a long weekend

This weekend is in process of being one. We had thought about making a run to Albuquerque to see Ron's sister and her husband before they left for North Carolina, but it didn't work out. It felt like Saturday all day today. (and I'm not complaining about that, either) We even discussed among ourselves, over dinner, what we should do to entertain ourselves. Turns out, not much. We did catch the first episode of Dollhouse, Joss Whedon's latest effort. It was interesting, but I wasn't overwhelmed with giddiness about it. Interesting concept, but.... well there are things about those "become anyone" series that I have a hard time with.

Then there is tomorrow, Valentine's Day. I don't feel I need to spend a fortune just because commercialism says I should, nor do I feel Ron should spend it on me. Still, I do like to be thought of, and so some token something is nice. I wish I could think of something cool to make or create that would do the trick. No such luck this year. Looks like what will happen is that I will go to the storage unit (the smaller one from last time) and we will finish cleaning it out. We'll do a little furniture moving in the house as well, change some chairs from one room to another. No gaming though. So, we're back to entertaining ourselves for the evening.

Raine has been invited for a sleep-over Sunday night with her friend, who's birthday is on Monday. We shopped for a gift, already. She's been on some cooperative behavior today. She should have a good time, though.

So, a nice, four day weekend, and no big plans, and a lot of entertaining ourselves. Really, I think we can handle it.
