Long weekend...

Friday I got to close the store (yippee) -- my 3rd time this week... and then Saturday we had a 12-hour crop (when ladies sign up and pay money to come and work on scrapbooking from noon until midnight -- they get to stay after the store is closed at 9pm and we feed them and give them some prizes and things).

Man was I exhausted after that crop -- I had tried to not consume any caffeine after a certain point (4pm) on Saturday -- (probably was too late by that point, should have kept off the caffeine from about 11am onwards!!) nevermind...

So I made it to church yesterday and it was nice to see everybody (we'd missed the week before because of the cottonwood/cottonweed blooming and sending oodles of little fluffies into the air -- you should have seen us -- we were a pair of runny snuffly moany noses. It was awful. It was so bad that I (keep in mind that I have issues of insomnia etc.) slept from 8pm Saturday through til about 11am Sunday. Mega. Of course my little friend Nyquil helped some too -- for those of you in merry olde england -- it's Vicks Medinite.

After church I ran to Krogers to buy groceries while Andy ran home to start the tidyup -- Mom and Dad came over for a BBQ to celebrate their anniversary (the big 3-6) with us. I found this cute bracelet that you put pictures into (little ones) and made one for Mom -- she loved it! I'll have to see if I can get a picture of it to post on here. And for Dad I found a store that does embroidered words on shirts etc. and got him a nice red golf shirt with the name that Mia is calling him -- Guapa. He lovvvvved it. He might even be wearing it to work today... I'll have to find out.

Anyhow -- good times had by all.
