Great Saturday


Today I feel like I had a really complete, productive, yet relaxing Saturday. I slept in. Fixed my printer (I think), did chores, ran a ton of errands. Great news is Doug and Stef took Weston home from the hospital - hoorah!! Took my Mom out for a burger, fries and Mountain Dew!! Yahoo!! I did shopping, got my watch repaired, tried on shoes (didn't buy any) and got ready for tomorrow night's Oscars with Brighton and Jordan. We are rather snobby about it because I really like to watch with folks who have seen many of the movies and don't talk about other stuff - it requires focus to fully enjoy!! Yes, an Oscar snob!! So I've got out my gold lame' tablecloth, gold paper plates and, of course, the ballots and prizes!!! Tonight I watched the great Jazz game, BYU (boo-hoo loss by 1 point)and some tivo (Cold Case & Criminal Minds). Good day, sunshine!!

we could have been anything but ourselves






The last few days have been so wonderful. Eric and I had several days together.
The big event was Chelsea's mfa show at Claremont Graduate College. It was awesome and wonderful. She had rousing response from faculty, friends and relatives. Everyone helped with her reception. Brighton and Jordan did a whole lot of chopping and shredding to help with her reception of tacos and chips and guoc., etc. I helped man the kitchen, but we were all so proud and best of all, Chelsea was HAPPY!! She had friends even drive up from San Diego for that night as well as Ventura. It was a wonderful night!!
The afternoon of the show I went with Whit to have lunch with Heidi at Warner Brothers and that was really fun. Heidi took us over to the museum where all the Harry Potter memorabilia is and Batman. The sorting hat pronounced me in the House of Hufflepuff. So happy for Heidi!
We also heard all about Whit's amazing trip to New York where he went to see "Speed-the-Plow" and was able to have dinner with his idol, William H. Macy for three hours the next night. He is still flying!!!

Weston is better


Last week Weston went into the hospital - and for way too long. He is actually still there!!! It is so lousy to see him in pain or even listless and just waiting to get better. Tough time for the mom and dad too. One night Eric and I were able to give Doug and Stef a dinner break so they could go out with her visiting sister. I had gone up every night after work to see him and one night we watched some Winnie-the-Pooh. He fell asleep and I didn't dare move, so I ended up watch a whole lot of Winnie-the-Pooh. It's a day-to-day call and they are hoping to get to go home tomorrow on Saturday which will be close to a two-week endurance trek for them.

Stef's Candles


Since Eric was in town this last weekend we wanted to celebrate Stef's birthday a little bit and a little early. Thought I would try something different besides cake and so made a trifle with kiwi and raspberries. We had a Mexican lunch and then Stef blew out her candles. Fun to pull a chair up to the stove for Weston and have him help stir on the stove.
Doug and Jordan helped Eric load some furniture in a U-Haul to take back to PV and Stef, Brighton and I got to chat.
Nice Saturday - love Saturdays!!!
