On Friday I had no plans for this weekend other than to sleep a lot.
So far, I have:
- moved my bed from the front bedroom, which has three outside walls and gets little air circulation from the AC in the living room, to the small bedroom, which has two doors and so gets plenty of airflow. This means that the front bedroom is now a combo dressing room/ yoga room — the other is too small for the dresser and cedar chest. I just hope Bikram doesn’t decide to sue me for doing hot yoga ’round about July!
- gone to my niece’s dance recital. R is almost 4, so her little ballet group’s dance wasn’t exactly coordinated. They were, however, full of energy and enjoyed every moment up on that stage, and were an absolute delight to watch. Unfortunately, I forgot my good camera and had to make due with my little, old point-n-shoot. If you’re so inclined, head over to my flickr page for a couple of blurry shots.
- scored three shirts for $12 at a second-hand store. Actually went in looking for dresses, but oh well.
- went to Home Depot with my sweetie to get the sink and vent/light for the bathroom he’s adding to his house.
- bought a lovely, impressionistic oil painting (pic at the link above) at the Paseo Arts Festival. The festival has grown quite a bit since my last visit in the early 90’s and I probably would have stayed longer if I hadn’t been so warm and a little worried about getting a sun burn. In the hour-plus I was there, however, I saw some beautiful art, including everything from plain white pottery baking dishes to turned wood bowls to Audubon-like illustrations of birds. Other than the piece I bought, my favourite was a set of stained glass windows that used Depression-era glass plates as center medallions. It was a very pretty way to repurpose the dishes and if he’d had one in the pattern I collect I probably would have bought it.
- popped into an open house in the neighborhood, just out of curiosity. It’s a darling house, built in the 1930’s and with a master suite added on the back at some later point. The back yard is shaded and has a small pond with fountain. My favourite bit: the original black and white tile in the front bathroom.
And I’ve still got a whole day of weekend left! Good thing, too, since that whole sleep thing? Not so much.
