Oh, and spent a lot of money--ordered the tile. The insulation is done, the drywall is up, the tape & texture guys are in now. Next Wednesday we'll paint trim & walls. The following Thursday, the work team will come in to do the tile.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My weekend, I ran a D&D game on Friday night (fun! I killed someone too. Bad GM!). Saturday, watched more Buffy with Wallybee. She's a bit hooked. Sunday, we attended her cousin's wedding (just a registry deal, their big ceremonies are happening in China). That was fun. I'm doing better with spoken Chinese, on the twin criteria of (a) recognising more words when I'm listening, and (b) making Wallybee crack up when I'm speaking.
Saturday: running around, getting cold meds and groceries and stuff. Family birthday party + tree trimming.
Sunday: running around, getting insulated drapes and groceries. Brunching. Mocking Pete for foolishly telling Jilli about the pink stuff.
All days: blowing my nose.
I spent the weekend watching dvds and trying to stay warm.
Tonight: Freezing rain.
Tomorrow: Regular rain.
Later on tomorrow: More freezing rain.
Jericho in a Nutshell - spoilery for season 1 - but I don't think it reveals anything about season 2. I'm not sure because I haven't been able to get the whole thing to download. (It's only 2:49 minutes - I'm on dial-up.)

Friday, took the kids to the gym, my mom and sisters got into town late.
Saturday, went Christmas shopping with my sisters while Mom watched the kids. Got a babysitter that night and took Mom and sisters out to a nice dinner.
Sunday, got up at ass o'clock to try to snag a Wii for my twin sister, failed to achieve Wii, went to IHOP for breakfast and sent the family on their way back home. The kids and I watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas about 10 times.
