair for them yet, but she’ll grow into the gift.

See?

Did you want to see what they look like on a model?  Because Cecilia volunteered.

You're pushing it, Feeder

The rest of the day was spent with a comfy sofa, the afghan my mom made for me, my favorite sock monkey slippers

Feeder, put the camera away.

and a book.

But not this one:

Hmmmm

I’m 25 pages in and I can already tell this poor girl is about to get her world rocked.  I don’t know how it’s going to happen, but I can sense jaded bitterness by page 115.  I’m not sure if I can motivate myself to read all the gory details.

So I read this book instead:

The series came highly recommended by a coworker.  I’m on Book Four.  My friend’s eleven year old son tells me that I’m “in for a real treat” in Book 5.

I can’t wait.  Maybe I’ll get another snow day next weekend.
