w-w-w-weekend!

sorry, y'all. i can't believe how bad i've gotten at this blogging thing, recently. i guess it's cause i check my email and blog before i go to bed, and i've been spending so much time not sleeping in my own bed recently. i spent a lot of time with d this weekend. saturday was her first square dance class. it was fun to be an angel- a dancer coming to help, not learn- and to chat with all the people i knew, and see all the new students. and it was fun to see how much we actually have learned, with all the extra stuff they've been craming down our throats, keeping one step ahead of us, it was fun to see that it actually works! d had a really good time too, which i was glad about. she kept giggling and saying "i like being a boy!" which i found totally humorous. we went back to her place and made enchiladas for dinner- just as good as z's- and i read to her.

i really wanted to go to the all day sing sunday morning, and she wanted to go to church, but instead we decided to get frisky. so instead on saturday we just went to help carrie and ashley- ashley is moving in with carrie. we didn't get there in time to help the actual moving, but we painted over the lovely blue of ashley's apt with primer and polar bear white. it was so cold though! brrr. since i had spent the night at d's, i was wearing my fave pair of new jeans, perfect for moving, but not so good for painting. esp. when one is short, stuck doing the bottoms of things, and hence kneeling on the drop cloth. i got all sorts of splotches on my fave new jeans. ;-( but when i got home i scrubbed them with a toothbrush and laundry detergent, and now they aren't as noticeable. i typed in the inventory for work, and then d was BACK, to pick me up again, cause i was going to her place to watch the L word since she still has cable. you know how dubious i am about tv shows, but so many people have told me how i need to watch it, i am going to try it for a few episodes and see how it goes.

jr and i have been playing all sorts of games for learning, which i find lots of fun- i find kids easier to deal with during structured, rather than unstructured activities. and after reading with me sunday, d told the cutest story on monday. carrie and ashley were selling their old couch and d needed a couch, so she borrowed a van and picked it up yesterday since everyone but me had the day off. jr was having the best time sitting in the front seat being able to see everything, and he kept sounding out signs, and d could hear him thinking really hard, going ka-ka-ka-tit-tit-tit-a-a, kit-a, cr-ta. and finally h asked, "mommy, what does c-t-a spell?"

I really think that the L Word was best in the first two seasons. I LOVED season one so much I watched within moments of getting each of the discs from Netflix. I find the characters endearing and frustrating in the best possible way, and I think the show is actually very well done. I tend to think that if you're starting out watching the new season having never seen the show before, you're probably in a better place than if you'd started watching at the beginning of last season. There are some threads being carried along from the past, but there are a lot of fresh starts and new characters for everyone to get to know.
