piploverHappy Mother's Day to all the mommy's on my list. I hope your day is filled with sunshine, love, and all the happiness you could ever want.
My sister came down on Friday to surprise my mom, and everyone else, lol, and it was a wonderful weekend. We celebrated Mother's Day yesterday, as she has to go back to Seattle today, and I have to work. Boo! But we had fun.
My brother and his fiance cooked steak and crab legs, and we had backed potatoes and salads. My poor sister recently found out she is allergic to milk, so we were all frantically checking labels to make sure she could eat stuff. She had to leave off the ice cream cake, but brother found some non-dairy ice cream and apple strudels for her, and she was happy.
Also, the sis and I went vintage close shopping yesterday. She's a stick with legs, and so was able to fit into the most beautiful gowns from the 1930s, 40s and 50s. I was soooooo jealous!!!!!!! Honestly, ever dress I liked I couldn't even imagine fitting into. The owner of the shop was like, "I never have anyone small enough to fit into these dresses, so it's nice to see how they look on people and not a manquein." We were both extremely jealous, lol.
My sister took it all gracefully and bought a very pretty summer dress from the late 30s that was in remarkably great condition. All she has to do is add a few snaps and she's set.
Once more, SO JEALOUS!
After that shopping excursion we just kind of lazed about and then watched The Blind Side. It was excellent!
All in all, it was a lovely day, and I think my mom was happy with it. She's the kind of person you have to tie down if you want her to relax, so we considered it a win that the only thing she did was clean the kitchen after dinner, and we all chipped in to help.
Hopefully today will be a slow day at work, with no upsetting customers. I've been feeling on the brink of crappy again, but not enough to stop me from doing things, so I'm counting myself lucky and taking today slow. Money has been rather tight lately, what with all the bills suddenly coming due and not enough money to pay them, but I'm not going to stress myself out about it. Things will be taken care of, I'll just be tight for a while. Sigh. Which means it will be a bit longer before my computer is fixed. It's still giving me trouble, though thankfully it has stopped turning itself off. I'm afraid to save anything to it, and am backing even the littlest thing up. I'm hoping in the next month or so I can take it in and have it thoroughly examined and cleansed, and then hopefully it will work correctly again. Until then, please forgive me if I'm absent. I'm able to sneak on at work, but I don't want to press my luck too much with that. And it's terribly frustrating to try and post anything at home.
Sorry this was so long. Hope you all have a beautiful Sunday, wherever you are!
