(personal/writing) Monday and the weekend recap

Wow, where did my weekend go??? Seriously. I'm putting in an order for about 24 more hours each weekend. I'll let you know when I get it. >.<

Val is in an odd mood today - beware.

I got a bunch done this weekend, with help from the hubby. Saturday we went and got Steingrim safely married off to his lady - it was a great wedding, and there were no polearms in sight. :)

Sunday, I got up and found the second couch in my living room, then left to go shopping while [livejournal.com profile] argus7hills started laundry and did dishes. I went out with Mom and Dad to check prices for food for [livejournal.com profile] aishabintjamil's wedding, then went and bought my new freezer and grocery-shopped for the week. Then I came home, did a few loads of laundry and wrote a bit. I got 401 words yesterday - sooo close to 40k. I have a feeling this draft is going to max out at 80k, but that's okay. I already have at least one scene to add in later.

My happiness list for today:

1. Green grass! I did - I saw green grass (alive, too!) today. Yay!

2. Buying a new outfit for my niece. It's adorable - pink polka dots and jean capris. I love little girl clothes.

3. Opening day at Fenway tomorrow! I cannot wait. I hope I can get out early enough to hear it. :p Yes, I am a geek. And no, I'm not worried yet. Talk to me in July.

4. Gym! I went to the gym this morning and got 20 minutes on the treadmill. And the knee didn't twinge too much (yes, I wore my brace).

5.Warmer weather - it's supposed to be 60 degrees F tomorrow!!!

What makes you happy today?

Hey, Kate is staying in CT this weekend (work and having been too social for the last few weekends) but I am still up.

Okay! Tell Kate we will send you back with lots of leftovers.

The lovely weather we're having right now makes me happy. Now, if it dries the ground out enough for me to till my garden, I'd be even happier!

Agreed!

Amen :) I'm using the city's indoor pool, until the one at my apartment complex opens.
