Weekender

by  

Since Friday and Saturday are my days off for the foreseeable future, I've been trying to get as much done on Friday as I can so I can relax on Saturday. Doesn't always work out that way, but I do my best.

On Friday I visited my Dad and stepmom, and gave them some gifts I bought at the Wharf in Newport, RI. For my stepmom I bought a Rhode Island Red Rooster candle holder, with butterscotch candles. See, when my stepmom redecorated the kitchen, she mentioned that she liked roosters to my brother who was helping her. Soon enough, everyone was bringing in rooster-themed stuff for the kitchen and there were roosters everywhere in the kitchen. I learned that after I had given her the gift. My stepmom wasn't crazy about them, but just thought they were a nice thing. Oh well. For my Dad I bought him a bag of saltwater taffee, one of his favorite candies. At first I was going to get him a nice geode at the geological shop there at the Wharf, but I kept thinking of coming home and telling my Dad, "Hey Dad! I went to Rhode Island and I bought you this rock!" Needless to say, I think he liked the taffee better. While I was there I visited with my step-siblings and my sister. I also contributed to help get my brother Eric's bike out of hoc. It was his birthday so I had no problem chipping in.

I was planning on going out to the drive-in with my friend Kelly after getting home. When I arrived at her street I called the phone number she gave me and all I got was an answering machine. I didn't have her exact address so I didn't want to knock on some stranger's door. After driving around a bit and calling and honking, I gave up and drove home. I haven't gotten any word from her since. I don't know :(

Saturday I made the decision to try doing TV dinners to plan my meals. I didn't do much else about it, but I did get laundry done and played some Warcraft with Goob. After Goob went to bed I did some cleaning up around the house. It's not perfect but it's at least acceptable if I have some friends over(yeah like that ever happens :o). At least I got some good rest for the next day.
