This weekend was the Shopping Weekend. E's birthday is coming up so we had to get a few things for her party. Then at Costco we saw a bunch of those cute foam block letters and numbers that you can put on the floor, so we got those. Then we started thinking, "hey, E is almost too big for a lot of her clothes!" so it was off to the Outlet mall for shirts, mostly. Oh and while we were there the Coleman outlet was having an uber-sale on camping tents, so we got one of those. Phew! Shop 'til you drop, indeed!
We still have a long list of things to do before the party. Like...well, I won't get into the details, but suffice it to say that it will be a busy week. Just getting the house ready is a huge chore unto itself. Whenever the house gets to a certain level of disaray I think I need to do a serious deep clean. Um, yeah, when do I have the time for that? Evelyn is a mess maker, a destructive bobbler (baby/toddler), and just keeping things tidy, let alone clean, is nigh unto impossible. I could live with tidy. Clean is like imagining you won the lottery: nice, but not gonna happen. Except, before Saturday, it must happen! Ack!
Oh and I need to bake a cake and decorate the cake and buy balloons and...the list goes on. I did, thankfully, finish the cardigan I knit for E. It is cute. And it fits! (Mostly.)
And, to top everything off, I lost my keys. Like LOST lost my keys. Neither Jon nor I has seen them since I drove home Friday evening. I didn't use them at all this weekend (Jon and I went everywhere together and he did most of the driving), so when I tried to leave for work this morning I realized they were missing. GONE. I called around to the shops we frequented this weekend, but nothing. *Sigh* I really really really hope we find them. Replacing keys in this day and age of computer chips and remote locks is no cheap endeavor, and I'm not even sure how to go about getting some of the things replaced. YMCA card, King Soopers card, library card, etc. What a pain.
