Not all of my plans came to fruition. Nevertheless, I did survive.
Friday I watched "Ground Hogs Day". It was on during the day. I thought THGGM planned to watch it at night (like we always do), so I was going to impress him with my fabulous ability to quote from favorite scenes. Disappointing things like that are always happening to me.
On Saturday I cooked a lot. I never left the house. THGGM left once and found it not to be to his liking. He isn't a wimp about driving like I am, but it was nasty out there.
I spent most of Saturday cooking and also putting things away in my art room. THGGM moved all of my sewing stuff up there too. I think I went up five separate times to put away 100 things. That's 500 things. I also filled one large trash bag and one large thrift store box. Oh, it felt good to accomplish something.
On Sunday, we slept in. I normally hate sleeping in. I get a migraine if I don't get up at the same time every day. But, that didn't happen. THGGM got it into his head to rearrange EVERY cupboard and EVERY drawer in the kitchen. He finds this kind of sorting and pitching activity to be a weird sort of fun. It also made it impossible for me to cook, so we just reheated all the leftover food from Saturday as needed. Youngest Son moved out most of his stuff. He seems really excited about having a 'study' in his new bedroom. THGGM becomes actually gleeful anytime someone removes books from the house. THGGM removed a large trashbag from the kitchen, and also filled a box to bring to the thrift store.
I never picked up Wuthering Heights until Sunday night when I went to bed. Now I am determined to finish the stupid thing. I hate it. But, I do have my principles to consider. I cannot let my pile of unfinished books extend to more than three. I haven't finished "A Prayer for Owen Meany" yet. And, I have a Miss Read floating around somewhere. My parents haven't had as many appointments this year as they did last year, so my Maria Montessori book is yet to be finished too. Saturday night I finished "North to the Orient". Excellent book.
I only filled in 20 answers in the crossword puzzle book THGGM bought. We never played Scrabble. Time really flies when you're stuck home.
Time really flies when you're not, too.

My Dear Hubby's idea of rearranging and organizing is pushing one pile of his hunting stuff aside to make room for another, hahahaha! The house is NOT where his interests lie. I actually got out with Dylan yesterday for a lovely, long walk. It was around 50 degrees here and NO EAST WIND!!! Between tons of rain the past couple of months, then beautiful weather but the brutal EW blowing, he and I have been pretty-much housebound. The highlight was stopping and watching a crew putting on a new roof...woooo hoooo! We like to live on the wild side!
PS...I must be the only woman alive who hasn't at least tried a Bronte or Austen book. Must be some kind of female gene I'm missing, eh? And I still haven't heard from Elizabeth...have you????
Wuthering Heights is annoying! Noone is likable! You should read their sister Anne's The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, very good book =). Miss you--glad you survived the weather!
