Waxing Mr. Magoo

The weekend...  what on earth have I done?  I burned a couple cds...

Friday night, we went to see my bestie because I didn't have a car on Thursday when I had wanted to go...  That situation has been resolved, thankfully since!  So after our visit, I took the boy home and let him play games while I worked for a couple hours on worky stuff for work.  Earlier on Friday, I was "cleaning" up a folder and removing copies of programs in order to move the scripts to a new client that was going to use them.  I accidentally removed the programs...  

with...no...backups...of...them...

Luckily they're still in the testing mode so no one was using them, but yikes!!!  Those were complicated!  So I spent two hours on a Friday night trying to recreate 2D barcode labels to print correctly on a pdf report...  What are 2D labels you ask?  

Pure hell.

On Saturday, I was determined NOT to worry about the labels for the rest of the weekend.  That'll come today.  I did a garbage run, picked up a few things I bought on the local FB swap page and had a great visit with one of them.  We have SO much in common, it's crazy... And both her little boys, who were around Leon's age were running around the house in their undies.  Too cute!  I bought a bunch of antique-y type things from her for Meri and my booth at the antique mall... where she used to work...  and she sews...  and has a fabric stash that she's loath to get rid of...  

See what I mean about things in common?  Too crazy.  I invited her to the next sewing meeting.

I also picked up a mini-microwave for $10 for Maddy's dorm this fall.  Hey Mabs!!! It's adorable!!!  And actually I haven't tried it out yet to see if it works.  The guy SAID it does...

Got my back cracked at the chiropractor, stopped to visit with Robb briefly while he helped a friend load a moving van and then headed home to sew.  I sewed and sewed and sewed on that wedding dress so I'd have something for the bride to try on on Sunday.  I did take a pic of the lacy bodice part but can't find the camera this morning...  I probably laid some fabric on top of it...  Oh well.  I'll show you eventually.

Understitched the bodice lining, put the lacey overlay tunic-y type blouse together but left the side seams undone for fitting purposes.  Did 6 french seams on the floor length chiffon skirt layers and attached them to the satin bodice.  

Got sick of 70s music and sewing around 4:30pm.  Went downstairs and made a boatload of pizzas.  Four.  Even looked up online for some new styles to try and decided to try my hand at a meatball pizza.  I should have made that in a small personal pan kind because no one else tried it.  It wasn't terrible...  and I did put Rotel on it to jazz it up a bit.  I think it helped.

I also made hamburger bacon with onions, chicken alfredo with bacon on half and a cheese burger pizza in a personal pan size for Meri because she requested it.  I did NOT make a pepperoni pizza because there was still leftover Casey's pepperoni pizza in the fridge that Leon could eat.  He opted for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich anyway.  And Ryan left with him.  So really... I made 4 pizzas for 3 people.  There are a lot of leftovers in the fridge...

Oh and while I was up to my elbows in pizza sauce, Robb got home from the moving adventure with steaks.  REALLY?...  ToNIGHT was super secret steak night?  

Someone should have dropped me a clue!!  

We had that on Sunday night instead.

After dinner, Meri and I ran to do a little grocery shopping at a store that's closed on Sundays and I accidentally almost ran into a guy with my cart.  He was acting gracious and held out his arm to let us go in first.  I said Thank you!! and went.  Meri later told me that he wasn't happy about me almost hitting him and was angry at us.  I felt like Mr. Magoo because I hadn't noticed....  

We hung back because Meri was embarrassed and didn't want to run into him again while we shopped.  

I took Meri to the DQ for Moolattes, yum!!  While we were parked in the drive through, we noticed Ryan's car at the business next door.  We saw him, Jen and Leon inside the building.  So Meri texted both of them "I see you."  Neither of them looked at their phones...  It was kind of a creeper move to be watching them while they shopped so we confessed when they came out to the car at the same time we got to the DQ window.

Sunday, after church, Robb and I took Leon down to his mom's then Robb had a buy one, get one free coupon for HuHot!  Yay!  I saw someone in line that I recognized but couldn't place where.

Robb saw that I saw her but didn't say anything.  So while we're waiting around the grill for our food too cook, I couldn't hold back any longer and had to ask.  "How do I know you???  4H??  Preschool??"

She touched my arm and said, "I go to your church..."

...

How embarrassing!!!  Well, if she'd had her kids with her, I'd SO put two and two together!!

Oh, I had the fitting for the wedding gown somewhere in there and have a laundry list of adjustments that need to be done, but all in all, she's loving it so far!

I spent a couple hours that afternoon sewing again.  I mended a pair of pants for Robb, a dress of mine and made Robb a Dopp Kit.  I haven't waxed it yet but plan to do that today.

Well, that was lengthy...  What did you do this weekend?
