Friday - up early and tore into the walk-in closet. Everything out, about 1/2 of it (and some other things) back in. Closet is actually walk-in-able now - heck, we could comfortably seat four around a small table in there. Nice! And, contents are 90% clothing or clothing-related items. This is Good. Of course, that means that the Other Stuff that came out is strewn around the living room, dining room, etc. but we're working away on that. Oh, and baked a batch of Amish bread rolls, a carrot cake, and gingersnaps. Closet took most of the day, quick shower and then over to Bundy & Kid's for...
Friday night - dinner (BundyBundles, aka chicken cordon bleu) with Yumi's Sunshine Carrots and rice and my homemade bread rolls and carrot cake, with gingersnaps for snacking. Watched Trailer Park Boys: the Movie - freaking hilarious but, well, full of profanity and sex and drugs and drinking... well, we loved it, it was entertaining. "Bacon, bacon, bacon!" Knit on mom's sock and the wedding afghan.
Saturday - up early again, finished off (most) of the closet stuff and some other tidying, then over to Mom & Dad's for tv-golf, Eragon movie, and the Habs vs. Leafs game. Eragon was a fun little fantasy-type movie, dragons and heroes and bad guys, etc. A pretty blatant Star Wars rip-off in terms of plotline, actually, but the reliable evilness of John Malkovich as the king and Robert Carlyle as his wizard-henchman made it fun. And, of course, Jeremy Irons in the Obi-Wan Kenobi/mentor role. Jeremy Irons, wow I love him.
Chicken wraps and salad for dinner, along with more of my gingersnaps and carrot cake (hint: if you're spending the weekend visiting people, make stuff in big batches that divide easily!) The hockey game was a nailbiter from start to finish - sadly, our Habs couldn't pull out the win and are now out of the playoffs. Boo. Knit on the wedding afghan and the Wednesday's Cardigan. Got home VERY late and fell into bed with excruciating backache - combination of all that cleaning/lugging of stuff and a less-than-optimal tv-watching couch at the folks' place.
Sunday - slept in to (woohoo!) 8:30 and then over to Sandy & Dan's for Easter Dim Sum breakfast. Everyone's feeding us this weekend! Back still aching so home for a chair-nap after breakfast; caught Amadeus on the History channel and dozed off and on through that whilst Peter went back to B&K's to pick up the futon and install the taps we didn't get to on Friday. Then more baking, which lead to:
On the left: raspberry-ginger chocolate tarts. On the right: from-scratch lemon meringue pie. Both favourites of Sandy & Dan, who are feeding us dinner in about an hour. Turkey with all the fixin's. Mmm. Then after an early dinner we're coming back home to watch The Pursuit of Happyness and fall into bed, because I have to work tomorrow, unfortunately. But it's been a really great weekend!EDIT: Forgot to tell you about the side-trip to the llama farm and wool shop on Saturday. But, it deserves its own post and I left my goodies in the car so - tomorrow, ok?
