*yawn*

Spent the weekend cleaning. Cleaned on Friday night, then Saturday morning went out to my parents' house to do laundry and go shopping. (A store near my parents' house is closing after at least 20 years of business, and their fake Christmas trees were on sale. While it was fun to go out and buy a real tree with boannan and jasunshine last year, it was kind of a mess. So I got a really nice artificial for a steal.) Came home Saturday afternoon and cleaned like mad. fava_bean and BJ came over that night. We went for food around the corner, had margaritas with dinner, then came home and BJ and I split a bottle of almond-flavored sparkling wine. It sounds horrible, but went down easy. Then we watched "Fruitcake" for a while and mocked it. (bigboobedcanuck and deeablo know what that means.) I went to bed around 2 a.m., feeling rather giggly from the booze. Yesterday I got up and started cleaning again. Mom came over to help me out, as I had to get the AC unit out of the window and downstairs, and I needed someone there to make sure I didn't fall down the stairs in the process. So now my apartment is fairly clean in preparation for my cousin Holly's visit this weekend. Yay! Last night I made chicken casserole & biscuits for dinner, and finally sat down to watch Finding Neverland, which I'd been putting off because I knew it would make me cry. And it did. As soon as the orphans showed up, I started crying and couldn't stop until the movie ended. Thank God for the outtakes of Johnny and Radha playing their scenes drunk, and the fart machine. (Also, Johnny with an Irish accent? *SWOON*)

And now I'm back at work, doing flashcards again. But I had oatmeal with peaches, blueberries, and Grape-Nuts mixed in for breakfast, so I'm feeling pretty good. And I think boannan and I are meeting for lunch today, so that's cool.

I got notice from Amazon.com that my double-disc Batman Begins DVDs have been shipped and should be at my place either Wednesday or Thursday. Yay! BATMAN!!!

And that's all I got.
