Hello friends! How was your weekend? We had a pretty relaxed one which was very nice after two weekends away. I don’t remember what we did on Friday, haha. We went out for food and then I think we finished watching A Series of Unfortunate Events (such a weird tv-show, can’t tell if it’s for kids or grownups or a mix of both..but the baby is funny).
Hahaha, Thor, too cute!
“It’s freaking cold outside”
On Saturday morning, we drove to Norwalk to Home Depot and Walmart. I had a few things I wanted to find for Christmas decoration, but man, these stores here in NY and CT, they have very boring stuff and way overpriced. But we did find a wreath for the door that I loved (it was cheap too), some garlands for the stairs and a new sweater for Thor:) We need new candles which was the main reason for our shopping, but all the stores either has the fake ones or the smelly ones in glass jars, and I want just regular normal unscented candles. We bought a bunch at ikea when we moved here and they have lasted for a long time, but I don’t feel like going all the way there for candles (it’s a 1-1.5 hour drive). We went to Bed Bath & Beyond and Michaels too here in Stamford on Sunday to find it, but nope.
Anyway. I don’t actually remember what we did on Saturday either (exciting days, eyh). We worked out, ate sausage, watched the movie The Dictator (such a stupid movie) and I think that’s it.
On Sunday we went grocery shopping + looked for candles. Picked up coffee and had to drive forever to be able to get home. They had blocked off every road due to the parade, even on roads that wasn’t even a part of it. Talk about bad for the environment by having all these cars lined up driving all around the city for no reason trying to get home. So stupid.
In the afternoon, after our coffees, we did actually walk down to the parade. It was the end of it. We didn’t enjoy it very much last year (J didn’t even remember that we went to it), so we didn’t expect much this year. But we thought, why not, we have nothing else to do. But oh boy, people suck. I had to hold Thor in my arms a lot. There were plenty of small children and small dogs, but people didn’t care, they just walked all over them not looking where they were going and strollers kept running over their feet and paws. The parade was same crap as last year.
Back home, I created what’s probably the worlds ugliest teepee ever made for Thor, hahaha. I had stuff laying around in the storage room that I wanted to get rid of but I thought it was more fun to try to be creative. Well, fail! Hhaha, but whatever, I tried:)
And then it was football Sunday. In between some games that J wanted to see, I started Sims3 on play station and created a house that I picture us buying/building in the future. It was easier that way than sketching it out on paper:) Jim watched the bears game all night and I hung out in the bedroom watching youtube with a sleeping Thor by my side, cause I don’t care about football.
Today, I overslept. I usually get up when J leaves for work, but today I wasn’t up until 9! Took T out, he puked, I had breakfast and now I have a long list of stuff to do. So bye.
