We started our weekend with Pizza on Friday night and movies we picked up from the library. We watched Silver Linings Playbook and This Means War. I really liked SLP, but Zach was not as impressed. The other was just o.k. We were up until about 1:00 a.m., which is practically unheard of for us anymore! We got up at 8:00 on Saturday morning and went out to get Mickey D's! I only eat McD's breakfast twice a year, and I have to say the McGriddles I enjoyed was worth every last calorie and gram of fat. It was so disgustingly good! : ) We made two trips to Harbor Freight to pick up tools for Zach. I joked that he is my Mr. Couponer because he got 5 screwdrivers, 3 sockets, and a tape measurer for $4. Their computers were down, so they gave up the tape measurer for free, but Zach had coupons for the rest. We also went to Lowe's to get paint for our paintable wallpaper we were going to put up in our bathroom. I eyeballed it and picked a bluish color.
My Mom came over that afternoon andhelped pretty much put it up with my assistance. It seemed like it took forever when you factored in letting the wallpaper glue activate, cutting, measuring, and smoothing it down, but it looks amazing. I got the paint out that night after she left to try it out on a spare piece we had and became aware that is was definitely not the right color. We watched several episodes of The Office and sacked out.
Sunday morning my Mom texted me to tell me that church was canceled due to the ice/sleet that had already begun. I heard Zach getting ready for work so I yelled to him (still in bed at this time) that it is canceled. He came in and said that he got two minutes down the road and his boss had called to tell him the B & J's was closed for the day due to the weather! Score! I was disappointed not to get to go to church and even more sad he would be at work, so for him to get to be home with Nellie and I was a gift! I made the same sausage breakfast casserole I made last Sunday for the two of us. We ended up returning to Lowe's and the amazing ladies in the paint dept. were able to re-tint (is that a word?) our paint to a color that compliments our shower curtain and the bathroom tile so well. I was ecstatic that they did it. Did I mention they were my heroes for the day? We had Subway for lunch and I came home and got to painting. The end result is amazing. We both love the wallpaper and the color, so now Zach wants me to go ahead and wallpaper the other half instead of just painting. It is finally a presentable bathroom again, though! Two people replied, "Wow"when I texted them pictures. I guess it's that good! Needless to say, I am thrilled with the change!
Zach took a nap Sunday afternoon while I was playing with a site that turns your blog posts into a book (Wow, are they expensive!) and then I made lesson plans. We had leftovers for supper and then found out my school was canceled for Monday. Yay for another night with no bed-time!
So that brings us to today, where my weekend has been extended. I hate that we will have to make-up this day after the weekend, but it was just so nice to get to spend another day with Zach and Nellie. (USI canceled too, so Zach only had his internship!) Nellie and I took a 2 HOUR nap and cleaned a little. I figure it's okay to have an actual lazy snow day every once in a while! We already know that we have a 2 hr delay for tomorrow, so I have already set my alarm for two hours later! Viva la Snow Day! : )
